When pressing in the sheets does the thinset ooze up between the stones at all?
Thanks for the video. Great job. I wish I hired you instead of the guy that I actually hired. He installed the pebbles on my shower floor and in some areas the shower floor is so high that it raises above the bathroom floor so there are areas of the shower floor that slope away from the drain. He wants to grind the pebbles to correct the slope. Is this acceptable? Thanks.
when tiling the shower wall before a rounded pebble shower floor, how close to the shower pan should the first row of tiles sit? Should they be flush to the pan membrane or be raised some distance above? It seems to me that it can be placed abutting the floor membrane. thanks
Where the wall tiles meets the floor tiles, do you use a sealant/caulking?
Is there a trick to measuring the sheets or is it just easiest to cut it close and fill in the spaces piece by piece. Just did a shower floor and bench today and my guy was having a hard time measuring the sheets to make a straight cut for along tbe sides of the existing tile wall. He was measuring from the longest point sticking out on a side. I got the idea to measure and mark it from the back side using the mesh Square edges as my point of reference to pull measurements from. Is there a trick to it or just as fast to cut the mesh and place stones in that are close. It was my first pebble shower turned out great just killed alot of time measuring and cutting and re cutting. I discovered when it was all said and done the 4. Stones on the outer corners are flush with the mesh
Do you guys not pitch the floor before setting tile so that it doesn't collect standing water?
I installed a pebble shower bed I have a few high points is there someway that I could sand some of the pebbles to get a better pitch to the drain thank you
I am installing the very same stone I bought from Lowe's. What thinset did you use? Also, I read that Fusion Pro Grout is the closest thing to waterproof as you can get...Thoughts?
wish we could have seen the grouting process and sealing. Would you recommend Prism Ultimate?
You forgot to show how to cut them.
