Could anyone advise on the following?
I'm laying Stonemarkets Arctic Granite slabs and looking for a very sleek look. With this in mind I wanted to keep the joints nice and thin although Stonemarket state the product can't be butt jointed.
So, would people reccomend brushing in a dry mix? Also, Stonemarket reccomend using white cement to avoid any staining (for the bedding and presumably jointing), but a section of paving is in the darkest colour so would this not look a bit odd? (whiteish joints and black slabs?)
Lastly, I want to use a strip of slabs (300 high) to clad a wall (only one slab high). Am I best just to use a mortar to do this, i'm concerned about getting them to stick to the wall. Would PVA help?
Lots of questions I know and any advice will be gratefully received!
