When the patio and balcony are taking a winter break, indoors is the best place for a new project. A stone carpet creates a seamless, warm surface in the hallway, bathroom, kitchen or on the stairs. It can be laid on many existing surfaces, often even directly over old tiles.
What is a stone carpet?
A stone carpet consists of fine marble gravel and a binder. Both are mixed, applied and smoothed. The result is a continuous floor without joints that is pleasant to walk on.
What you need
- An indoor stone carpet kit in the shade you want
- A suitable primer
- Smoothing trowel, mixing paddle and mixing bucket
- For bathroom and kitchen: pore filler or sealer
Your new floor in five steps
- Prepare the substrate: The floor must be firm, clean, dry and free of grease. Remove loose parts and level out uneven areas.
- Prime: The primer ensures adhesion between the substrate and the stone carpet.
- Mix: Mix the gravel and binder thoroughly, exactly as described in the instructions.
- Apply and smooth: Spread the material evenly, then compact and level it with the smoothing trowel.
- Protect: In wet areas, fill the pores or seal the surface so that it is easy to clean.
Practical tips
- Work at room temperature and keep the area clear while it cures.
- Order the material for one area in a single order so that the shade stays uniform.
- Work quickly and in sections so that no transitions become visible.
- For walls, baseboards and stair treads there are separate kits with a non-sag binder.
