Browse Forums Paving & Concreting 1 Nov 06, 2011 8:10 pm I have a small court yard for my new house I am building with a alfresco area and pool. About 120 meters. I have purchased 600 x 600 x 20mm Marble from China. (slippery when wet yes I know) I thought the best way to lay the marble would be to concrete first, fall away to a stainless grate drain and lay the marble with tile glue. Ant thoughts would this be the best way to do it and if so what thickness concrete. Is mesh required?

Re: Marble on concrete??? 3Dec 08, 2011 6:53 am Concrete will work, just make sure you don't have any air pockets under the marble. If the concrete is flat but falling away thin set concrete might be better to "glue" the tiles to the base.
