Q:Can these be placed on a sloped surface and without a binder or grout?
by|Jan 30, 2024
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: It is not recommended to install the slate paver tile on a sloped surface without a binder or grout. Using a binder or grout enhances adhesion, stability, and overall durability of the installation. This ensures that the tiles remain securely in place, especially on sloped surfaces where there is an increased risk of movement or displacement without proper adhesion.

Overall the price points for the (1) pallet of 4"x8" Belgium blocks was a very good deal, and none of my blocks were broken or even chipped!
The overall experience could have been better in the following ways:
1) Delivery should have had a forklift to position the pallet to the client's preferred location.
2) Block sizes were not uniform as indicated in the website description, so I had to carefully select between thicker vs thinner blocks.
Overall, the transaction went very well, and I hope this helps the next happy HD customer.

Chipping and cracking
Chipping corners on multiple pavers a week after installing. The chipping occurred with no use of the patio. This was installed On a concrete slab with a base of Masonary sand done by a master stonemason with over 40 years in the industry. Called MSI and emailed with no response. Local Home Depot was absolutely no help. Very disappointing!

Although the delivery was 3 days later than Home Depot's tracking said everything arrived in tact! 100% not a broken piece!!! Props to the shippers and packaging I guess. Now you might get some cracks later because of the nature of the stone. It seems brittle and has some cracks through it on couple of stones by nature, but if you want to avoid that get concrete ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The stone looks fabulous, the rest is up to you!

Product is beautiful, there is a pattern to follow, but difficult. You received different sizes to make pattern. Ordered 2 pallets, cost almost 3000.00, a few tiles on one pallet broken, lots more on second. That was disappointing, we have lots of left overs so will deal with it. Breakage not truckers fault. Wood pallets not stronge enough to carry weight. Too much weight per pallet caused breakage. Breakage is reason for 3 star rating, tiles alone get 5 star. Order a different palet of pavers to make circle for fire pit, different company etc, no breakage, lot less weight on pallet. We had this delivered directly to house, found delivery people very nice, helpful, polite. They called day before to arrange time of delivery. Photo is work in progress
The travertine is very colorful and fits together in the pattern nicely. It's a great natural looking stone. It's tumbled so it does have some pits, holes, but not an excessive amount, and that just adds to the natural look. We might have it sealed yet as we see that when it is wet the colors are greatly enhanced. I recommend it as an awesome solution to covering a concrete patio.
It was not purchased for it's intended use, but we found it easier to use off of the mesh due to the glue to hold it in place making the product unlovely, and unstable. After we figured that out it went smoothly and was beautiful
The Good
The stones are beautiful. The completed flagstone project easily added thousands to my home value (3 pallets cost me about $1400). Look at the fantastic kaleidoscope of stones colors in the pics! The beauty of the finished work is the reason for my 4-star rating. Call me crazy, but I only deduct one star because of all the bad/ugly stuff below.
The Bad
Cutting stones and mixing mortar is a dusty and dirty job! Quite annoying too how each "mat" of stones is wrapped like a Twinkie in plastic. You'd think the Twinkied stones would be dust-free and ready to be mortared ... but no, that would be too easy! Yes, you still gotta wash the stones to get all that dust off. The mats are fairly award to handle too (each has 6 stones). And oh yeah, having to take time off my day job to hang around for hours waiting for my 3 crates of stones was no joy either ....
The Ugly
As a previous reviewer carefully detailed, it does indeed take "forever" to install these mats. Hear this: even after lots of practice, I averaged only about 10 square feet per hour. See the step-by-step process below to understand why so slow. Also mentioned by previous reviewers, many stones fall off the mats (glued doesn't hold well), and the thickness of the stones vary widely.
The Broken
Other reviewers have complained about broken stones. I was not pleased either to find about 10% were broken in my first crate (far fewer were broken in the other crates). But after becoming an expert in this dirty job, I now realize 10% broken stones is no big deal since you wind up cutting many stones anyway for border areas.
The Pattern
Wasn't real obvious to me: the mats can be laid side-by-side in an offset pattern. In the diagram below each mat has six stones, numbered 1 thru 6. Each of the six stones in a mat has a very different shape.
But when laid out in the pattern below you'll have a continuous pattern and no need to cut stones in open areas.
_____1__________1__________1__________1_____
2__3___4__52__3___4__52__3___4__52__3___4__5
_____6__________6__________6__________6_____
1__________1__________1__________1__________1
_____2__3___4__52__3___4__52__3___4__52__3__
6__________6__________6__________6__________6
Step-by-Step Two-hour Plan for Ten-Square-Feet
Wash your concrete base foundation (concrete an absolute must since stones are somewhat fragile sedimentary rock).
Unwrap your Twinkie mats and wash to get the dust off.
Before mixing mortar, layout your mats per the above pattern.
Use an angle grinder with a diamond disc to cut stones for along wall/borders.
Now pick up all the mats and the cut stones and set to the side (need to make room for the mortar).
Take a break. Catch your breath. Make sure your stomach is full and your bladder is empty before proceeding to the next steps.
If you're working solo (like crazy me was), mix 30 lbs of mortar at a time (half a bag).
Slosh down your mortar with a 1/2" notched trowel all over you work area.
Lay down your mats and cut stones as already planned above (no time to think/plan now ... that mortar is starting to harden)
Wiggle all the mats and cut stones are into the mortar.
Use a 6" putty knife to press mortar between all the stones (skip this if you want to extend the agony by using grout instead).
Start washing the excess mortar off your rocks. Use a big sponge and a 5-gallon bucket of water; surprisingly, doesn’t seem to matter how dirty the wash water gets since the mortar tends to sink to the bottom of the bucket!
Now go reward yourself with a beer. You'll be drunk and exhausted but you can repeat the above steps for up to 4 beers a day!
