You will then need to use a paint roller, the size of which should depend on the area to be worked on. For a large room, use a large roller, otherwise priming will become an arduous task.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Afterwards, some fine quartz sand or silica sand is sprinkled on the moist primer<\/strong> so that the following layer has more grip and can be processed more efficiently. Let the primer dry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Preparation of the Mixture<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Now, mix the two-component binder and stir it thoroughly under the pebbles in the masonry bucket.<\/strong> It is essential to ensure the perfect mixing ratio, otherwise the pebbles will come loose after a few years. Follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions. Only mix as much as you can process within a short time. It is better to make several mixes in a row than one large one. Otherwise, the working time will be too short, and you will tend to hurry up and make mistakes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much resin you have to add to the mixture depends on the stones used.<\/strong> If you work with pebbles, you need 7% epoxy resin, whereas quartz usually requires at least 8%. Marble needs the most, because it acts almost like a sponge &#8211; it absorbs a large part of the resin, so you need to add at least 10% resin to the mixture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Application of the Pebble Carpet<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Now, you can pour the pebble carpet.<\/strong> Apply the mixture and immediately smooth it down with a trowel. Always use a finishing trowel and a spirit level to make the floor completely level. Check each area quickly for unevenness and level it out with more material. A very bright lamp will help greatly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The floor should have a thickness of about 6 mm. <\/strong>If you want a higher depth, you must take a longer drying time into account.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5607 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-cold-epoxy.jpg\" alt=\"stone cold epoxy\" width=\"848\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-cold-epoxy.jpg 848w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-cold-epoxy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-cold-epoxy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-cold-epoxy-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-cold-epoxy-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-cold-epoxy-262x175.jpg 262w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-cold-epoxy-162x108.jpg 162w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-cold-epoxy-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-cold-epoxy-610x406.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you only want to line a large area with the mass, the application is relatively simple.<\/strong> A little more demanding is the use of patterns, but even here, you do not necessarily have to be a professional if you want to make a stone carpet.<\/p>\n<p>There are prefabricated aluminum rails that can be clicked together, so you simply need to lay the rails on the surface, nail them down, and then fill in the openings with your mixture.

The pebble carpet reaches its final hardness after about seven days. Up to this time, cleaning should be avoided.<\/p>\n<p><strong>After drying and before you set up the furniture, you should always apply a pore seal, especially in damp rooms.<\/strong> Use a layer of <a href=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/en\/guide\/epoxy-clear-coat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>clear epoxy<\/strong><\/a> resin. This material penetrates the pores of the stone carpet and closes them. The surface structure remains almost entirely intact, but the pore closure ensures a much more hygienic cleaning and additional durability.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Stone Carpet Care and Cleaning<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Always wait until the stone carpet is wholly hardened before the first cleaning.<\/strong> The cleaning agent used should be free of any solvents. Otherwise, the binder contained in the stone carpet may dissolve, and within a few years, small pebbles will roll through the house.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special cleaning agents for stone carpets are available on the market.<\/strong> These usually contain essential oils, and thus guarantee an optimal feel-good fragrance. However, they should only be used in very diluted amounts. A few drops in a bucket of lukewarm water are quite sufficient, otherwise the consequences mentioned above may occur.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To be on the safe side, use a mild soap-based cleaner to clean your stone carpet. <\/strong>Also, do not work with hot water, as this could damage the epoxy resin layer. Water with a temperature of up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) is ideal. You do not have to wipe with a damp cloth. The stone carpet can be cleaned very wet, unlike parquet flooring, for example, which can swell if treated too wet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>After you have wiped the surface with soapy water, you should wipe it again with clear water,<\/strong> otherwise streaks may appear on the floor. If the water in your area is very calcareous, you should also clean with a soft microfibre cloth to avoid unsightly edges after drying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From time to time, you can also wax your stone carpet or apply a thin layer of clear epoxy resin.<\/strong> However, this is not absolutely necessary if the stone carpet has not been damaged.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Laying the Epoxy Stone Floor Outside<\/h2>\n<p>You can also make your own epoxy stone floor in the outside area. If you want to lay a stone carpet outside, you should pay attention to several things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stone carpets with epoxy resin as a binding agent are not suitable for outdoor use, because they are not lightfast and tend to yellow with the years.<\/strong> They are also unsuitable for rooms flooded with light. For such purposes, you should instead use a stone carpet, which is applied with a PU binder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In outdoor areas, you must ensure that the stone carpet is open-pored on the outside so that it is weatherproof, otherwise accumulated water can lead to frost damage. <\/strong>Before you start laying the stone carpet, you must ensure that the subfloor has a slope of about one percent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The main advantage of an outdoor stone carpet is that it is easy to level out any unevenness.<\/strong> The leveling of the subfloor is much easier than with wooden planks or tiles.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5606 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-carpets.jpg\" alt=\"stone carpets\" width=\"848\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-carpets.jpg 848w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-carpets-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-carpets-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-carpets-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-carpets-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-carpets-262x175.jpg 262w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-carpets-162x108.jpg 162w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-carpets-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stone-carpets-610x406.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you do not want to use large pebbles, a stone carpet with grains of sand might be an alternative for you. <\/strong>The grains usually have a size of 1 to 3 mm and can be processed just as easily as a carpet of pebbles. Just like the pebbles, they are pleasantly round because watercourses have ground them in riverbeds. This type of surface also creates a pleasant foot feeling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One difficulty in creating an exterior stone carpet is the different coefficients of expansion of the materials used.<\/strong> The coefficient of expansion describes the extent to which materials contract or expand at different temperatures. For this reason, some experts recommend that an outdoor stone carpet should be installed as a floating installation. This means giving it room to expand, so to speak, in order to avoid tension and cracks in the material.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you want to be on the safe side,<\/strong> you can fall back on prefabricated stone carpet elements, which are now available in specialist shops. In this way, you effectively avoid damage to the material used and can enjoy your floor for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Creating Stone Carpet Stairs<\/h2>\n<p>Especially on stairs, stone carpets cut an outstanding figure because they provide a pleasant foot feeling and, at the same time, the right grip. With a stone carpet staircase, you can easily upgrade old steps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special aluminum rails are available for this application.<\/strong> These prevent the applied coating from slipping and, at the same time, facilitate pouring. The fact that the tracks are almost invisible under the stone carpet, but still function as edge protection, is another advantage. You should not go without these rails; otherwise, the stairs become too vulnerable at the edges, and these can be damaged over time.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Tip:<\/em><span style=\"color: #00b7d5;\"><strong> If you want to create a stone carpet staircase, you should take care to apply the material really thinly so as not to change the step height too much.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What Is a Stone Carpet?<\/p>\n<p>A stone carpet is a floor covering made of rounded pebbles, marble pebbles, or quartzites, which are differently colored and, therefore, also available in many different shades. In addition, there is a binder, which is usually <a href=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/en\/guide\/best-epoxy-resin\" data-wpil=\"url\"><strong>epoxy resin<\/strong><\/a> or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/en\/guide\/polyurethane-resin\">polyurethane <\/a><\/strong>(PU) resin.\u00a0Stone carpets are also offered in different grain sizes. The stones are ground round, so that they give a pleasant feeling when walking.<\/p>\n<p>A stone carpet is poured, similar to screed. This can be done on an already existing floor covering such as concrete or tiles. Stone carpets are open-pored and have no joints. Stone carpets for outside and stone carpets for inside are available. In principle, this covering is perfectly suitable for all needs.<\/p>\n<p>Until 2016, solvent-based stone carpets were still available in stores. These are no longer permitted indoors, as they can emit harmful vapors. The stone carpets used today for interiors are considered harmless to your health.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5608 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stones-carpet.jpg\" alt=\"stones carpet\" width=\"848\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stones-carpet.jpg 848w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stones-carpet-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stones-carpet-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stones-carpet-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stones-carpet-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stones-carpet-262x175.jpg 262w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stones-carpet-162x108.jpg 162w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stones-carpet-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/stones-carpet-610x406.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages of a Stone Carpet?<\/h2>\n<p>Stone carpets have various advantages and disadvantages compared to other floor coverings:<\/p>\n<div class=\"sue-shadow-wrap su-u-trim sue-shadow-inline-no\"><div class=\"sue-shadow sue-shadow-style-simple\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"sue-panel\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"self\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:0px;box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;border:1px solid #cccccc\"><div class=\"sue-panel-content su-u-trim\" style=\"padding:15px;text-align:left\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"su-row\"><\/div><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;

For the shower itself, a stone carpet is also the ideal solution.<\/p>\n<p>A stone carpet is suitable wherever a noble appearance is desired. Not only do caf\u00e9 and car dealership owners like to use a stone carpet pattern, but also private individuals who want to lay a stone carpet outside and thereby refine their garden or the surroundings of a pool.<\/p>\n<p>A stone carpet gives every staircase and every corridor a distinctive flair.
