Roger,
Grinding on a butt joint floor can be challenging, as mentioned
on pervious email depending if the stone is set on concrete or wood. Hopefully
if it’s set on wood there is still the setting material that would trap
the moisture if aany waters penetrated through the joints. Usually floor that
are but jointed still have been grouted. You just are not seeing the grout as
well as you would if there was an actual grout line. If you grind this floor, I
would recommend grinding it using minimum water or if you have dry grinding
equipment then dry grind it, unless you have the proper dry vac and you are vacuuming
as you grind you will have another problem DUST CONTROL .
I would grind it wet just control the amount of water used.

Subject: [sccpartners] Limestone Floor

I have been question on grinding a limestone floor.
The design of the tile is such that it is set butt joint and thus has no
grout. If one was to grind the floor flat would there be a problem with water
seeping below the tiles and possible causing problems. Appreciate your
feedback. Thanks, Roger Konarski |
