Stone source and cost?

12 years ago

Hello! I love this fireplace remodel. I have an asymmetrical fireplace that has been a challenge for us to reface. I think this stone would work very well. Could you please give me the details for this stone - the exact name, color, cost per sq. ft. etc. I hope to finish this project and do a post on it for other houzzers who might be in a similar dilemma. Hope you can help me! Thanks!

This material is from the Tile shop - the stone is : Quartzite - the color is Belgrade and it sells for $ 15.99 a sq.ft.
It should be installed with a white polymer grade thin set.
No grouting required, it's a dry stack installation.
This material has to be cut with a tile & stone wet saw.
It made for a great transformation in this room !

If you are applying this stone over any sealed materials such as the brick in this project.
you will need to apply a coat of membrane so the thin set adheres to the brick properly.
The product I used was from Bostik and is call Ultra set.
Not easy to apply to a vertical surface.
This product will permanently bond to the brick and allow the thin set to bond the stone to the brick properly. thin set must be applied to the membrane within 72 hrs.
