It ain't magic but, I would say it's worth the $$$
Here's about 500 sq.ft of 3000 we are doing this month. 2'X4' limestone. Pretty damn flat.

Hey Karl. Looking mighty fine there!

 

[CJKarl]

Thanks Angus,
Unfortunately nothing lined up after this job till spring thaw. We figure we have another month between the floor, interior steps and risers and a mile of baseboard.
Looking for help this winter? :shutup:

Karl, I would work with you in a heart beat.

I don't get to do big stone projects like you do, though :sad:

 

[ApgarNJ]

Nice work Karl! what was it like working with that system? if there is a thickness difference, how does it work?

 

[MAD Renovations]

That looks great Karl....:thumbsup:

 

[tgeb]

That certainly does look "pretty damn flat".

Very nice.

How do you handle a 2'X4' piece of limestone, looks like it would be pretty heavy.

 

[CJKarl]

The stone tile is gauged. I'd say they weigh about 40 lbs each. 2 guys setting each one, one guy mixing and prepping.

Wow, way out of my league there. I'm curious about how the system works. Could someone give a brief description? Thanks

Tuscan Levelling System

How level was the floor before you started?

How much correction can you achieve with the clamps?

Looks great....

:clap:

 

[CJKarl]

Floor is pretty good, but not perfect. We are basically using the clips to hold the stones in position after we get them dead level.

 

[CJKarl]

I think with a thiner/lighter tile you could use the straps more to achieve a perfectly flat floor or use more straps. As posted before, because of the weight here we are using the straps to hold the stone in place after we get it level.

The cable tie one.

 

[jhammer7]

Does it look like this one?

 

[mwtradetool]

Karl the floor looks great! I am glad the TLS worked out for you. :thumbsup:

 

[katoman]

Karl - awesome, way, way out of my league too. I'm wondering, seeing that limestone is soft if there is some type of finish going on top?

 

[CJKarl]

Does it look like this one?

Not that one, that's the nicer adjustable one. Mine is just a zip tie puller. Works fine.

"Sophia's" new home for a month or so. Semi-heated.

.....and you know your house is big when you need ladder jacks and a 24' plank to work in your living room.

Sophia looks very happy in her new home.
A truly spectacular home at that. I can't wait to see the finished picture!
