Hello All,

We are having difficulty laying flagstones evenly because these flagstones
are a natural, limestone product and the thickness varies by up to 3mm.
We are using a builder who is very good in many respects but, maybe, not an
expert in this area.

The flagstones are part of a heated/warmed floor, and they need to be laid
on flexible adhesive. Our builder knows about varying the amount of adhesive
to allow for variations in thickness. I feel that the height variation
should be within about 1 - 2 mm. Do you think that this is reasonable ? 

We are using a wider grout, about 15mm. to make the height variation less
obvious.

Has anyone any views/experience on this ?

All comments welcome.

John N.
