Title: Chinese slate problem
Post by: mark_roberts on April 05, 2014, 03:12:24 am
Did a survey yesterday on a chinese slate floor as described by customer. Looked and tested like slate.

Shes had a leak from washing machine.  Problem is a lot of the tiles the face has blowen away from the tile.  I could push a screwdriver against the ridge of the slate and a chunk would come off easily.

The more surprising thing to me was under the bit that came off was a clay base.

Is this normal?  I would of expected slate to be 100% through bodied slate.

I declined the job because of this.

Any thoughts.

Thanks
Mark
