A stone carpet is a decorative, modern floor covering made of real natural stone granules bonded with a high-quality adhesive to form a solid, seamless surface. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and is an attractive alternative to tiles or other floor coverings.

Yes, thanks to the specially developed step-by-step instructions, our stone carpet complete sets can easily be laid by yourself, even without prior knowledge.

Our consumption calculator automatically calculates all required materials after entering the area in m².

Simply select the desired marble gravel color, enter the area in m² in the consumption calculator and the complete set will be calculated for you.

Suitable substrates for a stone carpet are:

• Concrete, e.g., base slab, screed or concrete terrace
  
• Cement screed or anhydrite screed
  
• tiles
  

It is important that each surface is prepared beforehand by sanding or blasting so that the primer can adhere optimally afterwards.

A stone carpet offers numerous advantages over traditional tiles. Its seamless surface prevents the accumulation of dirt and water, and its textured surface provides superior slip resistance, especially on patios, balconies, and stairs. Unlike tiles, a stone carpet is elastic and impact-resistant, preventing cracks and chips. It can be flexibly designed in a variety of colors, grain sizes, and patterns; even custom designs are possible. Easy cleaning without grout maintenance and a weather- and frost-resistant surface make it exceptionally low-maintenance and durable. Furthermore, a stone carpet can often be installed directly over existing surfaces, simplifying renovations and saving time.

Stone carpets are durable, easy to clean, slip-resistant, frost-proof, and UV-resistant. They also offer a modern design, a wide range of colors, and a pleasant feel underfoot.

A stone carpet typically lasts 15 to 25 years, sometimes even longer - this depends heavily on the substrate, use and maintenance.

Our complete stone carpet kit contains all necessary materials and is available in the smallest size (2 m²) for €129.00. The price per square meter may vary depending on the size ordered, becoming more affordable as the area decreases.

The stone carpet needs approximately 24 hours to dry. After 3 days, furniture etc. can be placed on the surface. After 7 days, the stone carpet is completely chemically cured.
It has hardened and can be fully used.

A stone carpet can be installed almost anywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Indoors, it's ideal for living rooms, hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, and staircases, as well as for commercial spaces or showrooms. Outdoors, it can be used on patios, balconies, loggias, garden paths, pool surrounds, or open-air stairs. A clean, stable, and level surface such as concrete, screed, or existing tiles is required.

Our complete sets contain the precisely matched amount of primer, quartz sand, binder, marble gravel and smoothing agent.

Bauchemie.at currently offers 18 different marble gravel colors, so there is a suitable color for every taste.

Edge profiles for stone carpets ensure a clean and stable finish. They prevent the stones from chipping or becoming damaged at the edges and facilitate installation by guiding the carpet evenly. At the same time, they protect heavily used edges, such as those on stairs or terraces, and create a visually appealing transition to walls or other floor coverings.

The surface should be ground using a diamond cup wheel and then vacuumed.

Yes, stone carpets are frost and weather resistant. However, it is important that water can drain away freely.

The primer is applied and spread evenly over the surface using a paint roller.

The quartz sand is sprinkled into the primer to prepare the substrate for the
further processes gain a tangible form.

Allow the primer to dry for approximately 2-4 hours (depending on the weather).

Yes, laying it on stairs is possible! For vertical surfaces, the specially developed Vertical Binder is required.

Cut the rails to size so they are flush all around. Then, attach the rails using spot adhesive. This spot fixing ensures optimal drainage of the stone carpet. Finally, smooth and remove any excess adhesive with a knife or trowel.

For the implementation of the stone carpet project, we offer optimally coordinated complete sets for outdoor areas (terraces, balconies & more), for pool surrounds and for indoor areas.

Here you'll find the various project solutions - ready-made solutions for your DIY project.

Due to its open pores, the stone carpet in outdoor areas can be easily rinsed with clean water. For optimal results, the surface can be sprayed with a special stone carpet cleaner, worked in with a brush, and then thoroughly rinsed with water.

The marble gravel for the stone carpet has a grain size of 2-4mm.

The difference between solvent-based and solvent-free binders lies primarily in their composition, application, and environmental compatibility:

Solvent-based binder suitable for outdoor use

Contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that evaporate during curing.

Stronger odor and more harmful to health with insufficient ventilation, which is why it is not suitable for indoor use.

Solvent-free binder suitable for indoor use

Contains no or very small amounts of volatile solvents.

More environmentally friendly, low odor and safer for health.

Here are the various step-by-step stone carpet instructions:

Stone carpet with waterproofing

Stone carpet without waterproofing

Stone carpet with E-floor sealing

Mix the marble with the Vertical binder to form a homogeneous mass (approx. 12% binder by weight of the stone). First, pretreat the vertical surface ("primer") and apply the binder at a rate of approximately 300 g/m². Then, spread the stone carpet mixture evenly with a trowel and adjust it to the height of the finishing strip (approx. 8 mm).

It is suitable for sealing stone carpets indoors, especially in areas that are not permanently wet.

Mix the marble with the binder to form a homogeneous mass (binder content approx. 8% of the stone weight). Then, apply the stone carpet mixture evenly with a trowel and adjust it to the height of the finishing strip (approx. 8 mm). Work on the vertical surfaces first, before laying the horizontal surfaces, to prevent any falling stone carpet mixture from landing on already finished horizontal areas.

First, spread the stone carpet evenly to a layer thickness of approximately 10 mm and then compact it (smooth it with a trowel under slight pressure). After compaction, clean the tool and...
Lightly spray with our smoothing aid and smooth with a final coat (this prevents the stone carpet from sticking to the trowel).
