In wet areas you have to be very careful with stone carpet. Even if your floor gets a coating or sealing. If a crack appears, stone carpet reacts like a sponge and the floor comes loose.

A coating is recommended to prevent dirt from creeping between the stones.

Small grain stone carpets are a little more difficult to maintain.

Placement

The installation of stone carpet is really specialist work. Request enough references so that you are sure that you are working with someone who has experience in this. You can lay stone carpet on any stable and solid surface , including on top of existing floors. Usually this is done indoors, but in exceptional situations stone carpet can also be used outside, for example in front of your resin driveway.

Regular vacuuming, a stone carpet does not require more maintenance. However, an annual cleaning with a special cleaning machine is recommended. With stone carpet without a coating, dust remains in the pores of the floor, so that it no longer circulates in a room. That is why stone carpet is a good choice for people with dust mite allergies.
