slate flooring Frequently Asked Questions
How does Slate flooring hold up outside?
How would it compare with porcelin or ceramic tile on an outdoor patio...I am going to be laying over an existing concrete pad, what other things do I need to consider?
I too have been installing all manner of tile and flooring for many years, and certainly the others who have,,,have valid suggestions. My questions to you might be is this a manufactured slate? IE: with a bottom surface like tile? or is this pieces of field stone you want to lay over a slab?
The difference is important.
If it's been manufactured/milled to have a "flat" underside then it installs like any other tile, and a 1/4 or 3/8 knife will work. If it's as textured and uneven on the underside as the top, I'd go with the heavier mortar, work in small areas at a time, try to use pieces that have the largest FLATS face up and use a level or a level on a 2x4. The end result, textured/natural looking or not, should not end up being a "trip" hazzard.
Actually when/if I install natural slate, I lay down as much mortar as I can, press the pieces into it, often just 4 at a time, so that the mortar squeezes up into the joints and run my finger to smooth it. Slate is very porous and Grout better match if you choose grout, and in the sponging/wiping up excess process the grout can stain the slate. If you use to much of a wet sponge you'll also degrade the bonding agents in the grout, Plus shred the sponges.
I do suggest a test, as I do often
"Waste" 4 pieces of slate on a sheet of plywood, trying any methods you choose, before the effort of the major install, perhaps finding answers/the best way/ and avoid dissapointment during and after the fact.

Does a slate pool table wreck your floor? Can a pool table be too heavy?
I want to buy a slate pool table for my house. I live in a townhouse and its two levels. I want to put it on the second level. i was talking to a friend and he said that a pool table will a) wreck the floor (its carpeted) and b) be too heavy for the floor. I'm wondering if anyone has bought a pool table for their house and if there is any truth to what my friend told me. Or if anyone has any advice on pooltables in houses.
The table is not too heavy for the floor. Lots of people have pool tables on the second floor of their houses without problems.
The table very well could leave indentions in the carpet. But like the last person said, if you put pads in, you could reduce or eliminate this affect.
