This detail shows 2 cm (3/4 in.) thick dimension stone on a bonded mortar bed over a concrete substrate. The mortar setting bed is bonded to the concrete with a cementitious bond coat. The stone is typically fresh-set (i.e. the mortar bed is still workable) and adhered to the mortar with a cementitious bond coat; alternatively, the mortar bed may be allowed to cure before adhering the stone. Optional compatible waterproof membrane (not shown) may be applied over the mortar bed if it is cured. Expansion joints in the floor assembly must be provided at locations shown by the design professional. This detail is based on Natural Stone Institute’s exterior stone paving detail, Mortar Bed with Bond Coat. Details that show different or modified concepts or methods can be of equal validity and should not be excluded from consideration.
