1. Prepare the surface. Prepare the subfloor for a clean and dry, flat and even surface. If plywood is used as a subfloor, then a backer board needs to be installed/attached to the subfloor as an underlayment. 2.Preview tiles layout and apply thin-set.

Underlying issues on the selection, use and conservation of building limestone
As well as the physico-chemical processes described above, limestones are, like any exposed stone, subject to a wide range of additional weathering regimes. This includes those associated with deteriorative biofilms found under many environmental conditions (Miller et al. 2010), freeze–thaw processes that are important in, for example, many

· Limestone is a sedimentary rock. It’s made up of calcium carbonate. It forms from the shells and bone fragments of organisms, meaning it has lots of fossils. It’s a great building material and is used for flooring, walls, and decoration. Limestone often has fossils that give us a glimpse into the past.
