Answers to your questions about indoor opus incertum?

How to lay crazy paving?

Laying flagstones in an opus incertum pattern requires method and preparation. The subfloor must be stable and well-prepared. Indoors, it is possible to glue them onto a thin screed.

Before fixing the stones, it is advisable to dry-lay them to anticipate the connections and joint sizes. The length of the stones varies: some can be recut to optimize the arrangement.

Joints can be wide (for a rustic effect) or thin (for a contemporary look). The choice of joint color is also an important point for the final aesthetic.

How to maintain flagstone (opus incertum) paving?

The maintenance of opus incertum flagstones depends on the type of stone and its use. To preserve their appearance over time, it is recommended to use products suitable for natural stone, avoid acidic cleaners, and apply a water repellent if necessary.
