Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear forum members,
The house construction is progressing, and I now need to start thinking about the terrace.
It will be a corner terrace (south-west facing) of about 90 sqm (970 sq ft).
The house description (scope of work) includes a gravel base with Jura gravel that ends approximately 20 cm (8 inches) below the finished terrace height, providing the option to add crushed stone or similar material.
I would like to install 90 x 90 cm (35 x 35 inches) R11 tiles with a thickness of 2 cm (0.8 inches).
Is it possible to lay them on crushed stone, and do I need so-called spacers or pedestals?
Thank you very much.

Hello, can adjustable pedestal supports be placed on crushed stone?You can do that, but is it really a good idea?XAMMAX2 schrieb:
I get tiles for the house that are only 1 cm (0.4 inches) thick for outdoor use.
Can support pedestals be placed directly on gravel? Those are probably tiles but not traditional patio slabs.
For a gravel base, you need slabs with substantial size, typically at least 40 x 40 cm (16 x 16 inches), and adequate thickness. Minimum 2 cm (0.8 inches), preferably more than 2 cm.
Using support pedestals on a gravel base logically doesn’t make sense.
Great, excellent answer.
Now I know that I need a small or thin expansion joint and tiles with a thickness greater than 2cm (0.8 inches).
Does anyone know a good supplier or an affordable tile starting at the size of 60 x 60cm (24 x 24 inches), preferably larger?
Thank you very much
