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.

my terrace was installed last week:
- 2cm (0.8 inches) porcelain stoneware tiles, 60cm x 60cm (24 inches x 24 inches)
- laid loosely on decorative gravel
- with 3mm (0.1 inches) spacers
Question: how did you handle jointing?
The landscaper said that no joints are necessary:
- no noise is produced
- if dirt gets on it later during barbecues, it can be cleaned easily
What do you think?
THANK YOU for your answers.
