Explain why a thick-bed mortar is needed under large natural stone floor panels on a concrete subfloor.

What will be an ideal response?


Large natural stone panels have large thickness variation. Additionally, they cover a large subfloor area, implying that the subfloor unevenness under a panel is also large. The unevenness in subfloor and the thickness variation in panels creates stress concentration at various points under a panel, requiring a thicker cushion and, hence, a
thick-bed bed mortar is required.
