Building a step .... mortar reinforced.

By: Harry Dunbar
I've used a mortar bed for the tile installation on the landing and I'll use the same system for the step. First I build a frame to support the plywood.

After the plywood is installed I attach roofing felt and lath.

I've used "deck mud" for the mortar bed on the landing. For the step I've used "fat mud" which is the same as "mortar mix".

By using a mortar bed I'm able to create a level and flat surface to the exact measurement I need.

The slate is set, grouted and washed.

I've used a Schluter trim along the edge of the tiles.




Another step ... Slate slabs.
