A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/en\/stone-carpet\/\">\n  <strong>stone carpet<\/strong>\n<\/a> is a warm surface by nature. As it consists of many small <strong>pebbles<\/strong>, the installation of this flooring creates lots of small air chambers in the structure of the <strong>pebble flooring.<\/strong> These allow the warm room air to reach the quartz gravel or marble gravel from all sides, which means that the <strong>gravel floor<\/strong> adapts to the room temperature much more quickly. This effect is further emphasised by the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/en\/milling-underfloor-heating\/\">\n  <strong>underfloor heating<\/strong>\n<\/a>. As the thickness of the <strong>stone carpet<\/strong> is only 6 mm compared to a considerably thicker tile covering, it heats up much more quickly. This and the surface structure just mentioned allow the heat to be released into the room air more quickly.      <\/p>\n<p>These are by no means <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/steinteppich-innenbereich\/\">\n  <strong>all the advantages<\/strong>\n<\/a> that a <strong>stone carpet<\/strong> has to offer.

The reasons for this can be found in the basic structure of the floor and the wet room. Just as the tile adhesive under a tile does not form a completely flat surface without air pockets, pores also remain underneath a sealed stone carpet.  <\/p>\n<p>If, after years, a silicone seam leaks and water from a fitting, for example, penetrates between the wall or floor covering and the seal of the building structure, the transparent pore seal reacts with the water and forms white stains. As these occur underneath the seal, they cannot be wiped away or removed by drying. <\/p>\n<p>This is why insurance companies do not classify stone carpets as suitable for wet rooms and do not replace such coatings in the event of damage. We therefore recommend microcement coatings for showers. With these, there is no water-bearing layer between the floor covering and the substrate, so there is no risk of moisture penetration. Due to the many customization options for microcement, it can also be combined with stone carpeting.
