granite vertical slab installation

[tilegirl]

How do you hang slabs vertically without showing anchors?

[Mark D.]

You drill a hole into the back of the slab and insert a piece of copper rod into the hole. Then you fill the hole with epoxy. You then tie the rod into the structure in the wall you are covering. That way if your adhesive ever gives way the rod will secure the stone to the structure. When you drill the hole you drill it at an upwards angle, so even if the epoxy were to come loose from the granite gravity will prevent the epoxy ball on the end of the rod from coming out of the hole.

Simple, yes?

Glad to be of service,
