Greenhouse Floor Complete

The greenhouse floor is floating flagstone with cement grout.  

 
The greenhouse subfloor is prepared by covering with a layer of 6 mil plastic topped with a 1" layer of sand.




















The sand is leveled and tamped prior to placing the flagstone.




















The peat moss filter area of the floor needs to be reinforced to support the flagstone. We embed steel reinforcement in the sand layer for this purpose.





















Next we installed two floor drains (to be cut flush and capped in future).



























The rest of the flagstone is installed. Unfortunately we ran out before finishing the floor.





































































The gaps are grouted.



































We had to obtain more flagstone to finish the floor but the supplier wasn't able to supply the next batch so we had to find another source. The new flagstone did not match the previous supplier.


 

 

 

 

 

 














But it provided a neat demarcation of the bathroom entrance.
