Dear Winsen,
we have installed Sukabumi in 30 swimming pools in the Anantara resort which is 2000m above sea level on the mountain. we are now experiencing a white effervescing on the tiles in and out the water. please could you recommend how to clean and keep it clean.
many thanks Tom
Dear pak Winsen,
Benar sekali dengan Granirapid pemasangan batu alam akan menghasilkan hasil yang kuat dan baik juga dikemudian hari tidak akan terjadi pengapuran sehingga tidak muncul noda2 putih pada batu alam.
Selain Granirapid, apabila dibutuhkan yang memiliki waktu setting agak panjang mempermudah pengaturan, dapat menggunakan Kerabond T atau Keraflex Maxi S1 .
Apabila bapak kesulitan mendapatkan produk2 Mapei di area bapak, dapat menghubungi saya di 08111833923.
Terimakasih
Will this stone swell. We have an installation in a pool where the floor stones have popped. No expansion joints. Trying to determine if do to swelling or faulty installation.
Sean, did you get a reply? I am about to install in my pool in Perth and am very interested to hear from you?
Hi Jeremy,
We have distributor in Perth. Please kindly contact Ms Amanda McCurry (+61 423 282 268)
Kind Regards,
Winsen Setiawan
Hi Sean,
Thanks for your comment. There are 2 reason why the stone swell:
1) Wrong installation, the best gap joint is 10 mm except the mosaic form which is can be 3 mm gap. Also use the proper adhesive.
2) Bad material. In our factory we do selection on material so it will avoid swell/crumble. In some layer in quarry is not proper so block selection is very important. Some supplier sell cheap stone because they dont care of the problem that may occur after installation.
If you need further information please whatsapp on : +6281 741 222 59 or call +62 811 2014 80

Our pool has failed badly, mosaic 100mm x 100mm tiles with 3mm gap. entire floors and walls have fallen off, swelled and popped off, what is the correct adhesive to use? We used your tiles from a supplier in Australia. Please tell use exact method of installation and glue please. The pool looked wonderful until we had this problem but now a major fix is required
if you want better solutions for swimming pool, you can try our Nano crystallized stone, apart from anti-bacteria, it also can be anti-slip.
Dear Admin,
We are about to install the Sukabumi in a pool in Ibiza. However, the information about the installation is quite diverse.
1. We have been recommended Kerakoll Extreme
2. The size of the grout ( gap as you call it ) is quite large. 10mm.. We were thinking about only 2 mm. Are you now saying that the expansion of the stone is more than a 2mm gap can handle?
3. We have been looking at the Mapei products too but we favor Kerakoll. Do you have experience with this brand?
Awaiting your reply.
