I just want to say THANK YOU for all your videos. This evening I have one slab left on a patio I'm doing. My garden was left with two patios laid in slate without a slurry. The slabs didn't adhere and I got my money back after the builder trying three times to lay me the two patios. I got my slab money back not realising how difficult it would be to find a cheap landscaper or builder locally. So I dug up the massive patio which contains steel, slabs, sand cement using a titan breaker. I'll grass and level that in the spring and using all your and another person's videos have laid a porcelain patio outside my conservatory. I have honestly had sleepless nights over this as I am also in the middle of divorce a I couldn't devalue the property. Here are before and after photos. THANKYOU, Zoe Colchester. I can't

Hi mate… my patio has been down 2 years… used this product initially, i have a number of hairline cracks along the grout lines… can i pour some more mix on top? Or chisel out and redo?… also is an angle grinder best method to remove grout?
@GreentopLandscapes
@GreentopLandscapes Жыл бұрын
Hi bud many thanks for watching video it seems with the cracks it suggests that there is some movement with this grouting system depending on the depth of the exhausting grout you may be able to go over the top but I would try and experiment first before doing all of it any probs give us a shout

Hi John I followed your videos and the result was great.You are right the grout does change overtime due to being outside and build up of residue. After a lot of research I found a product called Pro-Solve sealer. I cleaned the joints and applied to coats to the joints.The results were amazing.The grout now keeps a consistent colour and no residue. I have since applied to the slabs and also amazing results.The patio now looks like new and amazingly has does not have any sheen or wet look. Amazing product but very expensive but worth every penny. I am not an expert but thought it might be helpful. Great projects and great advice!

Why did you use stone chipping (splash strip) between the porcelain slabs and the house? Looking in to this and it recommends to only do this splash strip with a land drain underneath the chipping for water to drain away from the house. Asking for help as I’m not sure whether to do this splash strip or simply take the porcelain slabs right up against the house. Thanks
@GreentopLandscapes
@GreentopLandscapes 3 жыл бұрын
There are a couple of reasons, One that the rain water that comes down the face of the house can be a fair amount if you take in consideration the M2 and that then has to run across your patio along with all the sediment you have some times in rain water, then if you were to grout up to the house the patio can move causing fragmenting cracking basically and will look unsightly. Also since the introduction of SUDS they want the water to go back into the ground and not overload the drainage system

I know it says on the pack that you can't use more than 90ml, but I think it would help a little more to move about with the squeegee. What do you think? and would it make much more difference in colour to what I have already grouted?

Hi mate, Great video. I’ve used easy grout graffito on a porcelain patio. Looked great the start but had a fair bit of efflorescence 3 weeks on. How long do you leave it once into the joints? Do you follow behind and wash straight off, or give it a bit to set then go back and wash? Seen a couple of techniques used. Think i was too heavy on the washing off and water causing the issue.

literally just grouted my newly installed porcelain patio - i wish I had seen this before had, i did it all whilst on hands and knees. I had to race against the pot solidifying as you say - result is overall looks great but a few bits could be better. Would there be anything wrong with making another batch similar to this ^ and re-applying it to the existing joints to fill in any gaps?

I came here to see what the finish SHOULD look like. Yours looks awesome! My man did a nice job laying the porcelain. Then used dark grey easy grout which he bladed in, but then cleaned off with a jet washer not a sponge (I suspect before it had cured enough). The grout levels are uneven/missing in areas, patchy and light grey at best, not solid dark grey as I was expecting. Don't know whether to try to go over each joint with more product or rake it out and start again. Very disappointing considering it was on target to be a very nice job

Its a pity, some planting even a couple of key architectural pieces would look stunning. A couple of Nandina domestica (sacred bamboo) would work well and not require any intervention. Nandina doesn't run like bamboo and is slow growing but a fantastic red and green variegated leaf. A cutleaf maple or two could work potentially as well.

Please use hearing protection when using your blower! I spent 18 months as a motorcycle courier - probably a less noisy environment than being beside your blower - and as a result, I'm now deaf in one ear. These days I wear hearing protection when using any power tool - even my Kartcher power washer.

@GreentopLandscapes 3 жыл бұрын
The discolouration can be through damp joints, the best thing to do now is to seal it then the grout will be the same colour

I am an above average DIY handyman and I can honestly say that this is just about the worst building product I have come across. My builder has very-competently laid a porcelain patio for us but he was pulling his hair out with Easygrout and I foolishly offered to finish the job. The grout becomes sticky and sluggish very quickly but worst of all, it is a nightmare to clean off afterwards. Give me a traditional ‘force into the joint’ grout any day.

Horrendous stuff, bought it to grout my patio and it ruined it. Spoke to the MD who apologised and said it depended on the porosity of the porcelain slabs. I had a beautiful white porcelain tile a number of which are now stained horribly. Proceed with caution this is not as simple or as clean as it seems. Since found a much better black brush in resin which was a dream to use, no mess and no staining - you have been warned!
