How To Lay A Porcelain Patio

[@mattpratt4458]

Is that pretty much a mix per 600x600 slab ? 😮

[@tilerman]

Look's amazing, well done guy's. I personally don't tile patio's but have been tiling floor's for coming up to 35 years. It's proper hard work and takes a massive toll on our bodies. How you lay those tiles standing up amazes me. The problem i have is i'm 6' 4" and the floor is a long way down so have to be on my knee's. Up and down all day long and my knee's are shot. Take care of your body chaps. Keep up the good work. Subscribed.

[@Brockstonepavingpros]

Hello mate, thank you for watching and subscribing! Means a lot. All good up to now, I’m 44 and been doing it near 30 years. That’s my preferred way, I don’t like being on my knees but for tiling yes I suppose it’s the best/only way. Take care mate! Thanks again

A1 workmanship, your very lucky to have 2 great skilled lads with you

[@amyfrankie100]

Buy yourself a grabo I've been using them for 3 years now bought them in America. Its fairly easy to lay that metrage a day of one size and a good laborour helps. 35 years in the game learning all the time brother you will never stop I've seen alot of changes over the years and even more cowerboys. Keep up the goog work

[@Brockstonepavingpros]

Haha I’m not a fan. Are you’re saying a Grabo makes you lay faster? I don’t agree. By the time your Grabo has gained the suction, I’ve picked it up, my flag is on the deck. Thanks for watching 👍

[@darrenwatters3054]

Mate totally agree, but brought one for the cuts against wall where your fingers get trapped, slurry all over the tile, game changer I'm telling ya, also been using flowpoint on porcelain for years , never really happy with finished results, always few mill below tile level , because they don't soak water, lays on top even a fine spray seems to water the grout down, how you getting on with the fuga, what's the waiting times for clean off and weather conditions for using it , not licking here but top landscaper best in pool, but I'm best in Birmingham 😁

[@Brockstonepavingpros]

@@darrenwatters3054 yes mate, can’t beat it for setts or natural stone paving with a tight joint. Love the Fugabella as it cleans off so easily, slow setting time on the surface. Finish and colour range is next level. Haha good man 👍👍 thanks mate.

Hahaha no there’s an offer you don’t get everyday!

[@myatix1]

I was wondering! If you lay sandstone in really cold climates (-6 to -12) I have hear issues of people getting frost heave due to expansion and contraction. What would you recommend we bed 900x29x3cm tiles on? Do you think a 150mm mot type 1 base is enough, with 50mm of muck? The Vickings over hear tend to lay their patios on a 30mm sharp sand base so it can move? What do you think would be the best solution based on your experience? Cheers mate! Keep up the great work!

[@Brockstonepavingpros]

@@myatix1 to be perfectly honest Alan I can’t answer that coz it’s a problem I’ve never had to consider. It rarely gets bellow -6 degrees here never mind -12! I think the Americans lay a lot of paving on sand for the same reason. A flexible bed could better in those conditions.

Hi you mentioned in another reply that you used fugabella grout is this better for porcelain than Marshall’s exterior grout or easy grout, and do you use it like a slurry? Great work by the way 👍

Hi mate, that’s my preference for porcelain yes. I like Flowpoint and the Marshall’s equivalent but id only use on setts really. The finish and colour range of grout is more suited to porcelain, put it this way it’s what I’d use if it was on my house 👍

[@Brockstonepavingpros]

@@XRazorShiftyX yes mate. When flagging you want to be level in one direction ideally, nearly always across the house so it looks right on the brickwork, falling away from the house if the garden falls away, then back to house if not and a lineal drain (there are exceptions to that though) You can lay to two falls but you may see slight lips where they meet. The larger the unit, the harder it is to do.

This may sound like a silly question but where does the water go to if it slopes away from the house, I thought it would be best if it ran towards the drainage around the edge of the house ? 🤔

[@Brockstonepavingpros]

Not a silly question at all. Ideally you’ll fall away from the house if the lie of land is in your favour. The grass will take water and that has a slight fall away too, so in theory everything is moving away into the borders and into to the ground below.

Great job. Why don't you use a line 😮

[@Brockstonepavingpros]

Cheers. I do sometimes, if the flag is nice & flat /true then I’ll usually just level. The line takes a bit of faffin and you have to make sure it’s very taut on long runs. I’ll use a line on convex or undulating flags as you can lose the level 👍
