PORCELAIN PATIO FROM START TO FINISH

[@AutomotiveRush]

The work around the pipes is what I found most impressive with this. A lot of builders don't pay attention to bits like this and it ruins the overall look. Top work lads

[@monkyspnk777]

It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve seen a craftsman build this week, just gorgeous.

Hi Del much appreciated all the best Tony 👍

[@matt291183]

Just done this job as a DIYer, hardest part by far is getting the bedding mix just the right height before laying the tile, otherwise you're picking it back up and putting down more or hammering for ages with the mallet. Takes some skill and experience to get that one right!

[@rickiodonovan9403]

dont worry buddy happens I didnt get them perfect every time.

[@rossmale8715]

Cut a piece of ply the exact same size to put down first to get the bed right, saves the heavy back and forth

[@richwallwin]

Don’t use resin jointing compounds unless your beds are 6-1 or weaker. They’re designed to be permeable and you’ll get water trapped in joint and they’ll go black with algae. Look up flowpoint or something of the same style, it’s liquid cement grout have to work fast but it’s the best jointing material out there, you can pressure wash the patio without fear of blowing your joints out.

[@ricky18171]

Easy grout instead of Easy joint is a good alternative too. I only use joint on concrete or sandstone.

[@JackZapper]

Hi guys, doing my own garden patio first time. 900 x 600 porcelain tiles How do I know what mix sand cement to use ? I hear different ratios like 4:1 and 6:1 Also what size joints are best ? What grout product is best ? For cream porcelain what color grout would you use also ? Sorry alot questions there

[@briansutherland5414]

You laid it straight on type one interesting ta brian 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I floor screed the area then tile them on an 8mm trowel bed .butter the slab with sbr and cement the same i lay them on and you'll need a breaker to separate them .

Good job

[@spatel3783]

this is dope

[@michaelhammond9996]

Another quality video I wouldn't use easy joint you should use joint it a far more superior brush in compound with a higher resin content

[@syiar89]

So is the sub base the same as it would be for normal concrete flags? Around 100mm of Type 1 compacted?

[@connormcleod02]

Just curious - A&Es opinion on pedestal systems for porcelain patios? Very popular in hotels and other commercial applications - what about use in domestic?

Amazing work guys looking to get something like this done myself just wondering what make and name of tile used on this Build?

[@Entrepreneurusa]

Very nice , I am trying to do this here in Florida USA and everyone is telling me it’s wrong you need a concrete base first lol 😂 don’t know why it’s so complicated here , any advise please the ground is compacted dirt with pea rocks and some crushed clay pieces

[@d4nnyth3dog]

Great job, question regarding the primer, I was told awhile ago that mixing cement with SBR is a very good alternative to priming slurry, would you say this is right?

[@Oli_Hudson]

Yep

[@TurinTuramber]

I use cement and SBR to prime natural stone.

[@amac1657]

Hi guys looking amazing. Having a porcelain patio done and was planning on using azpects jointing compound. But having spoken with azpects technical team they said for it to work you need to lay on a 6-1 mix if grouting with this as 4-1 is not suitable as it will hold water. Have you guys found this to be the case? Thanks

[@bobmartin5101]

I got quoted 7k to pull my 35sqm decking up and put porcelain down....I am tempted to do it myself, but i know how difficult it can be....great job as always guys.

[@andrewdeaville6442]

Was that just labour cost?

[@MistaJayLJ]

I just priced one up at £5k to rip old patio up n relay at 40sqm, materials and labour

[@lmilne4859]

Depends on the grade and quality of the tile remember some lower prices could be down to poor quality materials and cutting corners. Porcelain seriously ranges in price and quality. Always a use primer epoxy grout like Flowpoint marshal’s or easy grout mapie Fugabella anything like that brush grouts are the wrong way to go n tiles. Hold water they will pop the tiles in time high chance losing the seal. As these brush material 1,s absorb water.

[@joefowler9600]

@@MistaJayLJ way to cheap to do a proper job

[@jimmyboimazarti1234]

@@MistaJayLJ 40 square meters ? What’s point charging that might aswell not do it ?

[@summergram]

Good tips, but note to self: (1) Need to prep the ground much more, with a whacker to compress it. (2) Also need to ensure the level / slope of the patio drains away from the house. Otherwise good techniques, I would use max 3mm spacings between porcelain

[@fireflame6577]

tiles gonna break to much space available under it if you check 3:15 timeline

[@SteveDavies80]

What mortar mix is used.

[@Gary-iy4oh]

What sub based have u used before laying yr mortar

[@SuccessShared]

Brilliant! When can you do mine? I've been trying all summer to get our terrace done. Tradespeople don't answer their phones, emails, keep appointments, respond to voicemail, supply quotes, keep their word etc etc. Instead I'm looking at videos like this because it looks like I'll have to do it myself! The industry is a disaster.....

[@philstation335]

Absolutely fantastic job how many bags or tubs of that easy joint compound did u use for that size patio

How did you clean the tiles up after finishing? They look great when wet but if they dry up you see every little spot on the slabs

Looks great, surprised you used easyjoint instead of easygrout

[@adammandale6257]

How did you install the lights on the step

[@wayneleone]

Looks great. Could you just use a slurry of cement/water as a bonding agent or is that product stronger?

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Wayne it’s a good question because cement has pretty much the same ingredients except the set time additives which might make difference we should ask the tech guys of the primer company all the best Tony 👍

Which slabs are these pls

Hey guys great vid as always......would you recommend a slurry bond for concrete paver types or just natural or more specialist style paving stones? Any thoughts/tips greatly appreciated.

Hi Smidgey88 it’s always a fine line between getting it to wet or then to stiff, but it would of pushed material down and nothing come loose but totally take on board your comment all the best Tony 👍

[@Simonsimps]

@@BuildWithAE Better too stiff as when it's too wet when you knock down the slab it pushes the adjacent slab up, this does not happen with a slightly stiffer mix. like you say, it's a fine line. Great video, thank you.

Should be using an outdoor grout.easy joint is not suitable if the laying bed is stronger than 6 to 1 which it should be for porcelain

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Chris technical data sheet all the best Tony 👍 EASYGrout is a high-quality slurry grout for use on porcelain. EASYGrout mixes readily with water to give a highly flowable joint filling and grouting mortar ideal for use on porcelain floor surfaces where a high early strength, resilient, compact grout joint is needed, particularly in areas subject to early and sustained trafficking. It is available in three colours and is suitable for grouting joints internally and externally around porcelain tiling and paving slabs, filling joints from 5mm up to 25mm wide with a minimum joint depth of 20mm.

[@chrisbedford5793]

Hi Tony You used easy joint not easy grout?easy joint is permeable so not suitable for anything layed on a stronger than 6 to 1 bed,it will run off the paving and travel through the easy joint and not be able to travel through the laying bed. Chris

[@BuildWithAE]

@@chrisbedford5793 Hi Chris I will check this out again thanks for the info All the best Tony 👍

[@chrisbedford5793]

I am not trying to be negative about your work as its very good,we are a small lanscaping firm and have done alot of researching the best products and a non permeable joint is a must for us with all porcelain.try fugapave grout its outstanding. Chris

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Chris every day is a school day but Just found this on there website I will double check tomorrow with there tech guys but it is suitable as I’am reading the technical data sheet The same rules apply when working with porcelain paving tiles as with working with stone or concrete. The base on which the porcelain is laid MUST BE PERMEABLE. In terms of application, there is not so much need to use copious quantities of water with porcelain as the EASYJoint will not cause it to mark in the same way it can with stone or concrete. However, users will find that a small amount of water to form it into a slurry, will make it easier for the operator to fill the joints properly. I will let you know tomorrow once I have spoken to them all the best Tony 👍
