Suitable patio grouting?


Recommended Posts

I'm having approx 60sqm of patio put down with the intention of having the limestone the same as the interior limestone but etched to give it a bit more grip.

I'm having brickslot drainage to the threshold of the bifolds and another on the other side of the patio. I have Soakaway all ready piped in ready too.

What kind of branded grout do you recommend for maintenance free as possible finish for 4-5mm? I don't think I would need a porous grout with the drainage in place but I've heard about the brush in or water in grout which is porous but heard some very mixed reviews.

I used the brush in grout (EasyJoint) and it works well, very quick to apply. Bits can come out if heavily pressure washed but I just re-apply in the affected areas and works fine.

 

If you keep any opened bags in the tub under water then it keeps for a long time, however an opened bag will go off very quickly as the solvent evaporates and the resin activates.

Out of curiosity, would you recommend putting some sort of membrane down on the base before laying the patio to stop any weeds and things growing through?

If a patio is built properly, with the ground prepped and then build up with compacted hardcore, and a sand/cement bedding, there should be no weeds getting through anywhere.
