What is the name of the tiles installed in this video

You went to all that trouble and didnt use any geo textile under your crush before compacting!!!probably one of the most important stages in the job and you didnt do it!!😅

What is the obsession with porcelain outside....

Hi, I'm in the north east - please can you recommend a good business who can do my patio? It's so worrying trying to find people who aren't cowboys when you are paying out such a lot of money

thanks very much for uploading

If I’m cutting plank porcelain tile do I need to do this many passes or can I just cut through it in two passes? I’m not a professional and it’s a small 10ft bedroom so I won’t need to make many cuts.

Uh oh my American brain is having to calculate from meters 🤯

This is a great clear how to video. Just question. I've seen a lot of people say you need a membrane between the ground and MOT. Is this true?

Finally a straight forward video on how to cut porcelain with an angle grinder. What Blade do you recommend for a small project?

Is it the same for an Indian stone slab?

Ive seen other videos with 50mm subbase

Very well explained thank you so much. This will be a great help.

What about membrane

My daughter had a porcelain patio fitted last week. It's awful. I don't think they used spacers because all the gaps are different. Some tiles have been cut too short and the gaps filled with cement. Can this mess be rectified? It was not cheap!

Beautiful work! How do we deal with draining system?

This is exactly what I want & need for my flats, thanks

Thanks for this. Very helpful. i understand there has to be a slope for drainage. Hence the slope between the pegs. But why then does the string between the pegs have to be horizontal? Surely that has to have a slope aswell?

Just to confirm 100mm substrate or ballast followed by 40mm sand then the width of the slab… Is the width of the slab standard & how mm is it?

Bollocks stihl saw to much vibration chips it every time. Need little electric grinder with good quality thin disc score it first then get some 1 to lightly stray it as you cut it

Sorry using a stihl saw will not give you a nice straight clean cut. To much vibration wet cutter or 4-5" grinder with a proper thin cutting disc and get someone to lightly spray it with water and then sanding disc to buff the edge

Yes you can use water we use a little spray water bottle and get some 1 to gentle spray as I cut

Check out the porcelain blade,,,,thin diamond blade with holes to allow it to cool

Slippery as hell when wet

How long did this whole job take?

You did a fab job right up to the point you used point fix....could you have not pointed properly

Do you need a geo grid if building a patio on an already made and set raised level? We are adding a patio to an area that has a geo grid shed base already installed

Os this better thank.sika sand done my garden 2 years ago and it's all coming out so need to.clear all joints and re point

Great if you have half hour per cut spare and happy with an aching back. Best wasy is to score the line with a 115mm grinder, then just simply push it through my £1800 water cutter 😅😅😅

Get video! Wish all diy videos be this good! Thanks

Brilliant video 👍👍👍

Dose the damp proof course applies for the Caribbean

Would not fly in a Canadian climate

Of all the dozens of videos I’ve watched to get a bank of knowledge on how to do this, this has to be the most explained, most informative and easy to follow video. Well done chaps.

What spirit level is this please. I have been searching for ages but can’t find one with those fall off lines on

Good clear demo

If the slab was 40mm thick would it be a good idea with a 4 “ grinder and the appropriate blade cut both sides evenly ? I have a rare slab broke one and need to cut a 20mm sliver off slab is 2 ft x 2 ft…

👍👍👍👍

Brilliant video, Thank you for making this so easy to understand. Im feeling much more confident about doing this myself now.

Does anybody use Terram on sub-base ?

You have serious accent that confuses 'uff' and 'ut' sounds with 'off' and 'ot' sound. It kind of annoys me. Good video.

My garden is very similar to the one in the video and I would like to have the same type of paving. Is planning permission required for this? Thank you

Best instructional video on this topic I have seen- thanks

Great video. How do you calculate the required amount of cement and sharp sand required for the desired area? Thanks

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone knew the rough cost of the work done on this video? My patio is about 30 square metres. Thanks

For a small 4x5m base I apparently need 12 x 1 ton bags of MOT Type 1. Inc delivery, that would be around £1000 quid. I’d need to shovel and wheelbarrow it around the back too (ugh!). Then I’d need to buy around 20 bags of pebble gravel, which would set me back around £2000 quid. Turns out it’s cheaper to just slabs on top of soil, or buy decking. All I wanted was a little gravel patio next to my old cedar shed. Building materials prices are absurd.

Should not ruffle up the bed, the tile needs a smooth flat bed for full contact

You shouldn't rough up the bed on porcelain. They need a full flat bed of mortar. Water will get under it, freeze in winter and then expand which will lift the slab. Get the mortar down and smooth it out with a good layer of slurry on the slab otherwise most of the slurry you put on is pointless.

Excellent video.

What do you do if you’re laying slabs on concrete?

Loved the tutorial, but the final design, in my opinion is bad. Fake grass, not for me. Too much paving on the side for my liking.
