Good demo. checked the price and coverage, if the coverage is correct and it's a quick installation it looks a good product. How many M2 do you think one man could grout per hour? How long does it take to cure?👍👍
On this job joints are 10mm ish x 25mm, I reckon it's around 10m2 per bag. On porcelain, or swan stone joints, around 5/6mm you'll get more like 15m2 per bag. I can do circa 30m2 a day on my own with 10mm joints, obviously if it's 5/6mm joints you will get more like 45m2.... there is downtime in-between each batch whilst you clean out washboys etc I find by the time I've done half a bag it's starting to firm up, about 30 minutes...bit more bit less on hot or cold days
Cheers fella. Im planning to trial this on a job. Looks a good product. Used flowpoint but its a fickle product and messy. Used vdw850 but way to expensive. Latest was fugabella but been having problems with effervescence. Rep thinks its to do with moisture coming up from base and mortar drying out. They recommend 60days dry time before grouting!! You had any issues with the fugapave?
I've had no issues with the fugapave, other than a normal bit of haze which easily cleans off the next day. I can see the sense in what the fugabella rep has said....that's more to do with your mortar bed. For me personally, I use a semi dry mix for laying in order to mitigate issues such as efflorescence and reflective staining. I've got a video coming out soon that goes into that in more detail...like and subscribe so you don't miss it!! I'm glad this video has helped you, give it a go...you won't be disappointed 🤠
I used this today off the back of your videos and another channel. I`m really impressed with it & its sets quick and rock solid. Like you say I take my time as a DIYer doing a 1sq then ensure the area is cleaned well. Can I ask what would you use for a Haze remove as a couple that were in the sun dried quick and there is a slight haze.
Great to hear! For haze cleaning, it depends on the stone you have laid. My go to product is HR stone guard future clean. It's a non acid based cleaner, lithofin also have a similar product. Both companies also do a haze cleaner which is fine for most stone expect Limestone
I have done it with a mortar gun....the consistency is great for going through it, don't knock up anymore than quarter of a bag, otherwise it's gets too stiff by he time you clean and load the gun back up. It is quicker to get it in the joint, but by the time you clean up the gun in between batches, and then strike the joint and clean that up, it doesn't really save much time in my experience. The end result was identical. That could be because I'm not really well versed with using a gun, you may have a better technique and could be quicker. It's definitely not a daft idea, give it a go and let me know how you get on
Fantastic video! We are glad you are enjoying the FUGA-PAVE grout! 🙌🏼
Thank you!
Nice one Jon 👍🏻
Thanks David, glad it was helpful 🤠

@@PavedinStoneLtd I've laid a porcelain slab, natural stone finish.
@@coops23beaver cool. Then you I'll be fine to use a haze remover from other company, both work really well
Helpful video. The slabs look wet, do you have to mist them before grouting?
Sorry I missed this comment. Better late than never....yes, get the slab wet, but no water sat in the joints
@PavedinStoneLtd it's cool Thank you. I've since used this product with great results. 👍
Where do you buy this from?
@@paulhoward6629 there's a few places where you can buy it online, we normally order with Tilers tools or the paving experts
You think this would work well in a grout gun?

What paving is that ??
Do you like it?
This is a limestone, depends where buy it as to what they call it.....rippled yellow, rustic ochre, antique etc
@@PavedinStoneLtd yeah, really nice. Could the fuga pave ch be used with indian stone? Or is the texture too rough?
Thanks
@joefowler9600 yeh, fine to use on riven sandstone 👌
