Crackin work again guys
thank you Dareen mate
Cracking job! Them joints look amazing fairplay ;)
Thanks a lot!
Brilliant guy. I wish I had watched your videos before I laid mine Cheers Pete
thanks No worries
Good tips there johnny 👍
Thanks 👍
Nice job Johnny. I am about to use this product on my porcelain patio. Hope it goes well ...
Thanks Lee, tehre are a few ways of putting it in, but just work in small areas mate is my opinion. Keep me posted amigo
Alright John
Thanks for that mate bit worrying to do it for the first time I bet mate .I'll be doing just that on my next project. At least you give an insight of what's needed there looks hard work but worth it .
As usual work looks great again 👍
No worries, hi Justin, no it was easy honest and quick, there are other ways of applying this but I can show this again. be good to touch down.
@@GreentopLandscapes yes thanks John .
If your local to me on your next job let me no and I'll call in the day you grout the next porcelain patio be great to see you and the lads aswell. Some with the Rubi saw which I'm definitely going to buy the same one you have be nice to no the ins and outs of how to use it .
Keep up the great work and appreciate your help with my social media.Im sure I can help you at some point mate 👍
Used this stuff,but with a normal grout float and sponge. What a massive ball ache that was it's a right game to clean up!
It can,be made
Thats why we didnt go down this route. Takes ages to clean up and if it stains then you have to get products to remove it.
Nice
Just like grouting me kitchen walls,well explained Jonny boy looks beltin😷🍻
I tried Anthony, but so tired this week.
@@GreentopLandscapes 😂🤣😂🤣
@@anthonyworthington6495 lol
I can imagine pouring that grout for the first time I would be thinking “what the feck have I done” turned out great 👍
Lmao your dead right, there are different ways to apply but this is quick and easy.
Give tuff top slurry mortar in UK a try. Did my patio 8 years ago with it and it's still rock solid. Also easy to clean off £25/£30 per 25kg bag
Will do Mathew
Great job guys just had porcelain patio laid , nice 5 mm joint looks great 👍🏻 my builders dreading the grouting though 😄 46 m2 if u fancy a job in the lovely Scottish Borders? 👍🏻 cash in hand 🙂
Lmao William, you will have to fly me in lol
Hey loving your videos really helpful. I got Easy joint not Easy Grout. Can I pour rather than dry sweep Easy Joint like you did here?
easy grout for porcelain
Lost of wasted grout there my friend. Great job all the same 👌🏻
Thanks 👍
I was actually thinking the same with the wasted grout, could you not just do it where it belongs or would that take too long or is much more effort?
Just used this on a job, sun popped out hit 30 and omg trying to keep up with it was hard. Yes goes off quick but cleaning the sodding porcelain
after is horrendous. Some have machines now to speed things up. This is as hard as laying the things.
@@inventorant lol 😂
Hi I hope you can find time to answer my questions. I have laid a porcelain patio. My grouting leaves a lot to be desired. It's a bit patchy and uneven coloured due to my son's random mixing. Can I mix a slurry with neet cement , or use a product like easy joint to go over the top. Also can I coat the slabs with SBR to bring out the colour and shine I love that stuff ! Many thanks Pete
give me a call mate
Great video as usual, thanks for posting! Attempting my patio at the moment and its going well. For the final step I will be using easyjoint. It recommends using it within 4 hours of laying, however, that wont be possible as it will take me a few days to lay all the porcelain tiles. I can see you are doing it at the end just like I will, are there any issues with using it later? Also, is it okay the patio getting wet when not grouted as water can get underneath and freeze in winter? Just want to make sure I am doing the right thing :)
Thanks!
Give me a call you dont want to be using Easyjoint on Porcelain
@@GreentopLandscapes when shall I call you? Is now too early?
I do a live podcast this morning buddy but try after 12?
Wonderful job the Easy grout? Does it come in different colours? Thanks again
Yes it does!
Do you have to use the pedalo system as its really expensive to buy, i already have a washboy kit.
Can i wash the excess off with a hose pipe after and use a soft brush to clean the surface?
You don't have to a normal washboy is fine
great video used the easy grout but the
some of the grout lines are soft and have fallen through .any ideas what might have caused it
Could be that there were a few voids underneath mate
Hi Johnny boy please can you tell me how long I need to waite for grout to go off before I start to clean off ? I've tried one small section and it killed my knees and wrists so had to splash out on a ramondi padlo ,only place I could get that from was Belfast my god they expensive for one job lol
I know they are Nidge mate, you could of got a normal wash boy from Top tiles
Do you have any videos where you’ve used light grey grout? I’ve just laid my first patio and think dark grey might be too dark
Hi Sam the thing is even the light grey goes dark in the wet
Great video, I’m looking to grout my porcelain slabs next week! I love the colour in this, Is this the dark grey? Where do you get easy grout from as I can only find easy joint locally.
Hi Jake got to the AZPECTS website and check out for a local supplier
@@GreentopLandscapes thanks a lot! Can you remember if this is the dark grey grout in this video?
Light power hose instead of sponge far more efficient.. Great job..
Thanks for the tip! dont want to dilute it to much
Hi Johnyboy, A pure dead brilliant video for DIYers like me 👍.
In your video 17th December 2019 (Pointing a Porcelain Patio with Easy Grout) you used a 7mm joint as you just wanted the grout to get down into the joint and you were concerned that if you were to use a 5mm joint the grout wouldn’t.
This time round you used a 4mm joint.
After more experience and knowledge gained using Azpects Easy Grout, what size would you now recommend when using it?
Hi Davie, thanks for your feed back, its really appreciated mate/ I am using a 4mm joint now wth Porcelain as its much sleeker and neater and proportionate, and the grout still gets down in the joint and if I needed to cut the joint out for any reason I would be able to. Hope this helps mate as a starting point.
@@GreentopLandscapes Hi Johnyboy, Thanks for your reply. It certainly does help and is very much appreciated. Davie
We've just had our porcelain done with this but the gardener missed a few bits and some of the colour doesn't look as consistent. There also seems to be some excessive staining - is there a way to get it off - I haven't tried jet washing as was told best not to
Oh no! sorry to hear that, its difficult to say with out seeing it.
Hi John,
Is it important to use a non permeable grout with porcelain slabs such as easy grout over something permeable like easy joint? Cheers Billy
non permeable Billy mate
Great vid . Can i ask how many bags did you use on that patio . Thanks
Just depends on grout joint widths etc more than happy to talk you through it if you want to call.
I understand that but how tubs of grout . My patio is 4 mts x 11 mts with a 7mm joint at 10 mm deep . Just trying to work out how many .Thanks
Hi Johnnyboy - Haave yu ever used a product called Geo-Fix All Weather for grouting porcelain patios? - Thanks and keep up the great work.
Hi Andy mate to be honest I have not mate
I used the dark grey product.and next day the grout dried and some areas have dark grout and others very light like foggy.i don't know what's my mistake .they were supposed to be dark. I follow the instructions.maybe my sponge has water and these cause it? I need your help
Maybe the sponge to wet Dimitrios mate, just got avoid added moisture mate
Hi johnny would you recommend sealing the grout afterwards?
Hi Matty, thats a great point , Porcelain can be sealed.
@@GreentopLandscapes sealed with what?
Where did you get your sqeegee from? Mine fell apart after 10 minutes, so think I need an upgrade 🤣
Tilers tools
Hi mate what would you use if there was a 10mm space grout or brush in stuff cheers
Hi Dean, Honestly mate no. I am at 4mm
@@GreentopLandscapes i had to go 10 mm spacing for the pattern to match but not sure what to finish it with and think i would use alot of grout
@@deanrutherford6029 i would use a patio resin if i had 10mm spacing.
My clients specified 5mm joints so i have to use this stuff unfortunately 😕
How do you grout porcelain doing the winter if you rely on 5 degrees Celsius for 24hours after applying 🤷♂️
I use the Rapid set and it never fails
@@GreentopLandscapes rapid set mapei? Or rapid set easy grout?
Great video. I will be grouting a porcelain patio in a few days. I'm just a DIYer and am happy to take my time to get the job done. What are your view on the quality of Easygrout vs products applied with a trowel like Ultracolour plus on a patio with 7mm joints? Also, what are your views on using a device like a funnel or oven baster to direct the product into the joints to try and avoid the product spreading over the whole patio to make the clean up easier with less risk of product drying on the tiles. Have you any experience of product drying on the tiles and how easy is it to remove? Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi there thanks for watching appreciate your comments, Easy grout is very good I think there are lots out there that are good but the biggest problem is how people clean the surface they just get it to wet.
Great job, I watched your videos before I attempted laying my porcelain and they really helped, I wish I'd seen this before I grouted aswell! Just a quick question , do the flags on this video have a ruff feel to them like sandpaper or are they smooth? Mine are ruff and the grout seemed to stick like shit, all came good in the end thow with a sponge and elbow grease
Hi Chris mate thanks for watching I just hope from these Videos we can all learn, The paving was smooth biu there is lots of Porcelain with a mat finish which I don't like, but you done well it seems its about the elbow grease lol take care mate and be safe.
@@GreentopLandscapes yeah it all turned out well in the end thanks, im going to be doing my friends with the same ruff textured porcelain , do you think I could use the method in your video to grout these?
@@chrisporter55 You can mate just reduce the area you do at a time.
@@GreentopLandscapes thanks for your advice, much appreciated 👍
@@chrisporter55 My Pleasure Chris mate
Looks great! Why did you use Easy Grout rather than Easy Joint?
Its a Porcelain Grout Neale, Easy Joint is for a porous bed
@@GreentopLandscapes we have used Easy Joint on porcelain and its on a dry mix bed adhered to with a slurry. Its solid. We have done this before with no problems. But just asking your advice was this the correct method? We have used mapei grouts before and it was always a really messy process which took 10 times as long than Easy Joint.
EasyJoint does say its suitable for Porcelian on the Azpects website 🤔 it does advise a 6:1 bed allowing it to be permeable.! EasyJoint doesn't like sitting in water.! I would imagine that if your using the correct bed mix & your laying your patio with a gradual fall away, to allow the water to run off the surface and not sit or pool on top i.e. the correct way, then you shouldn't have any issues with EasyJoint at all..!! 100 times easier and faster than using this messy slurry.!
I use easy joint 👍
How do you stop it running off out the edges of the picture frame tiles?
You can use mastic tape and a few other things come to mind
@@GreentopLandscapes Thanks, giving it a go in a week or so. Half way through laying my own patio, your videos have been so helpful!
Good luck Buddy
How can I order some of the slurry grout EasyGrout?
Hi Lisa go to the AZPECTS website for a supplier
What do you guys use to clean off the excess? Just water? It seems a nightmare to wash off the excess on the one we laying atm!
Clean as we go mate then in a few days a very light power wash, thats it
Greentop Landscapes & Design thanks! Wish you guys could come and grout my tiles
@@sanjiviyapah8908 sorry to hear that Sanjiv mate, where abouts are you?
Greentop Landscapes & Design In based in Hertfordshire
@@sanjiviyapah8908 look if you need to talk give me a call later mate if you want.
Are the slabs rough or smooth
a little mat finish
How long does it take to fully set to rock hard?
Mine seems very slightly soft 24 hours later
i would just wait
@@GreentopLandscapes cheers mate. 48 hours later it’s rock hard. Looks lovely. Bit of residue but that Azpects residue cleaner sorted that.
Wouldn't it be easier if it came in round containers especially for mixing.
Good Idea
Did anyone else get a fright at 4.00
Me to
Another advert for Easy this Easy that for Azpect
is it so wrong to endorse a product that you like, this chanell is an advert for TH-cam is it not, my video is an advert for my work.
Simon, what grouting product would you endorse for use with Bradstone's Tatra Vitrified Porcelain slabs?
@@daviearthur2518 Depends on your experience, patio use and base layer re drainage
@@GreentopLandscapes No, but you mention it so many times. Just a comment, it's your channel!
@@daviearthur2518 Also forgot to mention colour and gap size
Is easy grout the same as easy joint
Easy joint is air cured grout. Easy grout is slurry mortar. Any air cured grout is not good, ants and weeds love it after a year or so. Also air cured grouts allow water through the joint so it goes black very quickly. Any form of slurry mortar is far superior to these air cured grouts.
No Azpects Easy Joint is the brush in one that is much more easier to work with and just as effective. Easy Joint takes a quarter of the time and is much easier and cleaner to work with. We used Easy Joint on 40 square metres of Porcelain so thats how i know.
@@matthewdaniels2450 Easy Joint is just as effective, and Greentops has recommended it in the past. We used a heavy duty weed membrane, then a sub base 100mm wackered Mot type 1, then laid the slaps using a dry mix with slurry primer under the slaps. There is no chance weeds would come through that. Then we used Easy Joint to finish off. If the membrane + sub base + method laying arent altogether done properly thats when you get weeds. The jointing compounds / grouts sole purpose isnt to stop weeds.
@@jasbindersingh1936 easy joint is permeable - and not to be used with porcelain - easy grout is not permeable so thats why its used on porcelain products - you are in the wrong here! Just used Marshalls symphony which is a brush in product for porcelain and ita a fantastic product - quick to use and is NOT permeable - although its £80 per tub the time saved on clean up it pays for itself.
@@MARTINWHITELAW Azpects has been used the world over and is very popular because it works. The Azpects site states:
Can EASYJoint be used with Porcelain tiles?
Yes you can use our jointing compound with porcelain tiles, in fact some specialist suppliers only recommend EASYJoint for jointing them! You must follow the instructions carefully when using porcelain tiles and depending on whether they are for indoor or outdoor use, be careful what bedding mix they are laid on. Porcelain is impermeable (it will not allow water to pass through it) so follow our instructions for use with porcelain tiles. If using the wet method ensure that the bedding mix is permeable and made up from a mix no stronger of 6 parts sharp sand to one cement. To ensure a strong joint that will last for years the depth of the joint should be at least 20mm deep, ideally 25mm. The width of the joint can be as little as 3mm wide.
Joint to tile ratio is against you with these patios, lots of washing off to do for a small number of joints. Wonder if more efficient to just work it into the joints, maybe not always worth considering.
You can do mate.. I have before
Why don't people just pour it over the gaps and brush close to the gaps rather than the whole tile?
That gravel board is collecting air miles.
lol,
No old fashioned sponging??
o yes plenty of that I can Assure you
@@GreentopLandscapes great lets see some soon.
