10-Minute Guide Porcelain Patio
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Sure, here's a quick 10-minute guide to installing a porcelain patio:
1. Plan and measure: Before you start installing your porcelain patio, make sure you have a clear plan and accurate measurements. This will help you determine the amount of materials you need and ensure that your patio is the right size and shape.
2. Prepare the area: Before you start laying your patio, you need to prepare the area. This involves removing any grass, weeds, or debris, and leveling the ground. You may also need to add a layer of gravel or sand to create a stable base.
3. Lay the patio: Once the area is prepared, you can start laying your porcelain patio. Start at one corner and work your way out, laying each piece of porcelain in a straight line. Use a level to ensure that each piece is even and flat.
4. Cut and shape the porcelain: Depending on the shape of your patio, you may need to cut and shape some of the porcelain to fit. Use a saw or chisel to make precise cuts, and wear protective gear to avoid injury.
5. Fill the gaps: Once your patio is laid, you may need to fill in the gaps between the porcelain. This can be done with sand or gravel, which will help to stabilize the patio and prevent weeds from growing.
6. Add finishing touches: Finally, add any finishing touches to your patio, such as edging or decorative elements. This will help to give your patio a polished and professional look.
Remember, installing a porcelain patio can be a challenging and time-consuming project, so don't be afraid to ask for help or hire a professional if you need it. With the right materials and techniques, you can create a beautiful and functional outdoor space that you'll enjoy for years to come
Ive saved so many of your videos...massive help for a DIYer like me. You've helped me build a concrete block wall, steps, lay hardcore, sand and how to level, do string lines, do falls. Genuinely couldn't have done what i have without you... :-)
I really enjoy reading messages like this just goes to show a little help goes along way 👍🏴
I really liked "fannying" it around.....
Best thing about this video for me is your use of the word "dollop" my wife has been relentlessly telling me it's not a word for years! Ps excellent video too of course :)
Can’t beat the word dollop especially if you want a dollop of custard on your tart 👍🏴
Sorry Mrs Mills, its definitely proper grammer 🤷♂️
It's definitely a word....
😂😂😂
Being a bricklayer past 15 years all my work is patios and drive ways now much more thinking involved never boring. Thanks for the video
There is more fun doing landscaping and laying bricks that’s for sure you can design more doing this type of stuff 👍🏴
I’ve been caught up binge watching so many of your awesome videos 😭🙌🏽
Your work is incredible and consistent. This patio looked very locked in! 💪🏽
I am familiar with tiling bathrooms and mainly indoors, and this fascinates me so much. Love those spin-doctor spacer clips!
Thank you so much!! Glad you liked it 👍🏴
Excellent patio looks fantastic, do you just use cement and primer when doing the steps vertically?
Yes every time that primer sticks anything together 👍🏴
I’ve just finished putting in my porcelain paving patio and it looks absolutely fantastic. Watched loads of your videos and it made it so much easier. From the sub base depth to the slurry primer, all the information helped massively! Thanks a lot. Now I just need to figure out the grouting!
Thanks Mike I glad you find the videos informational as for the grouting that truly is the most difficult part because if you use the stuff I use And mess it up then your screwed. Depends how confident you feel with the slurry grout. 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping yeah thats the part that i’m not too keen on. Would you recommend any normal brush in grouting?
Looking back, that last square tile at 9:00
Would you have cut that one tile just to take that line from the edging, back to the steps. Or was the design idea so when you are at the top step of the steps you can step forwards or right?
Basically I was following the line of the retaining wall as a reference, hopefully that’s what you mean 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping Yeah that line following the retaining wall, I was asking why didn't you carry that line across the one mostly square tile in the frame. Its like theres a 8inch edging strip all the way around indicating the edge of the patio, but not for the top 2 steps there.

Everywhere they are 👍🏴
What was it you layed over existing tiles was it stone dust?
Yeh stone dust with some cement dust mixed in and whacked 👍🏴 the base under the tiles was good still
What was the name of the tile? Slaterock bone tile?
Can’t remember but they were from London stone 👍🏴
Nice! What kind of concrete of cement you used?
Sharp sand mix 4/1 cement hope that helps 👍🏴
Hi.
Have you used a 3mm or 5mm gap. Thanks.
5mm with porcelain and 10mm with stone never used 3mm 👍🏴
Quite different than we would do, but I love it. Great work.
Thanks tilebarlab glad you still liked it anyways 👍🏴
One question Sir , how many tiles you can put in with one 20kg bag of cement ? 4:1 ?
About 2m2 worth I’d say 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping thank you
Can you lay them on existing concrete?
Yeh no problem can actually be better just make sure to clean it first and prime the concrete with slurry primer 👍🏴
How high the string line to the ground
All depends on the height you want or normally 150mm below damp proof course of your house 👍🏴
What did you use to cover over the old slabs before you tiled?
Stone dust and cement then rake it in slightly wet then whacked hard as nails 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping thanks. What's the ratio?
Learned a lot from your video. I have concrete slab considering putting porcelain tile on. Slab is 10cm thick and in good condition but can't add any additional height. Is it feasible/advisable to grind down slab about 1.5 cm to make room for tile and thinset?
Ohhh that sucks best get a good dust mask 😷👍🏴
Do you work in west Sussex
No im in Cardiff and retired from the business but still do things in landscaping but no taking in any more work sorry 👍🏴
I've got a customer who wants me to lay 20mm thick porcelain floor tiles around her existing concrete patio/paths. She has a couple of existing rodding eye plates for her drains in her paths which I'll need to leave access to. Can you tell me where you got your access covers from. Can they accomodate 20mm tiles? regards Gary
Here’s where I got the recessed manhole covers from
ebpbuilding.com/
I had a rodding eye to cut around on this project too 👍🏴
ruclips.net/video/lPnS59UHcMQ/видео.html
what is the lowest temperature that still permits you to lay your tile down
Must be 3 degrees and rising you can put Hessian over the patio over night also hope that helps 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping yup, might need this for this winter season. Research helps a ton.
Hi what size of tile is this thanks
I think they were 600x600 from Londonstone 👍🏴
I remember watching a full length version of this video. Another brilliant job! As always, the devil is in the detail
Could you do a detailed video of cutting in the tiles for the Manhole covers maybe in real time. There are a lot of cuts usually and can be a mornings work. Another issue I find is that you are restricted to what the client wants and sometimes you know that you could make a better end result if they were willing to spend a bit more. For instance, the steps and retaining wall could be brought up to date with a modern look instead of having to cut your tiles to fit the old retaining wall. But you did an excellent job with the existing finishes that you had to work with. Always a pleasure to watch.
Thanks for watching Keith and commenting much appreciated as always, next time I’m cutting round manhole I’ll try remember to film it otherwise I did this a while back 👍🏴

I currently have tiles in my porch they are all very old and start cracking. I am located in Canada and the porch has a roof but it is outdoors. I would like to ask If it is better to remove the tiles and replace for tiles or I should try to apply concrete on it.Any advise would be appreciated
You could possibly just tile over it depends on how bad the crack is. Tiling over is a quicker fix as it’s only foot traffic👍🏴
Hard on the back that !! I know too well
Yeh mines buggered already 🤕 👍🏴
No pain,no gain
How do I calculate my fall you say 1 meter 100cm drop by 10mm. My patio 160 wide and 400cm length. Do I measure the flag 10mm down??
Just go by the spirit level bubble it must be just past the line then it’s the same 👍🏴
£20 note for a tingle? Blimey! They must be loaded!
What ever is at hand saves me getting a knife and cutting some plastic off the sandbag 👍🏴
When you showed laying the first tile and said end was low, so lifted a corner and put some under there, surely that would just remove contact people tile and mortar on rest of tile
As you can see it was a fraction and compressed down nicely oozing out the opposite side hardly moved and with a primed tile there was always contact so worth noticing I guess 👍🏴
Nice job I, doing my own and the tiles I like are for outdoors nut only 16mm and not 20 like normal would u say that be ok
Never heard of 16mm but if they say outdoors then go for it 👍🏴
Hi scott if I have a similar project like this but all my existing concrete is cracked, sagging and receeding shoulf i dig out and start fresh with hardcore, cement then porcelain tile?
Amazing work btw you have inspired me to do my Garden
I think you should dig out and hard-core it especially if the concrete has cracked and sagging that basically means there is no real base underneath which is key 👍🏴
Going over existing paving!?thats a big no!!!
Even though there was 100 mm hard-core underneath anyways ? You do have a point also not denying that 👍🏴
Why would it be? I’m thinking of going over my old paving.
If the floor is slightly uneven, is it okay if you compensate with a bit of extra mortar? Obviously this will make the tile fitting more complicated, but would that be an issue?
Yeh not a problem go for it 👍🏴
Do you need a membrane for a porcelain patio?
Also what grout to?
No membrane needed for a patio as the cement seals everything up as for grout there’s a lot on the market some easy some not 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping
You ever used mapei or Bal for porcelain?
@@bharetbhardwaj808 mapei I’ve used once or twice lots of hands and knees work rather than stand up application types eg flowpoint 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping thanks what brand would you recommend for a light grey grout? Can’t find many
Very informative Tidybricks - thank you.
Forgive my ignorance - but what's a 'tingle' - assuming it's a landscaping term and not slang for a £20 pound note?! Also, in your reply to thailand tripper in the comments section you say ". . . and that grabo is my new best friend". What's a 'grabo'?
Cheers. ;-)
A tingle is something to keep the line place for your tile levels and the grabo is basically a suction handle for picking slabs tiles blocks plasterboard glass etc etc etc 👍🏴 thanks for watching
Didnt like your cuts and would you still garuntee this patio with it being played ontop of another
Those cuts were agreed by the customer himself as I wanted him to have the final call. And regarding the patio on patio build absolutely no problemo at all as the base under the patio was correct and already compacted over the years to have another one on top made it a patio sandwich definitely not going no where 👍🏴
Really impressive complete transformation. Question, I have laid & compacted subase last year in preparation for slabbing this year but over this time with kids playing in garden etc some of the stones on surface have now become lose would you compact again or should the ground be ok
The bigger stones always come loose from the top no worries there. You could always top it up with stone dust aka grano and compact back down 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping Thank you very much for your reply I will follow this advice keep up the fantastic work all the best
Stuart
Do you mix sbr in with your bed? or is 4:1 basic mix ok to use with primer on the back of tiles?
Yeh 4/1 sharp sand prime the tiles jobs a good en no sbr in the mix just a squirt of fairy 👍🏴
Why on earth did you cut that curve like that?? Looks awful could of just used a whole tile and cut the curve into it?
That’s the best I could of done even had the customer with me to give me the ok I had tried many other options but that was the best we could come up with by following the curve underneath 👍🏴 not a perfect world
First class job ..could you show us the hammer for them tiles ? Looks like simplex they call them I think 30 mm or 40 ?
I think you’re right it was a Symplex not sure on size but it’s broken now anyway 👍🏴
Are these slippery in the rain? Thinking of doing the same design surrounding our pool
All porcelain tiles have a anti slip rating it’s fine 👍🏴
How would you remove a paver if it was laid on cement like this? I'm facing that problem now!
Sharp stone blade and chop it out that’s all you can do 👍🏴
Do you tile the risers first or the treads on the steps? Also how much overhang on the treads? Thanks
Normally do the treads first and the overhang should be too much maybe around 20mm don’t want anyone tripping up it 👍🏴
You can use deck mud like that outdoors without a slab underneath, just with dirt alone and a few inches of deck mud under each tile?
Laying anything on dirt doesn’t sound that strong ?👍🏴
When laying a porcelain patio against your house wall if the wall is not straight what do you do you put gravel there 4 inches out then start your flagging
Sounds like the right way to go 👍🏴
When you keep the correct fall level, so for example for 3 m long patio, 30mm fall, can you place tiles right up agains the house wall? I am in a new build, with traditional fundation. The landscaping done by the dev, we have gravel up against the wall (about 5cm wide) and then pavers. Thank you! Great job explaining!
Actually it’s a better idea flush with the house so the water runs away asap when you leave a gap the water will rest against the foundations keep it damp rather than flush. Try that it I’d say 👍🏴
@tidybrickslandscaping thank you so much! It's been valuable advice!!!
£20 note as a tingle! You must be rolling in it 🤣🤣
Great video and job 👍
Better now the notes are plastic the paper ones tore in half 😂👍🏴
Well done man ave just layed 21sqm of porcelain and just used building sand as a base and layed them done was scared to use mortar incase I messed up and now I wish I had just watched a video lol
That’s a shame but easy to lift I guess 👍🏴
Did you adhere the porcelain slab riser to brick/Concrete, or was this actually the riser itself buried and then haunching?
Cracking job buddy 👍
Same process to the riser prime the wall prime the tile little bit of cement in between bish bosh 👍🏴
Did you say 4 to 1 using Portland cement? What primer did you use on the back of the tile? Looks great👍
4 sharp sand 1 cement yes and the cement primer was supplied by London stone 👍🏴
Wait what mixture did you use to stick them down?
4/1 sharp sand cement mix hope that helps 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping is sharp send the same as Mason sand ?
@@gustavomarin6535 not sure but sharp sand is more gritty with small shells mixed in. Basically slightly larger grains and more angular in shape unlike bricklaying sand which is more circular grains 👍🏴
great job looks really good, nice size patio too.
Thanks Fergal glad you enjoyed the video mate much appreciated 👍🤜
Wow, nice work! It looks so beautiful. I love the modern and clean look of the floor. My back yard has the patio slap (cement ). It is old and has some cracks . I would like to have the thick porcelain tiles to tile on top the existing patio slap. Is it ok?
Yes it’s fine as long as the base under the original patio is stable so basically it becomes stronger again and Thor watching 👍🏴
Hi, could you please comment on why you did not actually level the substrate and used thinset after? This is a first time I've seen a technique like that. Is it something for outdoors only? How is the glue coverage when you lay it like that?
Sorry Anton I’m not sure what you mean for the main question, and the glue coverage all depends on the mix not to wet not to stiff
Great job 👏 Do you put the manhole covers level with slab ? also do you raise them when you get to that area slabbing so level across from slab to get height of cover correct ? Thank you I have subscribed 👍
Yep you got it get as close as you can then level to it when you can level across it guarantee levels are correct 👍🏴
looking to do this here in the northeast of the USA how week dose this hold up to freeze=thaw cycle i wold use type s cement with 1/4 part portland added and for a bonding agent i would use a portland "paint"
Well the tiles have a anti slip rating for the uk but you guys up there have much colder winters so hard for me to say really.
But that’s what salt is for I guess stop it freezing over 👍🏴
thank you for the info yes the salt use is to lower the freezing point yet as you say our cold winters still freeze the saltwater but this does help answer muy questions that many not hold up to our weather cycle @@tidybrickslandscaping thank you for the help
I'm doing my first (and last?!) DIY porcelain patio and have found your videos very helpful and instructive. Thank you! That said, I have an issue which I don't think you've covered - and searches on RUclips indicate that few other content providers have posted any really comprehensive videos on it either. The issue is . . . how to tackle porcelain steps.
Do you use the same combination of mortar and primer as you do for laying slabs?
Do you lay the treads first and then 'fit' the risers in afterwards - or do you always do the risers first?
How much 'overhang' (if any) do you use use for the treads over the risers?
Do you cut a 'drip lip' channel on the underside of the treads?
How do you grout/point between the vertical risers without the mixture draining out into a big puddle on the new treads?
How would you tackle an inside corner step?
If you have a cut edge showing (e.g. on an inside corner step), how do you clean it up to make it look like the factory edge of the other treads?
Questions, questions, questions! A bespoke video detailing everything one needs to know about how to lay porcelain steps is badly needed and would do very well IMO - as there really isn't anything out there (that I've come across) that adequately covers the topic!
Thanks again and season's greetings. 🙂
Actually I do have a video on this but the title didn’t show it so I’ve just changed it 👍🏴

@@tidybrickslandscaping - Thanks for the reply and the link - much appreciated.
It addresses some of my questions - but not all of them by any means. The next time you do a job with a set of all porcelain steps (i.e. risers AND threads) - and decide to shoot a vid' which goes into greater 'step by step' depth (pun intended!) - I think that would make a really valuable addition to your excellent channel. Sadly, I can't wait for that as I'll be cracking on with my job as soon as the wind and rain lets up!
Thanks again and best wishes for 2024.
Looking to get a job done like this in the Rhondda. Small back patio approx 14sq m . Would you be interested ?
I’m already booked out for the year sorry mate worth a try 👍🏴
How do you cut the large tiles ? Did you use a bull nose for trim or did you cut the trim from full tiles it so did you bevel the edges.
I don’t think I showed those tiles on the video ? Anyways they were bespoke made with the 5mm pencil edge I just cut to size 👍🏴
I much prefer sandstone than porcelain it all looks to modern bringing the inside out and when I tell the customer the price of porcelain they are shocked at times but like you said they are harder to keep clean.
I've been using the levelling system for about 3 years they are a must have and also a couple of grabos are a GOD send on the big tiles.
Nevertheless nice job👍👍👍
I do like sandstone a lot especially when it gets wet completely different patio and that grabo is my new best friend 👍🏴
what size spacers are the levelling system? 2mm?
Find and build a good relationship with reputable suppliers... You'd be suprised how small the difference in price is, especially for the finish thats achievable!! I've managed £5m2 more than calibrated natural....
HAHA just a £20 us northern use a£50 HAHa southern people don’t you just LOVEThem
I tried to bend my gold card but it wouldn’t give 👍🏴
How
How what ? 👍🏴
What is the thinest a porcelain tile can be to use in an application such as you've shown here?
Let’s just say 10mm are internal only everything else is external 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscapingThank you so much for responding!! Sorry if I seem THICK, but, are you saying the pattern can be 10mm and the actual tile itself should be 1/4 "; 1/2" 5/16? I've been looking for tiles and passing by ones that say thickness of 8-10mm thinking it must be a typo or else we are talking veneer?
@@janetkuhl-urbach639 not sure the measurements in inches but yes thinner are internal and thicker are external as outside tiles have more to deal with like weather conditions etc and nothing to do with pattern 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping Thank you, thank you! That is the clarification I've been searching for. Your videos are inspirational-a real service done posting them! Stay safe!!
@@janetkuhl-urbach639 thanks for watching and I’m here to help 👍🏴
You have to use a latex modified mortar to lay porcelain pavers. You can’t use trash mortar bed mix like you would with natural stone.
That dinky primer isn’t enough I bet those pavers are popping by now.
Sigh
Sorry Greg but your wrong on everything 👍🏴
Quick question, I did 500+ concrete slabs 10 years ago, falls all good, linear drains installed etc. Fed up with the joints failing and then the weeds.
Sub base was 300mm, slabs have not moved. Would it be possible to just tile over?
Not a quick question actually. 😂
Subbed though 👍
Sounds like you’re good to go my friend yeh crack on but there’s always a but 😆 drainage and how close are you to the dpc height. If this is a issue then I would definitely go for the porcelain which water run off is best against some cheap riven sandstone you would need more of a fall making you get closer again to the dpc height. Regs say 2 bricks showing from patio to dpc if it was one brick you most likely be fine anyways as long as the water run away Jobs a good en
Message back for more 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping
Cheers for the reply.
DPC is well below, falls are good and I have linear drains running mid way to a two metre cube soak away. 👍
Would you recommend mesh and adhesive or just go straight on to the existing slabs with sand & cement?
Sounds like you’re good to go if the base is already there with no issues then in effect you’re making it stronger again 👌🏴
It would be worth giving it a good pressure wash first you don’t really need to prime the existing really but I would use a wetter mix than anything semi dry. Those vite clips I use there great that helps with a better bed
@@tidybrickslandscaping
Many thanks. Will peruse through some more of your posts. As a fussy carpenter I appreciate what I’ve seen so far. 👍
What do you use to fix your struggling to the wall/house?
I used a slurry cement primer 👍🏴
watching this as planning to tile a two level concrete slab at the end of the garden. Really impressed with the outcome of this. looks so good, especially on that corner over the old stone wall, the steps and the overhang of the surface tiles. Superb job, and thanks for the video
Thanks Tommy glad you like the video especially the tricky corner 👍🏴
For this mixture do you need a special mixer for that?
4sharp sand 1 cement mix 👍🏴
Love the video bro quick one tho how thick does the "dollop" needs to be ?
Thanks bro
Best answer to that is easiest to work with 👍🏴

What's the most expensive tingle you've ever seen...
When I was a site brickie I left I think was 5x£20 tingles on some walls over the weekend and relieved Monday morning when they were still on the walls phew 👍🏴
What's the difference between sharp sand and regular sand?
The grains are different shapes sharp sand is more angular so it locks better 👍🏴 building sand the grains are more round easier for laying bricks with 👍🏴
I heard you said 4 to 1 so that means 4 cement and 1 sand and need to prime the porcelain with regular cement is good for porcelain? Sorry I asked but I read somewhere it said porcelain need thin set otherwise mortal mix won’t stick to it good.
First of all it’s 4 sharp sand 1 cement not the other way round. And here’s a video about the primer hope this helps.
ruclips.net/video/3ecECF8s1go/видео.html

Thank you for correct my mistake I must getting old! Thanks a lot for taking time to answer me.
Is that absolutely lethal if it freezes at night?
Not really it’s all got a anti slip rating otherwise they’d never sell it so yeh it’s fine 👍🏴
I haven’t used primer should I have done this?
The primer is a very important part of laving tiles it helps to glue them to the cement.
Don’t worry otherwise gravity still applies 👍🏴
I didn't know you can lay them onto existing slabs, can I also do the same onto a concrete path? Would make life alot easier
People say your not supposed too but as long as the existing structure is safe and stable and hasn’t sunk then yeh why not just making it stronger again 👍🏴
@tidybrickslandscaping okay thanks alot, saved me hours of work I was about to start taking our path out going from front to back garden tomorrow 🥴😂
@@tidybrickslandscaping Firstly thanks for the video. Do I need to worry about drainage and so install subbase? I have existing structurally sound concrete on a slope so thinking that porcelain and mortar is non porous enough?
Would laying tile like this work in an extremely cold climate (Canada, minus 30 C in the winter)? I'd be worried about water intrusion and ice heaving and breaking everything. Have you got a video installing exterior tile for a cold climate where special drainage and substrate considerations are made?
As for your question I’m not 100% sure on conditions like -30 but these are a exterior tile anyway but your conditions in Canada I really couldn’t say a good answer
Good question 👍🏴
As I'm informed the primar is basically cement
Yes correct it basically allows two cement surfaces to help bind together.
It really does make a difference 👍🏴

From a tile perspective are they rated as slip resistant and frost proof? I know porcelain is hardy but does the ratings on the box reflect this?
They definitely are slip resistant but no way frost proof tried and tested on that porcelain driveway and completed not long 👍🏴

What Grout brand have tried or can recommend ?
also ...Any tips on Cleaning porcelain paving ?
I only ever use Marshalls exterior grout and mapei but just the once.
It’s really hard to use in the summer because it dries so so quick.
Brick acid patio cleaner works great on porcelain but never on stone products 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping brick acid is that ok on porcelain ..?
@@stevendouglas3860 absolutely fine tried and tested but after all that’s one of porcelains good points of the material it’s made of nothing sinks into it it’s like glass. Only the jointing compound is at risk but the slurry grout I use don’t touch it 👍🏴
I’ve used products like lithrofin on it and it takes ages to clean proper scrubbing several times and always not perfect but the acid burns any cement residue off like a dream quick fizz then gone wipe off
Size of the slabs please? Is it 600x600?
Yeh all 600’s 👍🏴
what size joints do them screw caps let you do?
Something like 2 mm but I always use five mil spaces for the tiles anyway

Thx teacher much appreciated 👍🏴
Would you recommend the same process in the countries where it's freezing in the winter?
Difficult to say on that one as when it’s frozen it would be too slippery. Winters over here are quite mild 👍🏴
I was thinking if that mortar bed is a good idea. Is this going to hold for years when it's freezing? I just want to avoid making a concrete slab.
