patio
A patio (, from Spanish: patio [ˈpatjo]; "courtyard", "forecourt", "yard", "little garden") is an outdoor space generally used for dining or recreation that adjoins a residence and is typically paved. In Australia the term is expanded to include roofed structures such as a veranda, which provides protection from sun and rain.
Hi all,
I'm looking to tile the entirety of our small patio area with either brick slips or terracotta tiles and would appreciate picking the brains of experts please.

Hi
I’m looking for a tiler to come and give me a quote for a re-grout of a large approx 75m2 patio tiled in large 600x1200mm porcelain tiles.
The grout used originally was Kerakoll Fugabella color. I’m happy for the same grout to be used or if an alternative one would do a better job then that’s...
Hi all. Just after a quick bit of advice.
The other half wants porcelain slabs for the patio.
It’s about 11sqm. I’ve watched lots of different YouTube videos. Doesn’t look to bad.
Just couple questions from anyone that’s fitted them.
1) what’s the best way to cut them? I’ve got a 4” and 9”...

Hello, as a novice, I need some advice. Our landscapers have been doing a fantastic job so far with our back garden. We’ve come home today to the first tiles being laid on the raised patio they created. We had discussed the patio size, and agreed the rough size of the final patio to allow for...
I had a new porcelain patio installed several months ago, and we have been struggling ever since the tiles were first laid down, with a recurring discolouration issue regarding the grout that's been used. The grout is Fugabella.
In short, the grout looks patchy, dark and wet even when the rest...
My patio is laid with travertine tiles. The grout under the tiles around the 3 sides( appx 15 tiles) is missing, the tiles are sounding hollow and some are cracking. Is there anywaterproof grout I could inject into them - I can't afford to have the patio relaid.
Hi laid my patio 2 years ago 20mm porcelain and used rompox to grout . Noticed in the winter after frosts it started breaking up . I have now angle grinded it all out which was a horrible job.My patio is beige so with 2 dogs very occasionally we would jet wash it which also did not help grout...
Good evening all,
I am currently in the process of swapping out decking for a tiled patio.
I plan on compacting MOT type 1 initially, followed by either:
1. Sand / cement mix and wet lay the tiles like slabs
2. Concrete slab poured, then tile directly onto the slab using suitable outdoor...
Hi,
Recently moved into a new build property, we noticed that our enter last row of tiles on the patio and edges of the patio are chipped. Image attached of a full tile and 2 images from different parts of the patio of the chipped tiles.
We reported this to the developer as part of snagging...
Hello Tilers,
I'm seeking some expert advise here, I'm not a tiler myself nor a half good DIYer
Have got a Patio Laid in Porcelain last week.
However due to weather conditions the work has been slow as it has been raining intermittently sometimes heavy.
The tiles have been...
I received an email about BAL External tile adhesive and grout this morning and thought I'd post it to our tiling news area of the forum because there isn't much actual tiling news in here. But if you're looking for workwear you're on a winner. :D :D (no offence to our awesome sponsor...

I want to refit a couple of risers which have come loose on a travertine patio and also regrout the joints on the risers. I would appreciate any tips/uggestions on doing the work and the adhesive/grout to use, especially as the area where the tiles belong does get a lot of the drain off from the...

I used Nexus Projoint Mid Grey Porcelain grout on our patio and it hasn't come out quite as dark as I would like. I should have gone for the darker grey, the mid grey looked great initially but its almost exactly the same colour as the tiles now that it's cured. It looks great when it's wet...
