My builder pal retired a few years ago, got bored, so returned to doing jobs for family and friends.
My Indian sandstone flags are a mixed bunch, varying sizes and thickness. A few are wafer thin. Others the complete opposite, so different levels of base material required to get the job looking right and a g3ntle fall into two long drains and consequently no pooling of water. Apparently these days they are of a uniform thickness, with three grooves on the underside to aid adhesion.
When cleaned, they are very attractive. Different colours, fossilised ferns etc,. Unfortunately they get grubby after several months, and my annual pressure washing often removes some of the pointing.
There are approaching 300 slabs over the 3 patio areas, and it would have taken the two of us quite a few days to do the pointing. Hopefully this Nexus Projoint V75 epoxy resin mortar system should do the job. It takes loads up to 7.5 tons so should be ok for my plastic furniture
I’ll let you know how it goes.
