What mix for this grout ?

[PNE]

Hi Tony

With reference to our last conversation about 6 months ago...I have now finished the patio and it looks great. Sorry I didn`t send any piccies and I am unable to now as I have sold up and moved on to a new house and therefore new project.

If it is OK I need to tap into your waelth of knowledge about pointing/grouting primarily.


We are now living in a converted barn which has a lovely York stone path along the side of it but we now want to extend it out and along to make a patio instead.

What I would like to know is how the previous owners created the whiter looking pointing between the slabs ?
what mix would it have been?....It would then make it easier to try and match what is already there.

I have taken a couple of shots to try and help you.Is there anyway of sending them to you?

Cheers for your time

A whiter or paler mortar can be made by using a lighter coloured sand or by using a white cement or by replacing part of the cement content with lime.

You can send photies to info AT pavingexpert DOT com and I should receive them.
