Hi Brew Crew

I've just laid my 315 x 315 Old Provence tiles on a semi-dry bed of sharp sand/cement (6:1), as recommended by Westminster Stone.

I'd now like to grout/joint using Marshalls' WeatherPoint 365. Marshalls have said that this should only be used on slabs laid on a full mortar bed, but would it be OK on the bed I have used? I've bought the stuff now!

Alternatively, is there anything similar to Weatherpoint you would recommend as more suitable for my project? I don't want to use a traditional mortar mix as I have neither the time nor the expertise!

Thanks

A semi dry bed of sharp sand and cement 6/1 is the same thing as a full bed of mortar.

Its absolutely fine to use the Marshalls product.

Thanks - I thought that might be the case. Wish me luck!

You don't need it. Follow the instructions and you cant go wrong

Don't Westminster have their own 'white-label' polymeric jointing mortar? I had it in my head that young Tom had struck a deal with a certain supplier to provide their own jollop under the Westminster brand?

I don't know about that, but the Weatherpoint seems to have done the job nicely, and it was very straight forward. at Â£39 +VAT per 15kg not too bad a price either - in my opinion. I now just need to seal the slabs, any suggestions for a good sealant, I've asked Westminster Stone, but no response as of yet.
