What grout should I use for porcelain paving?

Porcelain paving should be grouted using either a cementitious slurry grout or epoxy grout. As most porcelain paving features narrower joint widths, ensure your grout is suitable for the specified joint size.

What joint width is recommended for porcelain slabs?

Usually, a joint width of at least 2–5mm is typically recommended to allow for proper grout performance and accommodate minor movement. With porcelain pavers, joint widths of a minimum of 1mm may be achievable depending on the grout formula.

How do I avoid grout haze on porcelain?

Work in manageable sections, keep the surface clean during installation, and remove residue promptly using clean water or a suitable grout haze remover before it cures.

Do I need to seal porcelain paving?

Porcelain paving does not require sealing because it is non-porous and highly stain resistant. However, some homeowners choose to apply a sealer for a satin finish or easier ongoing maintenance.

Why is priming essential for porcelain paving?

Priming is essential for porcelain paving because it helps grouts, mortars, jointing compounds and adhesives bond to the dense, non-porous surface, ensuring strong, durable joints, even curing, and a long-lasting, professional finish.
