@@Hardscape_com if the lines are narrow, how do you enable the polymeric sand all the way to the bottom? I believe you’re not allowed to use the plate compactor machine (Not sure it’s name)
@@brazillianguy01 great question, our porcelain pavers are manufactured so they can be compacted with a roller compactor or with a plate compactor that has protection under the plate. We manufacture our own Polymeric sand made for porcelain pavers, 1/8” joint space is what our spacers provide for the installation of our products. Hope this answers your questions .

I’m in western NC and would like to resurface our pool deck with your 2cm 24x24 or 16x32 porcelain pavers. Would you recommend sand over concrete or direct adhere to our concrete pool deck? Thank you!
Was there any type of thinset used here or is it just set on top of stand like brick pavers?
It was installed over aggregate base, just like a concrete paver is installed. No Thinset
What about weed growing in between the grout line. I understand there is no ground in them but sand but that creates an issue of weed growing.
Porcelain pavers installed over aggregate use a special polymeric sand, no weeds will grow and no ants either
