Hi All, Any advice appreciated on how to lay tiles outside onto a concrete base. All ready to go, approx 55m2. What type of fixing to use is my main concern, i assume all normal setting out rules apply. Plus, what do i use for a 'grout'. PS they will not be tiles, they will be paving stones approx 400mm x 400mm

Compacted paving sand is best , as long as you have your sub-base well enough compacted they should never subside . when you have screeded your compacted paving sand take a small dish out of where the middle of each flag goes , this will allow for the bottoms of some of theflags are slightly convex . Hope this makes sense .
