Recently installed outdoor porcelain tiles (Quarziti 2.0) over a gravel/sand base using sand instead of grout between the tiles; and several of the tiles have a crunching sound when walking on them. Have tapped them all in and put weight on them, but some just still making noise. Does this work itself out or do i need to reinstall (perhaps thicker base?).

Thanks In Advance!
 
You need a solid base - it’s not like laying paving slabs!

But the website for the product says: Outdoor porcelain pavers can be dry laid onto grass, gravel, dirt and sand - or onto terraces and roofs using raised supports - without grout, adhesives or specialized workers, making installation incredibly easy.

 
Laid on grass?!?!?!? WTF!!!!
Lmao

Those suppliers need change their advice and learn how to fit them themselves on grass see if they recommend that then!

(Note that this is a USA member and supplier so respondents need to perhaps consider that when advising, not that much can be done now?!)

yes, 20mm can be laid on grass or sand,
just carry out the right procedure.
over time some may move,
but the accommodation is fast.
but I've never tried laying on sand.
