Purbeck stone grouting

Couldn’t hurt to try them - cheers.!

Il probably just voice my opinion on an email then do as I’m told, at least il have a paper trail if anything should occur.

Hi all

I’m currently on a project using 20mm purbeck stone the field tiles are 435x435 with a 3mm joint.
the architect Has specified a lime mortar grout.
I have used a nhl-5 and sand mix to grout before as the floor was breathable the tiles had 6mm joints though.
This floor isn’t a lime screed so doesn’t need to be breathable.
I would much rather use a modern cement based grout so I’m going to try and convince the architect it’s the route to take.!

most architects I have come across live by their specifications so I’m guessing he will stick to his guns.
Has anyone else had success with a 3mm joint in lime mortar?

I’m really after as much info as possible - to either support my case for a modern grout or to reassure me his spec will be fine

Cheers

Is it possible to get split face Purbeck stone at circa 20mm thick to clad external walls?
