Hi, Will be laying a patio of light coloured indian sandstone and was advised that silver sand and white cement would give the lightest joint finish and limit chances of staining coming through slabs, however cost of silver sand is prohibitive so was hoping to be able to go with average sharp sand in the mix with white cement.
Has anyone done this and can they comment on resulting colour of joints and any increased likelihood of staining to finished patio stones. Am using Marshalls calibrated patio from TP, so a reasonable standard product for the patio.
Realise the resulting colour could be largely affected by the starting colour of the sand but am concerned about any potential staining on patio slabs after its been laid etc as this patio is long time coming!
Thanks
