I am currently building a new chicken coop.
For the floor, I want to install S-stone pavers (20sqm (215 sq ft), thickness 80mm (3 inches)).
The advantage is that I already have these leftover, and this is a good way to use them up.
The downside is that there are joints that allow water to collect under the surface when sprayed.
A chicken coop should ideally be kept as dry as possible.
Therefore, I am looking for a way to seal these narrow joints (1-3mm (0.04-0.12 inches)) to make them as waterproof and tight as possible, and it should be affordable (there is no point in saving money by using the leftover pavers if I then spend just as much or more sealing the joints—otherwise, I might as well pour a concrete slab).
I have considered, for example, sweeping in cement powder and then spraying with water, or using tile grout (but that might already be too expensive, and it must be frost-resistant).
What if I mix fine joint sand with cement, sweep it into the joints, and then spray it with water?
The surface can remain rough and smeared after sealing; it does not need to look neat, just be tight.
