Just think about how much water comes through the joints. When you finish thinking about it, you'll realize that your question is nonsensical ;) .
Assistance:
The joints make up about 1% of the area (roughly estimated with 60x60 cm tiles), just to have a calculation size. Additionally, there is a slope installed.
What do you think will actually come through the joints during a two-day continuous rain? More than 35 liters in 6 hours of rain per square meter is a storm. The majority runs off directly. So you will actually get a water ingress through the joints in the milliliter range. Even after two days of continuous storm rain, nothing comes through (at least no relevant amount).
Many have told me that now.
But if I turn the garden hose on full and place it at the top of my terrace, I don't get past joint 2. All water goes down joint 1 and 2... And that with a 3.5% slope...
The joints are about 1mm wide.
