Azpects Jointing paving Grout - MUSHROOM - 12.5kg Jointing Compound

Product Information

Detailed instructions on how to joint paving with our sweep in sand can be found on this site or in the EASYJoint tub.

Firstly, it provides better workability to the compound - allowing it to be swept across the paving more freely. Full instructions on how to joint paving and a demonstration video showing how to joint a patio can be found on this web site. A strong joint that will resist the elements and stand the test of time - better than traditional jointing methods. Much more effective than traditional jointing methods, EASYJoint is also strong enough to withstand all weather elements, making it extremely durable. EASY Joint is a natural product, because dirty water can drain through the joint, over time the appearance may change, this will not affect the integrity of the product.

A 6:1 bedding mix (six parts sharp sand to one part cement) when laying the paving is ideal in that it provides enough porosity in the mix for water to escape and the product to cure. Lastly is contains linseed oil, a vital ingredient to create a strong bond in the paving joint however to avoid this oil penetrating the paving stone the EASY Joint instructions inform you to thoroughly soak the paving, this keeps the linseed oil 'floating' on the surface of the water, rather than penetrating the stone. It can be used with concrete pavers, granite setts, york stone slabs, slate, clay, terracotta and brick. Do not be tempted to use brick acid on paving, it will damage the paving and possibly the paving joint. The product video was useful, though I found it slightly to slot/brush in the gaps easier if the mix was like wet sand, not very wet slurry.

The result will be a joint that is completely filled without the need for kneeling and compressing the material by hand that will last for years. However, to ensure grout can 'key' between slabs, important to leave a gap and clear under edges when laying slabs. We recommend using sufficient water with EASY Joint to turn it into a slurry, it works incredibly well with paving joints of different sizes (minimum 3mm) - View the EASY Joint demonstration video and see how EASY it is to joint a patio using EASY Joint. Opened tubs of EASYJoint, if not fully used, can be kept for later use providing they are covered by a minimum of 2" (50mm) or more of water.We recommend the depth of the joints are kept to a minimum of 20mm, if necessary, remove the old joint and top back up with new jointing compound. We recommend that sensitive paving, such as Granite, Black Limestone and smooth Sandstone are sealed to protect from staining before using EASY Joint. It’s packed full of useful tips and techniques on the best way to use our range of tiling tools and accessories. The end results will be a perfect joint that is fully filled without need for kneeling and compressing the material by hand that will last for years and years.

EASY Joint is the UK’s top selling paving jointing compound, favoured by professionals and DIY installers all around the world. This was ideal super simple to use and has gone off perfectly, transformed two patios with the one tub. Finally, using water helps to lift the linseed oil in the compound off the paving as it is less dense than water - preventing any potential temporary staining. Must be applied wet as stated by manufactures, finish off with a suitable pointing tool for a smoother contoured finish, if required. EASY Joint can be cleaned to remove these particles by using a light pressure wash (see cleaning instructions).You must follow the instructions carefully when using porcelain tiles and depending on whether they are for indoor or outdoor use, be careful what bedding mix they are laid on. Making hard landscaping even easier because the product is best installed in wet conditions - rain or shine, it goes in fine. Most of our branches have a heavy goods vehicle (road access and weight limits need to be considered) with some branches having smaller vehicles.
