Why use Azpects EASYJoint?

EASYJoint paving grout or jointing compound is a very straightforward, effective and visually appealing way to fill joints between paving, whether it is natural stone paving (such as Sandstone or Limestone) or Porcelain Paving. It is appropriate for all types of garden paving slabs provided there is a gap of at least 3mm wide minimum. We would recommend 5mm for the optimal joint, with a depth of 25mm (narrow joint compound).

As stated, the EASYJoint is easy to use – simply soak the garden pavers with water before commencing and then simultaneously sweep the jointing compound into the joints, letting the water take the strain. It can even be done by those who may not have a huge amount of DIY experience.

How to Use EasyJoint

As we have mentioned above, it is easy to use EasyJoint to add grouting to your paving.  We have created a small and straightforward guide to help you start, especially if this is your first time using this product.

Step 1 – First you need to assess your paved area and measure to ensure that the joints are at least 3mm wide minimum, we recommend 5mm, and 20mm deep.

Step 2 – If your paving is made of natural stone, such as Sandstone and Limestone, then you need to make sure you soak the area before you begin. A hose pipe will do the job, or a watering can.

Step 3 – Once the paving is thoroughly damp, pour out the EasyJoint onto the paving.

Step 4 – Add water to the grout to create a slurry.

Step 5 – As you are watering the compound, start sweeping it into the joints. Be quick when doing this because you don’t want the compound to dry out. We suggest you work with a 2^nd person so one person can do the sweeping while the other is on water-pouring duty.

Step 6 – Don’t be shy on the Easy Joint, if you have used up all the product, pour more onto the paving and start all over again and ensure that all gaps are filled. Be diligent if you are doing this project when the weather is warm because that would lead to the compound drying more quickly. 

Step 7 – Once all the gaps have been filled. Go over the paving surface with another spray of water to wash away any grout residue, not only will this make the entire area look clean, but it also helps to compress the compound further.

Step 8 – Finally, use a pointing tool to smooth over the jointing and give it a professional look.

PLEASE NOTE:

It is not suitable for poorly draining or persistently wet site conditions. It is a natural product that allows water to permeate through. The product when freshly laid will be bright in colour but because of its permeability, it may over time become dirty and change in appearance. Some natural growth of algae and mould can occur, which can generally be easily cleaned away.
The compressive strength of EASYJoint is such that it will adequately take the downward forces exerted by pedestrians & domestic cars but is not designed to form a structural part of the path/driveway. The integrity of the project can only be maintained if the surface material is adequately bedded into the base, which in turn is constructed to an appropriate specification.
