Product Information

Then, mix thoroughly until the mixture has a creamy consistency. This will take between 4 and 6 minutes. Do not exceed 6 minutes mixing. Shortcutting this process can seriously affect the outcome of the installation. The result of using EASYJoint, to joint your paving, will be a paving gap that is completely filled that will last for years. A strong joint that will resist the elements and stand the test of time – better than traditional jointing methods

Yes, theoretically EASYJoint can be used below 3 degrees down to freezing conditions, however in these conditions, the use of lots of water becomes more difficult with a greater risk of staining. Where possible avoid using below 3 degrees, use with caution. Does EASYJoint stain paving slabs? It is also worth pointing out that because dirty surface water can drain through the joint, over time it will result in a visual change to the EASYJoint colour. This is entirely natural; it is not a fault and it will not impair the integrity of the product. Sponge Machines & Ancillaries We supply a range of indoor & outdoor sponge machines from Refina & Berta which are suitable for cleaning epoxy & cement grouts such as UltraScape Flowpoint from quarry tiles, external paving slabs, natural stone and granite setts. Our range of sponge machines protects the joints between paving slabs by avoiding washing away the cement, whilst the machine removes the need for individuals to wash away grout on their hands and knees.To further aid this, "point" or "strike" the joint; do not leave it textured. This ensures the top of the filler is below the top rounded edge of the paving and helps it adhere to the base and sides of the paving material. In dry conditions and warm temperatures and humidity, EASYJoint should be firm enough to walk on within 24 hours and will cure hard within a few days. Wet the Paving. Thoroughly soak the patio or paved area to be jointed with lots of water using a hose. The paving must be absolutely saturated before starting and remain soaked throughout the application process ‘the wetter, the better.’ We strongly recommend not shortcutting this process, particularly when working with absorbent or sensitive materials such as Sandstone, Granite and Limestone. Highly absorbent and porous stone will require sealing, 2-3 days prior to laying, on its top surface and four edges. Top Up. Use more EASYJoint to top up any low areas, repeating the washing process as described previously.

EASYJoint is the original sweep-in jointing Compound and still the best truly "All Weather Paving Joint Compound" available and made in the UK. Do not be fooled by others making similar claims. This #1 product is sold across the world and is favoured by professional and DIY installers. The compressive strength of EASYJoint is such that it will adequately take the downward forces exerted by pedestrians & domestic cars, but is not designed toform a structural part of the path/driveway. The integrity of the project can onlybe maintained if the surface material is adequately bedded into the base, whichin turn is constructed to an appropriate specification. Buy With Confidence Carefully empty the content of the activator bottle into the sand, ensuring all the liquid is used. Easyjoint can be used in wet or dry conditions and is sold in a 12.5kg tub which will cover an average of 7m² depending on slab size and joint width.

Step 1. Pre-soak

As the name implies, EASYJoint is easy to use – simply soak the paving with water before commencing and then simultaneously sweep and wash the jointing compound into the joints, letting the water take the strain.

With very light, or unknown types of stone with open pores the joint mortar can cause discolouration. It is therefore recommended to try on a test surface beforehand. Temperature for use: > 0°C ground temperature. Shelf life: at least 12 months after production date. Use after opening. Do not mix, strongly porous. 6. Watch A Video Continuously Wash the Paving. The hose operator should alternate between following the sweeper to aid washing the compound into the joints and moving ahead of him/her so that the paving is always wet. This is particularly important in warm/hot weather conditions. EASYJoint is the UK’s top selling paving jointing compound, favoured by professionals and DIY installers all around the world. This product has evolved to meet user demands and keep up with the latest trends in the industry. The EASYJoint family now has 8 products within the range. The use of water to wash and fill the joints between the paving is a breakthrough in jointing methodology. It assists the paving grout to compact into the joints so there is no need to ‘strike’ or ‘tool’ the joints unless you want a smooth finish. EASYJoint can be installed dry, however to use this method the paving must be sealed at least 2 - 3 days before the EASYJoint application. The paving slabs must be sealed on five sides (the top and four edges). When applying dry, EASYJoint compound must be compressed, by striking off with a pointing tool into the joints as it will not self-compact in the same way it does when applied with water.

Oops! The product option you have chosen is out of stock.

Although not strictly necessary with most paving grouts, sealing slabs prior to using EASYJoint Pro will ensure that any salts or residue that may be drawn up through the mortar bed are limited, and also any shiny residue does not appear on the face of the slabs due to the epoxy resin in the compound. The risk of not sealing is that you may end up with a picture frame of stains around the edge of your paving slabs, or patchy efflorescence.

To further aid this, “point” or “strike” the joint; do not leave it textured. This ensures the top of the filler is below the top rounded edge of the paving and helps it adhere to the base and sides of the paving material. After you have laid your paving slabs, having left the required space to account for the joints, use your hose pipe to completely drench the paving stones in water, if you're laying permeable paving such as Sandstone or Limestone. Once the garden paving is wet, begin emptying out your EasyJoint compound on top of the paving, adding water to the grout until it forms a slurry. Step 3 Similarly, while EASYJoint remains wet, either via the application process or through rainfall, the curing process will be suspended. Prolonged periods of rain, or several intermittent showers will considerably extend the setting times. Again, this will not affect the final integrity of the product in any way provided water can drain easily away and so allow even curing throughout the joints (as previously explained) Why use EASYJoint? If heavy or prolonged rain is forecast, it is ideal to wait for drier conditions as heavy rain may disturb sand particles in the EASYJoint mix before it cures solid, giving an uneven texture. Prolonged rain will also extend the curing process.Do not commence the installation if persistent, heavy rain is forecast within 6 hours of completing the jointing. The positive environmental factors of using EasyJoint is also what makes it an attractive choice. With increasing fears of flash flooding, customers are now looking for ways they can prevent this, and encourage good drainage in their garden. Once you have installed your paving with EASYJoint, you will enjoy the permeable features of this grout; rain will be able to easily pass through these joints without needing to be drained somewhere else.
