UltraScape Flowpoint Smooth Rapid Set External Paving Grout – Natural Grey

UltraScape Flowpoint Smooth Natural Grey is a flowable patio & paving grout which is ideal for porcelain, and filling joints from just 3mm between all types of paving slabs & setts. It’s perfect for use on granite setts, sandstone, limestone, Indian Stone, Yorkstone and concrete slabs – and particularly porcelain where a finer aggregate finish is required. The patio pointing mix comes in a handy 25kg bag so it’s not too heavy to lift, it’s really simple to mix with water and a large bucket, is fast to apply and is fast to set.

As Flowpoint Smooth is rapid setting it means that your patio is pointed far quicker than using traditional methods of pointing and jointing slabs. The grout is simply mixed and poured over the paving slabs, then worked into the joints with a squeegee, it’s then washed off after an initial 15 minute setting time to produce robust joints which stop weeds growing back! 

For peace of mind, Ultrascape Flowpoint exceeds all the requirements of the latest British Standard BS 7533. Flowpoint has been widely used over the last 20 years for a variety of projects including public realm, landscaping, streetscape projects and many non-commercial domestic patios and gardens. UltraScape Flowpoint is known and loved because it’s fast to apply, cost effective and produces solid robust joints – it is manufactured to last up to 40 years!

How many bags of Flowpoint Paving Grout do I need?

The number of bags of Flowpoint needed to joint between paving slabs, tiles or setts depends on the area in square metres that you have to paved, the width and length of your slabs, and the width and depth of your joints. Under the image above, you will find a handy calculator to help you work this out. But, as a general rule of thumb, for larger format porcelain tiles say 600mm x 900mm; with a joint width of 5mm and depth of 20mm you’ll use one bag of Flowpoint per 30m2, for a mixed pack of sandstone slabs you’ll use one bag on average for every 20m2, and for granite setts that are much smaller in area and have a need for a deeper joint you’ll use on average one bag per 1.5-2m2. For an accurate calculation, using your exact slab dimensions and patio area, please refer to our calculator or give us a call on ☎️ 0330 122 1025.
