I work alongside a team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals, and between us we've seen a lot of paving grouts come and go.

Simply mixed with water, it produces a flowable slurry that is poured across the paving, squeegeed into the joints, and cleaned down to reveal strong, durable, weed-free joints. It's faster to apply and far less labour-intensive than traditional pointing methods — and it's manufactured to last up to 40 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Do Industry Experts Say About Flowpoint?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Standard has been the workhorse of the Flowpoint range for over 30 years — the product that built the reputation.

Their attitude is, 'I've been doing this for 20 years… Why should I change now?' And some are quite rightly scared when they consider pouring Flowpoint onto their slabs — at the end of the day, you are pouring a cementitious slurry directly onto the pavers. It goes against everything that you've been taught. But Flowpoint has been developed so it doesn't stick to the paving.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"In addition to its British Standard rating and the strength of the product, it's also the speed at which you can install it.

Flowpoint is just so easy and quick to install that it makes you money. It's a well-priced product and, in my view, a landscaper's friend.

I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. The FAQ answers below come from the questions we're asked every single day — so if yours isn't there, just give us a call.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Flowpoint Paving Grout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint is a fast-setting, cement-based paving grout for outdoor use on patios, terraces, pavements and paving slabs. It's applied using a simple slurry method — mix with water for 3–5 minutes, pour, spread with a neoprene squeegee, and clean off. Once set, Flowpoint forms a durable, non-permeable finish that blocks weeds and water. It sets in 15–30 minutes (depending on temperature), is walkable in an hour, and ready for vehicle traffic in 4 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Charcoal over Natural Grey?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharcoal creates a bolder, more defined joint that works particularly well with granite setts, slate, charcoal or grey porcelain, and darker natural stones. It gives a contemporary, high-contrast finish that frames the paving and makes the stone the star. Natural Grey is the more neutral, versatile option — if you're unsure which suits your stone, \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003esend us a photo\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll advise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Flowpoint Charcoal with black limestone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint can cause oxidisation on some darker limestones such as black limestone — however, the new generation of temporary pre-sealers, such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep Temporary Sealer\u003c\/a\u003e, prevent this by creating a protective barrier between the stone and the grout.

It must always be applied on a solid, non-permeable bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you use Flowpoint in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — you can use Flowpoint in light rain, but ensure the paving joints don't fill up with rainwater. Applying on a damp day can actually be beneficial, as it slows the set and gives you more working time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill Flowpoint stain my paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint is designed to be stain-free and resistant to efflorescence — provided it's applied correctly. Staining is not a product fault; it's typically caused by skipping a paving primer, not misting slabs during application, or over-watering the mix.

Curing times can vary depending on the weather — colder and wetter conditions can delay the curing speed significantly.

To stop this, put any excess material back in the tub and submerge it in water — this cuts out the oxygen and can give you up to a month of extra usage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is Fusion used?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFusion is perfect for natural stone and concrete patios, paths and other areas with foot traffic only.

A permeable sub-base also allows water collecting in the joints to drain freely, stopping it from building up and becoming stagnant — stagnant water can soften the binder over time and encourage algae growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen you say permeable bedding\/base mix, what does this mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 5:1 ratio of sand and cement (or above) is classed as permeable.

Paving must be firmly bedded and stable prior to filling joints and laid on bedding material suitable for the intended traffic loading. Liberally wet the paving prior to mixing allowing the water to soak into the surface. V400-WT should be mixed by using a plasterers’ whisk. Add the sand to a mixing vessel and when wearing appropriate PPE, pour the resin and hardener together and begin mixing. Mix for around two minutes until thoroughly mixed and then add 3 litres of water to the mix (equivalent to 2 of the resin containers). Mix for a further three minutes until the mix becomes a free flowing slurry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApplication\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure that the paving is still wet and surface temperature is between 0°C and 25°C. Do not allow the paving to dry out during application and care should be taken when using the product on dark paving due to high surface temperatures. Empty the mix directly onto the paving and move the mix using a squeegee over the total area allowing the empty joints to fill completely. After 10 to 15 minutes use a medium soft brush at 45° to joints and sweep off the excess sand leaving the paving clean. It is particularly important to sweep the paving clean before the product cures to ensure any remaining residue does not set on the paving surface. The fluid nature of the mortar means that no further compaction of the joint is required. A trowel or iron can be used if necessary once the mortar has begun to cure to achieve a traditional finish. Increased water tolerance means that the product can be used in light rain but does need protecting from prolonged and heavy rain as this will delay the cure and could cause fluid damage. Make sure that any protective cover does not come into contact with the fresh joints; air circulation over joints is required during curing time. Cure times are dependant on temperature and humidity but as a guide can accept foot traffic after 12 hours and vehicle traffic after 24 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProJoint V400-WT is not recommended for porcelain - please refer to \u003ca href=\"\/products\/projoint-porcelain-paving-grout\"\u003eProJoint Porcelain Grout\u003c\/a\u003e. V400-WT™ may highlight and enhance the natural surface colours and textures of the paving - this sheen can be especially noticeable on grey paving, including granite, so a test area is advised before use. It is important to spread the mix across the total paving area to ensure the potential effect is uniform. Please note that this is a temporary effect and weathering and foot traffic accelerate its disappearance.

This is entirely natural and will not impair the integrity of the product, but does cause discolouration. To remove any debris, algae, lichen or fungi from your paving slabs and joints, use a light pressure wash over the surface (no more than once a year, using a \"fan\" type nozzle no closer than 150mm\/6 inches from the surface).

Too many contractors start washing off when the product starts to dry on the slabs. You need to keep the slabs damp with a mist of water so it doesn't go off on them too soon. Always make sure Flowpoint Fine is set in the joint before washing it off. Keep your eye on the firmness of the joint — just with a little thumb test. Once firm, then begin washing off.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGARETH WILSON — Hard Landscaping Expert \u0026amp; RHS Award Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Some landscapers are stuck in their ways and they don't like change. Their attitude is, 'I've been doing this for 20 years… Why should I change now?' And some are quite rightly scared when they consider pouring Flowpoint onto their slabs — at the end of the day, you are pouring a cementitious slurry directly onto the pavers. It goes against everything that you've been taught.

Flowpoint is just so easy and quick to install that it makes you money. It's a well-priced product and, in my view, a landscaper's friend.

I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. The FAQ answers below come from the questions we're asked every single day — so if yours isn't there, just give us a call.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Flowpoint Fine and how is it different from other Flowpoint grades?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Fine is the most specialist grade in the Flowpoint range. Unlike Standard, ECO and Smooth — which all have a visible aggregate finish — Flowpoint Fine has no visible aggregate at all, producing a super-smooth, tile-like joint. It fills joints from just 2mm (vs 3mm for Smooth and 5mm for Standard), uses a different water ratio (3.4L per 20kg vs 4.25L per 25kg), and comes in a 20kg tub rather than a 25kg bag. It's the product of choice for porcelain paving, smooth natural stone, and inside-outside flooring schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Flowpoint Fine come in Limestone or Stone Grey?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot under the Flowpoint Fine name — but effectively yes. When Instarmac introduced Limestone and Stone Grey to the Fine range, they gave them a new product name: \u003cstrong\u003ePorcelpoint\u003c\/strong\u003e. It's the same ultra-fine, aggregate-free formulation as Flowpoint Fine, just in lighter, stone-matching colours. So if you need the Fine finish in a pale tone, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ultrascape-porcelpoint-flowable-porcelain-grout-limestone\"\u003ePorcelpoint Limestone\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ultrascape-porcelpoint-flowable-porcelain-grout-stone-grey\"\u003ePorcelpoint Stone Grey\u003c\/a\u003e is what you're looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Flowpoint Fine suitable for porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Fine was created with porcelain in mind. Its ultra-fine, aggregate-free finish flows cleanly into the narrow joints typical of porcelain slabs without bridging or leaving voids, and the smooth finish complements the clean lines of porcelain beautifully. We strongly recommend using a temporary pre-sealer such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep\u003c\/a\u003e before grouting porcelain, as it can be prone to grout haze if the surface isn't protected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Flowpoint Fine to create an inside-outside look?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely — this is one of the most popular applications for Flowpoint Fine. Its super-smooth, aggregate-free finish replicates the look of high-quality internal tiling grout, making it ideal for anyone wanting to create a seamless visual flow between their kitchen or conservatory floor and their garden patio. Used with the right porcelain and a consistent grout colour, the result is genuinely impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Flowpoint Fine with black limestone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint can cause oxidisation on some darker limestones such as black limestone — however, the new generation of temporary pre-sealers, such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep Temporary Sealer\u003c\/a\u003e, prevent this by creating a protective barrier between the stone and the grout.

Full curing takes 24–48 hours. \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/when-is-it-too-cold-to-grout\"\u003eColder conditions\u003c\/a\u003e extend curing time; \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/10-tips-for-grouting-in-warm-weather\"\u003ewarmer temperatures accelerate it\u003c\/a\u003e. Because Flowpoint Fine sets quickly, it's important to work methodically and keep the surface damp — follow Gareth Wilson's advice above and use the thumb test before washing off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Flowpoint Fine permeable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — Flowpoint Fine is a non-permeable, cementitious-based grout. It must always be applied on a solid, non-permeable bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you use Flowpoint Fine in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — light rain is fine, but ensure the joints don't fill with rainwater before you begin. A damp day can actually be beneficial as it slows the set and gives you more working time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to pre-seal my slabs before using Flowpoint Fine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf using a temporary pre-grout sealer\u003c\/strong\u003e (such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nexus-pavecare-pre-grout-stone-porcelain-paving-sealer\"\u003eNexus ProJoint Pre-Grout\u003c\/a\u003e): do \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e pre-soak the paving.

Use the Flowpoint Calculator on this page for an accurate estimate, or call us and we'll work it out for you.

If you're going to be on your hands and knees with a trowel and a three-to-one mortar mix, it will take you about five times as long to install, compared with using Flowpoint. Flowpoint is just so easy and quick to install that it makes you money. It's a well-priced product and, in my view, a landscaper's friend.

And some are quite rightly scared when they consider pouring Flowpoint onto their slabs — at the end of the day, you are pouring a cementitious slurry directly onto the pavers.

Decided on Flowpoint Natural Grey Standard — didn't want a porous grout! Removed all old grout with an angle grinder and chisels, and treated the pavers with Black Spot Remover. With temperatures of 6–9°C, I went ahead and started the slurry grouting procedure using 2-bag mixes before clean-up, 8 bags in total. Very pleased with the results. Flowpoint is obviously a high quality product which does 'what it says on the tin'. The Paving Experts provided a very good service — excellent delivery on pallet, prompt, very competitive on price, and delivered to me in Scotland with no problem. Would definitely use them again.

I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. The FAQ answers below come from the questions we're asked every single day — so if yours isn't there, just give us a call.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is UltraScape Flowpoint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltraScape Flowpoint is a fast-curing, flowable, cement-based external paving grout for outdoor use on patios, driveways, terraces, pavements and paving slabs. It's applied using a simple slurry method — mix with water for 3–5 minutes, pour, spread with a neoprene squeegee, and clean off. Once set, Flowpoint forms a durable, non-permeable finish that blocks weeds and water. It sets in 15–30 minutes (depending on temperature), is walkable in an hour, and ready for vehicle traffic in just 4 hours. It conforms to BS 7533 and has been in use for over 30 years on projects ranging from domestic patios to major public realm schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a flowable paving grout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA flowable paving grout is one that is mixed to a slurry consistency and poured directly onto the paving surface, where it flows down into and fills the joints under gravity — assisted by a squeegee. This is fundamentally different from traditional hand-pointing, where mortar is packed into joints by hand with a trowel. Flowpoint is one of the most established flowable paving grouts available in the UK, having been in use for over 30 years on projects ranging from domestic patios to major public realm schemes. The flowable method is faster, more consistent, and far less labour-intensive than traditional pointing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Flowpoint a good paving grout for driveways?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Standard is an excellent paving grout for driveways. It's open to vehicular traffic in just 4 hours, which makes it one of the most practical rapid-setting paving grouts for driveway use. Its compressive strength of 49.6N\/mm² and BS 7533 classification mean it's well-specified for vehicle loading. It's been used on high-traffic public realm schemes including Birmingham Bullring and Liverpool Lime Street Station — so domestic driveway loads are well within its capability. Joints must be at least 5mm wide and 20mm deep, and the paving must be laid on an appropriate non-permeable bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat joint width is required for Flowpoint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Standard requires a minimum joint width of \u003cstrong\u003e5mm\u003c\/strong\u003e and a minimum joint depth of \u003cstrong\u003e20mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. It can be used in joints up to 50mm wide and 200mm deep in a single application. If your joints are narrower than 5mm — for example on smooth porcelain or close-cut natural stone — consider Flowpoint Fine (suitable from 2mm) or Flowpoint Smooth (from 3mm). If you're unsure which grade is right for your joint size, \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003egive us a call\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll advise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you apply Flowpoint paving grout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint is applied as a poured slurry — it's faster and far simpler than traditional hand-pointing. The basic process is: pre-soak or pre-seal the paving, mix one bag of Flowpoint with 4.25 litres of clean water for 3–5 minutes using a paddle mixer, pour the slurry onto the paving, and spread it across the surface using a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/neoprene-squeegee-for-paving-grout-bundle-deal\"\u003eneoprene squeegee\u003c\/a\u003e to force it into the joints. Once the grout begins to firm up (typically 10–30 minutes depending on temperature), use the thumb test to confirm it's ready, then clean off the surface thoroughly with a brush and plenty of clean water. You must keep the surface misted throughout if not using a temporary pre-sealer. Full step-by-step guidance is in the Mixing \u0026amp; Application tab above, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reel\/864983001791378\"\u003ethis short video\u003c\/a\u003e from a customer shows it in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Flowpoint with darker limestone such as black limestone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint can cause oxidisation on some darker limestones such as black limestone — however, the new generation of temporary pre-sealers, such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep Temporary Sealer\u003c\/a\u003e, prevent this by creating a protective barrier between the stone and the grout.

Full curing at 20°C takes 24–48 hours, though it may continue to gain strength over several days. \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/when-is-it-too-cold-to-grout\"\u003eColder conditions\u003c\/a\u003e extend curing time; \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/10-tips-for-grouting-in-warm-weather\"\u003ewarmer temperatures accelerate it\u003c\/a\u003e.

It must always be applied on a solid, non-permeable bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Flowpoint be used in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — you can use Flowpoint in light rain, but ensure the paving joints don't fill up with rainwater. Applying on a damp day can actually be beneficial, as it slows the set and gives you more working time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill Flowpoint stain my paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint is designed to be stain-free and resistant to efflorescence — provided it's applied correctly. Staining is not a product fault; it's typically caused by skipping a paving primer, not misting slabs during application, or over-watering the mix.

This makes it the preferred choice for porcelain paving, which typically has tighter joints, as well as for any natural stone or setts where a finer finish is desired.

Too many contractors start washing off when the product starts to dry on the slabs. You need to keep the slabs damp with a mist of water so it doesn't go off on them too soon.

Unlike Standard, ECO and Smooth — which all have a visible aggregate finish — Flowpoint Fine has no visible aggregate at all, producing a super-smooth, tile-like joint. It fills joints from just 2mm, uses a different water ratio (3.4L per 20kg vs 4.25L per 25kg), and comes in a 20kg tub rather than a 25kg bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Charcoal over Natural Grey for Flowpoint Fine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharcoal creates a bolder, more defined joint that works particularly well with charcoal or grey porcelain, granite setts, slate and darker natural stones.

Ensure that there is no rain forecast for at least 12 hours after installation. If there is a possibility of rain shortly after installation, cover the area with a tarpaulin sheet and remove it as soon as the threat of rain is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall ProJoint PolySweep when the average air temperature is above 5°C for a minimum of 48 hours after installation. Always wear appropriate PPE, including eyewear and a dust mask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaving should be laid on a permeable bedding mix, as PolySweep cures when it dries out — water and rain must have a route of escape. Check that joints are cleaned out to a minimum depth of 20mm, observing a minimum joint width of 1mm. Ensure paving is firmly bedded and stable before filling joints. Remove all weeds and debris before application to ensure the joints bond properly and prevent weeds from regrowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistribute PolySweep evenly across the surface.

After the joints are filled, sweep excess product from the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor block pavers, run a vibrating plate compactor (wacker plate) over the blocks to allow the vibrations to consolidate sand particles into the joints and reduce voids. For paving slabs and setts, attach a rubber mat onto a wacker plate to vibrate sand particles into voids. Alternatively, a rubber mallet with a piece of wood will suffice. Sweep additional sand into the joints if necessary so that the height of the sand is approximately 3mm below the pavement surface — do not overfill joints. Remove excess product from the surface. Repeat compaction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter the joints are filled, sweep the surface with a soft brush, then use a leaf blower held at a slight angle but close to parallel to the surface to remove any excess sand or dust. Without a leaf blower, brush the surface multiple times to remove all excess sand and dust. Take care not to remove sand from the joints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing a hose, gently mist the paving — no more than 45m² at a time. Allow water to absorb for approximately 5 minutes and repeat the misting process three to four times, each time gradually adding more volume of water. It is crucial that the water penetrates through the whole joint, not just the top layer. The last watering should be sufficient to rinse off any residual material from the surface. Check moisture depth in a joint with a screwdriver to confirm full penetration — replace sand and apply additional misting only if water hasn't penetrated fully.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny residual surface water caught in the texture of the pavers or natural stone should be blown off with a leaf blower or removed with a soft brush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeave to cure. ProJoint PolySweep contains no Portland cement. Cure times are dependent on temperature and humidity — as a guide, paving can accept traffic after 24 hours.

Ensure the surface of the paving is clean prior to application. A suitable paving cleaner can be used to remove dirt, algae and dust from the joints and pavers. Following cleaning, make sure the pavers and joints are completely dry before installing PolySweep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not apply this product to any wet or damp surface — the polymeric sand will adhere to the surface and is difficult to remove. When pressure washing, keep the nozzle at least 30cm away from the surface at 40 degrees to the pavers and do not target the joints. Pressure washer surface cleaners are the most effective way of cleaning pavers without harming the joints.

It's one of the easiest ways to grout a patio without traditional sand and cement pointing — no specialist skills or mixing equipment required. See the full 4-step guide above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do you apply resin jointing compound?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoint-It Simple is not a resin jointing compound — it's a cement-free, polymer-bonded brush-in paving jointing mortar. This is an important distinction: resin jointing compounds such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/joint-it-dynamic-22kg-two-part-resin-paving-jointing-system\"\u003eJoint-It Dynamic\u003c\/a\u003e involve a two-part chemical curing reaction and are suitable for both permeable and non-permeable bases.

The key principle is to keep the paving thoroughly saturated throughout the entire application — soak it before you begin, keep re-wetting as you brush the product in, and soak it again once the joints are filled. Using plenty of water is essential: if the surface dries out during application, the product may not activate properly. There is no such thing as too much water at the brushing-in stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does Joint-It Simple take to dry?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoint-It Simple begins to harden within approximately 4 hours under normal conditions. It can be walked on after approximately 24 hours. You should not pressure-wash the joints for at least 30 days to allow full curing. Temperature and weather conditions will affect these timings — colder or wetter weather will slow the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does Joint-It Simple last?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoint-It describes Simple as being formulated to stand the test of time and remain in the joints for many years. The product is used by both professionals and homeowners who return to it repeatedly because it holds — and the customer reviews above reflect that. We don't publish a guaranteed lifespan figure because Joint-It don't specify one, and longevity depends on factors like joint depth, sub-base quality, traffic and maintenance.

It's a ready-to-use, ready-mixed formulation that comes straight out of the bucket with no measuring, no mixing and no specialist skills required. You just need a hard-bristle brush, a soft-bristle brush and clean water. It's been designed specifically to make patio jointing straightforward for both professionals and homeowners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan Joint-It Simple be applied in the rain?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Joint-It Simple is an all-weather paving grout that can be applied in light rain. In fact, keeping the paving surface wet throughout application is essential to the process, so a light drizzle is no problem at all. You should avoid heavy rain during the initial curing period once the product is in the joints, but general damp or overcast conditions are fine. This makes it a genuinely practical paving jointing compound for patios in the UK climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs Joint-It Simple suitable for permeable paving?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Joint-It Simple is specifically a permeable paving jointing compound. It is water-permeable, meaning it allows rainwater to drain through the joints into the ground below. It must always be laid on a permeable, free-draining sub-base — a 6:1 sand and cement base is recommended. Do not use Joint-It Simple on an impermeable or solid concrete base.

For porous or delicate stone types — such as limestone, flamed or honed granite, black granite and Egyptian stone — we recommend pre-sealing before application to prevent staining. Always test on a small area first if you're unsure about your specific stone type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs Joint-It Simple weed resistant?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — once cured, Joint-It Simple forms a hard, dense joint that prevents weed growth.

I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. The FAQ answers below come from the questions we're asked every single day.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Joint-It Dynamic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoint-It Dynamic is a two-part resin paving jointing compound made from resin, hardener and high-quality coloured aggregate. It creates a strong, flexible and durable joint for natural stone, concrete and porcelain paving. It works on both permeable and non-permeable bases and can be applied in the rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best resin paving grout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best resin paving grout depends on the paving, bedding system and intended use. Joint-It Dynamic is one of the most versatile choices because it works on both permeable and non-permeable bases, is suitable for natural stone, concrete and porcelain, and can be applied in wet weather — making it a strong all-round option for UK paving projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best paving jointing compound?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best paving jointing compound depends on the project. Joint-It Dynamic is a strong all-round option for natural stone, concrete and porcelain paving because it works on both permeable and non-permeable bases, can be applied in the rain, and produces a durable, weed-free, frost-resistant joint. If you're not sure which product is right for your paving and bedding system, \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003egive us a call\u003c\/a\u003e — we'll help you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you grout paving in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith most paving grouts, the answer is no — but with Joint-It Dynamic, yes. Because the formulation is water-permeable and the application requires the paving to be kept saturated throughout, light to moderate rainfall during application is not a problem at all. In fact, it's one of the reasons Joint-It Dynamic is such a popular choice with UK contractors and homeowners: you don't need to wait for a dry day. Avoid applying in heavy downpours during the waiting and cleaning stage, as this may affect timing — but for most British weather conditions, Dynamic is good to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat paving grout can be applied in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoint-It Dynamic is one of the very few resin paving jointing compounds that can be applied in wet weather. Because it requires the paving to be saturated with water throughout application, light to moderate rain is actually no problem — and certainly not a reason to stop work. If you're looking for a paving grout that can be applied in the rain and works on both permeable and non-permeable paving, Joint-It Dynamic is the product we'd recommend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan resin paving grout be used in wet weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost resin paving grouts are sensitive to moisture and should not be applied in wet conditions. Joint-It Dynamic is different — it's specifically formulated to work in wet weather, because the application process requires the paving to remain saturated with water throughout. Light to moderate rainfall during grouting is not an issue. It's one of the few resin paving jointing compounds genuinely suitable for use in the British climate, whatever the weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best paving jointing compound for wet weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our experience, Joint-It Dynamic is one of the best paving jointing compounds for wet weather conditions. Unlike cement-based or standard sweep-in products that need dry conditions to cure properly, Joint-It Dynamic is a two-part resin system that loves water — the paving must be kept saturated throughout application. Light rain? No problem. It's the product we reach for when a customer needs to get the job done regardless of the British weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Joint-It Dynamic be applied in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — and this is one of its most practical advantages for UK conditions. Because Joint-It Dynamic loves water and requires the paving to be saturated throughout application, light to moderate rainfall is no problem at all. You don't need to wait for a dry day to get started. Heavy rain during the waiting or cleaning period may affect timing, but the application itself is rain-friendly. It's one of the reasons contractors and DIYers in the UK rate it so highly — and why we consider it one of the best paving jointing compounds for wet weather use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Joint-It Dynamic be used on non-permeable bedding?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Joint-It Dynamic can be used on non-permeable bedding. This is one of its most significant advantages over many standard brush-in jointing compounds, which are only suitable for permeable bases. Whether your paving is laid on a permeable free-draining bed or a conventional non-permeable\/impermeable bed, Joint-It Dynamic works on both — making it one of the best resin grouts for non-permeable paving available. This is particularly useful for porcelain on an impermeable bed, where many sweep-in systems simply cannot be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Joint-It Dynamic a paving grout suitable for any bed type?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Joint-It Dynamic is one of the very few resin paving grouts suitable for any bed type. It works equally well on permeable paving (where water drains through the joints) and non-permeable paving (where water drains across the surface). If you're unsure which bed type you have, \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003egive us a call\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll help you work it out before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Joint-It Dynamic on both permeable and non-permeable paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — this is one of Joint-It Dynamic's key advantages. It works on both permeable (free-draining) and non-permeable (impermeable) bases, making it one of the most versatile jointing compounds available. This is particularly significant for porcelain installations on a conventional impermeable bed, where many sweep-in systems cannot be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Joint-It Dynamic be used with porcelain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Joint-It Dynamic can be used with porcelain tiles and paving slabs, and it's particularly well-suited to porcelain on non-permeable bases where many sweep-in systems cannot be used. We recommend pre-sealing porcelain with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/joint-it-pro-seal-eco-friendly-sealer-for-natural-stone-concrete\"\u003eJoint-It Pro Seal\u003c\/a\u003e before application. Keep both the paving surface and the product saturated with clean water throughout application to help Dynamic flow into the joints more easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best resin grout for porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoint-It Dynamic is one of the best resin grout options for porcelain paving. It can be used on porcelain over both permeable and non-permeable bases — a significant advantage, as many sweep-in systems cannot be used on non-permeable installations. We strongly recommend pre-sealing porcelain with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/joint-it-pro-seal-eco-friendly-sealer-for-natural-stone-concrete\"\u003eJoint-It Pro Seal\u003c\/a\u003e before application to help prevent staining, resin haze and surface residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Joint-It Dynamic be used on natural stone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Joint-It Dynamic is suitable for natural stone including sandstone, limestone, slate, granite, quartz and other suitable paving. Pre-sealing is recommended for porous and sensitive stones such as limestone, slate, black granite, flamed granite and honed granite.

It works on both permeable and non-permeable bases and can be applied in the rain — making it a practical choice for most UK natural stone paving projects.

It provides a strong, flexible resin joint suitable for patios, paths and driveways. As with all paving types, joints must be a minimum of 5mm wide and 20mm deep and the paving must be firmly bedded before application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you over-water Joint-It Dynamic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — you cannot add too much water to the paving during application. The formulation is water-permeable and the paving must remain absolutely saturated throughout. Insufficient water is the more common problem. If the paving dries out, the resin can be drawn into the stone, causing temporary colour enhancement. This will weather off over approximately 12–16 weeks, but it's easily avoided by keeping the paving thoroughly wet throughout application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much water do I add to the mix?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd \u003cstrong\u003e2 litres of clean water\u003c\/strong\u003e per 22kg tub, after mixing the resin and hardener into the aggregate. Use the empty Part A and Part B bottles to measure the water — this also rinses any residual resin and hardener from the bottles into the mix. Note: some sources quote up to 4 litres, but 2 litres is the consistently stated manufacturer's standard mixing quantity and is what we recommend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to pre-seal my paving before using Joint-It Dynamic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — we strongly recommend pre-sealing your flags, slabs and paving before applying Joint-It Dynamic, to avoid any natural impurities being drawn out of the stone by the jointing process. Pre-sealing is recommended for porcelain, limestone, slate, black granite, flamed granite, honed granite and any other porous stone. Apply two coats of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/joint-it-pro-seal-eco-friendly-sealer-for-natural-stone-concrete\"\u003eJoint-It Pro Seal\u003c\/a\u003e to dry paving, applying the second coat before the first has fully dried into the stone. Ensure the sealant is fully dried in before beginning application of Joint-It Dynamic. Flamed, honed or Egyptian stone should be sealed on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Joint-It Dynamic leave a sticky residue?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn some cases, due to the strength of Joint-It Dynamic, it may leave a sticky residue on the paving surface after application. This should weather off within a few days.

This will weather off within a few weeks (sometimes longer depending on stone type and conditions). There is no need to be concerned — the stone will return to its original colour. To avoid this, keep the paving saturated throughout and pre-seal with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/joint-it-pro-seal-eco-friendly-sealer-for-natural-stone-concrete\"\u003eJoint-It Pro Seal\u003c\/a\u003e before application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Joint-It Dynamic weed resistant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — once cured, Joint-It Dynamic forms a non-porous resin joint designed to resist weed growth. Correct joint preparation and installation are important for long-term performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Joint-It Dynamic frost resistant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Joint-It Dynamic is designed to resist frost and temperature fluctuations once fully cured. It also forms a flexible joint designed to resist cracking and shrinking. Do not apply if frost is forecast within 12 hours of application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Joint-It Dynamic power-washer and pressure-washer resistant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Joint-It Dynamic is designed to resist both power washing and pressure washing once fully cured. We recommend waiting 30 days after installation before using a power washer or pressure washer to ensure the grout has reached full strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat temperatures can Joint-It Dynamic be used in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not use Joint-It Dynamic if the temperature is forecast to drop close to or below freezing within 12 hours of application — the water will freeze before the product can cure. In very hot conditions (above 30°C), wait until the cooler evening or early morning, as water will evaporate too quickly to allow you to brush the product into the joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen can I walk on the paving and when can I power wash or pressure wash it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow approximately \u003cstrong\u003e24 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e before foot traffic — always test the joints before allowing traffic as temperature and weather affect curing. For power washing or pressure washing, allow \u003cstrong\u003e30 days\u003c\/strong\u003e from application. Treat 24 hours as initial pedestrian use and 30 days as the full-cure benchmark for maintenance purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat colours does Joint-It Dynamic come in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoint-It Dynamic is available in three UV-stable colours: Buff, Grey and Black. The colour of the lid on the bucket denotes the colour of the product inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much does Joint-It Dynamic cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single 22kg tub covers approximately 18m² — but this is a nominal figure. Joint width, depth and slab dimensions have a very large effect on actual consumption. Wider or deeper joints will reduce coverage significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Joint-It Dynamic suitable for driveways?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Joint-It Dynamic is suitable for very high traffic areas including driveways. The paving and underlying construction must be suitably designed and installed for the expected vehicle loading. Joints must be a minimum of 5mm wide and 20mm deep. Allow approximately 24 hours before foot traffic and 30 days before power washing or pressure washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Joint-It Dynamic suitable for V joints?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — Joint-It Dynamic is not suitable for V joints or bevelled slabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I store leftover mixed Joint-It Dynamic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — once Part A and Part B have been mixed with the aggregate, the material cannot be stored or reused. Mix only what you can apply in one session. Unopened tubs have a shelf life of at least 12 months when stored in a cool, dry place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eJoint-It Dynamic vs Joint-It Simple\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoint-It Dynamic is a two-part resin system designed for both permeable and non-permeable bases, with a minimum 5mm joint width. Joint-It Simple is a ready-to-use brush-in product designed for permeable bases only and requires no mixing. Dynamic is the more versatile choice where a two-part resin system or non-permeable installation is required.

Unlike traditional cement pointing, it is designed to resist weeds, frost, cracking and power washing once cured. It is particularly useful where a durable, low-maintenance resin joint is required — and unlike cement mortar, it can be applied in wet weather and won't shrink or crack in freeze-thaw conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eJoint-It Dynamic vs resin jointing compound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoint-It Dynamic is itself a resin-based paving jointing compound, but it uses a two-part resin and hardener system that chemically cures after mixing. This provides a stronger, more flexible and more durable joint than many single-component resin products, and allows Dynamic to be used on both permeable and non-permeable paving bases — something many standard resin jointing compounds cannot offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat maintenance does Joint-It Dynamic need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoint-It Dynamic is low maintenance, but all patios benefit from some annual attention — particularly in shaded areas or after winter. Allow 30 days before power washing or pressure washing. A regular clean with a suitable patio cleaner will keep your joints looking fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you'd like to know more about Joint-It Dynamic, which colour is right for your paving, or whether it's the right product for your project — don't hesitate to \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eget in touch\u003c\/a\u003e or call us on 0330 122 1025.

Once fully cured, TITAN is resistant to pressure washing. Use a fan nozzle, keep the nozzle at a sensible distance and avoid concentrating high pressure directly onto the joints. Keep the pressure washer at a 45-degree angle to your paving slabs to avoid damaging the joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many tubs of ProJoint TITAN do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoverage depends on the paving size and joint width and depth. A 22.5kg tub can typically cover around 8–10m², but large-format paving with narrow joints can achieve considerably higher coverage. See the coverage tables above for specific estimates, or \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact us\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll be happy to help with an accurate calculation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to pre-seal the paving slabs before using Nexus ProJoint TITAN?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot always — but we highly recommend it for certain paving types, especially porous or textured surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePre-seal when using:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✅ Porous Natural Stone – Sandstone, limestone, and some granites may absorb resin, causing staining.\u003cbr\u003e✅ Textured or Riven Surfaces – These can trap excess grout, making cleaning difficult.\u003cbr\u003e✅ Lightly Coloured or Polished Stones – To prevent potential discolouration from resin residues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePre-sealing may not be needed for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e❌ Non-Porous or Dense Stones – Some granites, basalts and quartzites are less likely to absorb resin.\u003cbr\u003e❌ Smooth, Non-Absorbent Concrete Slabs – These usually clean easily without sealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf in doubt, always do a small test area first. And if you're less experienced with paving, a pre-grout sealant like \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nexus-pavecare-pre-grout-stone-porcelain-paving-sealer\"\u003eNexus ProJoint Pre-Grout Stone \u0026amp; Porcelain Sealer\u003c\/a\u003e washes away quickly after application and gives you real peace of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I pre-seal my paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend pre-sealing porous natural stone, textured or riven paving and light-coloured or polished surfaces. Always test a small area first if you're unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I prepare the area for grouting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure the paving is firmly bedded and stable, with clean joints at least 5mm wide and 25mm deep. Remove all dirt and debris, then thoroughly wet the paving before applying TITAN. Take care to ensure no soil or dirt is left on the surface or walked onto the paving during application — once the resin cures, anything trapped in it will stay there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat tools do I need to apply ProJoint TITAN?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will need clean water, a paddle mixer, rubber squeegee and wet medium-soft brush. A finishing bar or trowel can also be used if required. Pre-grout sealer may be needed depending on the paving type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the ideal temperature for applying ProJoint TITAN?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, apply TITAN when the temperature is between 3°C and 25°C. Avoid very cold or frosty conditions below 3°C, and avoid applying in high heat above 25°C, as both can affect curing and leave joints tacky or not fully set. Ideally, aim for around 15–20°C. Take particular care on dark paving in direct sunlight, as surface temperatures can be significantly higher than air temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I apply ProJoint TITAN in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend applying TITAN in dry conditions. Heavy rain during application can affect the finish and curing process, so protect the area if rain is expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow can I minimise resin sheen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThoroughly wet the paving before application, use a suitable pre-grout sealer where required and remove excess grout promptly using a wet medium-soft brush at a 45° angle. Continue cleaning the paving before the resin cures. The sheen is temporary — with weathering, foot traffic and time it will typically fade fully within 2–3 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the resin sheen on my paving after applying TITAN — will it fade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the high epoxy resin content, you'll get a slight sheen that darkens and enhances the natural surface colours and textures of your paving. This is particularly noticeable on grey paving such as granite, so a test area is always advised. Spread the mix across the total paving area to ensure any effect is uniform. The sheen is temporary — with weathering, foot traffic and time (around 1 week to 6 months) it will disappear, typically fading fully within 2–3 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I apply ProJoint TITAN?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThoroughly wet the paving, add the complete hardener to the tub and mix for approximately 3 minutes until a smooth, free-flowing slurry forms. Spread the slurry over the wet paving with a rubber squeegee, work it into the joints and leave for 5–15 minutes to allow foaming to disappear. Clean the surface with a wet, medium-soft brush at a 45° angle before the grout cures. Due to its fluid nature, no further compaction of the joint is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does Nexus ProJoint TITAN take to cure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt around 20°C, TITAN can normally accept foot traffic after approximately 12 hours and light vehicle traffic after around 24 hours. Cooler conditions and moisture will extend cure times — don't worry if joints aren't touch-hard within a few days, they'll continue to cure and reach full strength over the coming weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the surface of my paving tacky after applying TITAN?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTacky patches are usually caused by resin residue remaining on the paving surface. This is why it is important to keep the paving wet during application and thoroughly remove excess grout before it cures. If you're already past that point, give us a call and we can recommend a grout haze remover such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/lithofin-mn-power-clean-natural-stone-grout-cleaner\"\u003eLithofin\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the resin layer stay on the paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can take on average between one week to six months for the resinous sheen to disappear. On average it would normally take around 2–3 months to fade fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow can I stop the resin sheen from forming?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend using a sealer such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nexus-pavecare-pre-grout-stone-porcelain-paving-sealer\"\u003eProJoint Pre-Grout\u003c\/a\u003e before pointing your patio or paved area. This sealer provides a barrier which prevents the epoxy from adhering or penetrating into the surface. Using this in conjunction with a wet medium-soft brush at a 45-degree angle to the joints while jointing will eliminate any resin sheen after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the shelf life of ProJoint TITAN?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProJoint TITAN has a 12-month shelf life from the date of manufacture when stored correctly. Store unopened tubs in a cool, dry, frost-free environment. Using the product after the declared storage period may increase the risk of an allergic reaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan leftover mixed TITAN be stored?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — once the hardener has been added and the product mixed, it begins to cure and cannot be stored for later use. Only mix what you can use within the working time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat temperatures can I apply Nexus ProJoint TITAN?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, apply TITAN when the temperature is between 3°C and 25°C. Avoid very cold or frosty conditions below 3°C, and avoid applying in high heat above 25°C, as both can affect curing and leave joints tacky or not fully set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs ProJoint TITAN better than traditional cement pointing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor driveways and higher-traffic areas, TITAN offers clear advantages including high strength, weed resistance, frost resistance and pressure-washer resistance once cured. Traditional mortar pointing can crack, allow weeds, and requires regular maintenance — TITAN is a permanent, weed-free solution that won't need redoing in a year or two. The best jointing product ultimately depends on the paving, bedding system and intended use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs ProJoint TITAN better than standard resin jointing compound?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTITAN is a two-part epoxy resin system designed for higher-strength applications, including vehicular areas up to 10 tonnes. Standard brush-in resin products may be more suitable for pedestrian patios and paths, but for driveways and heavy-traffic areas, TITAN's superior strength and durability make it one of the best resin grouts for paving available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you'd like to know more about ProJoint TITAN, the colours available, or which grout is right for your project — don't hesitate to \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eget in touch\u003c\/a\u003e or call us on 0330 122 1025.

Too many contractors start washing off when the product starts to dry on the slabs. You need to keep the slabs damp with a mist of water so it doesn't go off on them too soon. Always make sure the grout is set in the joint before washing it off. Keep your eye on the firmness of the joint — just with a little thumb test.

I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. The FAQ answers below come from the questions we're asked every single day.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Porcelpoint the same as Flowpoint Fine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're closely related — Porcelpoint has the same strength, joint width range and application method as Flowpoint Fine, but it's been specifically engineered for porcelain paving with enhanced pigments, improved workability and premium elements designed to complement the lighter tones of porcelain. It's also supplied in a 20kg tub rather than a bag, and has a slightly shorter working time (5–15 minutes vs 15–30 minutes for Flowpoint Fine). If you need Natural Grey or Charcoal, use Flowpoint Fine. If you need Stone Grey or Limestone for porcelain, Porcelpoint is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Porcelpoint and how is it different from other Flowpoint grades?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint has been specifically engineered for porcelain paving — it has a super-fine aggregate that is even finer in appearance than Flowpoint Fine, enhanced pigments for porcelain, and fills joints from just 2mm. It's supplied in a 20kg tub rather than a bag, and has a shorter working time of 5–15 minutes, so you need to work quickly and mix one bucket at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Porcelpoint on natural stone as well as porcelain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Porcelpoint works with all types of natural stone and porcelain. For porous or textured stone (slate, black limestone, honed black granite), we recommend using a temporary pre-sealer such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep\u003c\/a\u003e first. Always carry out a small trial area to confirm compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does Porcelpoint take to set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint reaches its initial set in approximately 15 minutes at 20°C. Working time after mixing is only 5–15 minutes — mix one bucket at a time and apply immediately. Warmer temperatures accelerate the set; cooler temperatures slow it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much water do I add to Porcelpoint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd exactly \u003cstrong\u003e3.4 litres of clean water\u003c\/strong\u003e per 20kg tub. Mix for 3–5 minutes until smooth and lump-free. Never add extra water or remix once the grout has begun to set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does Porcelpoint come in a bag inside a bucket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint is supplied as a pre-mixed dry powder in a sealed bag, housed within a 20kg tub. Always check that the colour printed on the bag matches the colour on the lid before you begin mixing — this ensures you're using the correct colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to pre-seal my porcelain before using Porcelpoint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor standard porcelain paving, pre-sealing is not always essential. However, for porous or textured natural stone (slate, black limestone, honed black granite), using a temporary pre-sealer such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep Temporary Sealer\u003c\/a\u003e is strongly recommended to prevent grout haze. Always carry out a small trial area first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Porcelpoint permeable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — Porcelpoint produces an impermeable, rigid joint. It must be used on a solid, bound, non-permeable bed. Ensure your patio has adequate fall for surface water drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Porcelpoint be used on driveways?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Porcelpoint is suitable for patios, paths, paved areas, driveways, town centre pedestrian schemes and carriageways.

Too many contractors start washing off when the product starts to dry on the slabs. You need to keep the slabs damp with a mist of water so it doesn't go off on them too soon. Always make sure the grout is set in the joint before washing it off. Keep your eye on the firmness of the joint — just with a little thumb test. Once firm, then begin washing off.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGARETH WILSON — Hard Landscaping Expert \u0026amp; RHS Award Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Some landscapers are stuck in their ways and they don't like change. Their attitude is, 'I've been doing this for 20 years… Why should I change now?'

I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. The FAQ answers below come from the questions we're asked every single day.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Porcelpoint the same as Flowpoint Fine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're closely related — Porcelpoint has the same strength, joint width range and application method as Flowpoint Fine, but it's been specifically engineered for porcelain paving with enhanced pigments, improved workability and premium elements designed to complement the lighter tones of porcelain. It's also supplied in a 20kg tub rather than a bag, and has a slightly shorter working time (5–15 minutes vs 15–30 minutes for Flowpoint Fine). If you need Natural Grey or Charcoal, use Flowpoint Fine. If you need Limestone for porcelain, Porcelpoint is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Limestone over Stone Grey in Porcelpoint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimestone is a warm, creamy tone that works beautifully alongside cream, buff and light-toned porcelain, natural limestone, Cotswold Stone and buff sandstone. If your paving has warm, light tones, Limestone will give you a much more natural, colour-matched joint than Stone Grey. If you're unsure which colour suits your paving, \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003esend us a photo\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll advise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Porcelpoint on natural stone as well as porcelain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Porcelpoint works with all types of natural stone and porcelain. For porous or textured stone (slate, black limestone, honed black granite), we recommend using a temporary pre-sealer such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep\u003c\/a\u003e first. Always carry out a small trial area to confirm compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does Porcelpoint take to set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint reaches its initial set in approximately 15 minutes at 20°C. Working time after mixing is only 5–15 minutes — mix one bucket at a time and apply immediately. Warmer temperatures accelerate the set; cooler temperatures slow it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much water do I add to Porcelpoint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd exactly \u003cstrong\u003e3.4 litres of clean water\u003c\/strong\u003e per 20kg tub. Mix for 3–5 minutes until smooth and lump-free. Never add extra water or remix once the grout has begun to set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does Porcelpoint come in a bag inside a bucket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint is supplied as a pre-mixed dry powder in a sealed bag, housed within a 20kg tub. Always check that the colour printed on the bag matches the colour on the lid before you begin mixing — this ensures you're using the correct colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to pre-seal my porcelain before using Porcelpoint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor standard porcelain paving, pre-sealing is not always essential. However, for porous or textured natural stone (slate, black limestone, honed black granite), using a temporary pre-sealer such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep Temporary Sealer\u003c\/a\u003e is strongly recommended to prevent grout haze. Always carry out a small trial area first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Porcelpoint permeable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — Porcelpoint produces an impermeable, rigid joint. It must be used on a solid, bound, non-permeable bed. Ensure your patio has adequate fall for surface water drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Porcelpoint be used on driveways?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Porcelpoint is suitable for patios, paths, paved areas, driveways, town centre pedestrian schemes and carriageways. It accepts vehicular traffic after just 4 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the shelf life of Porcelpoint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 months from the date of manufacture (printed on the tub), for unopened buckets stored indoors, off the ground, away from drafts, cold and damp, between 5°C and 30°C. High temperatures and humidity will reduce shelf life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat colours does Porcelpoint come in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint is available in two colours: Limestone (this listing) and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ultrascape-porcelpoint-flowable-porcelain-grout-stone-grey\"\u003eStone Grey\u003c\/a\u003e.

Too many contractors start washing off when the product starts to dry on the slabs. You need to keep the slabs damp with a mist of water so it doesn't go off on them too soon. Always make sure Flowpoint is set in the joint before washing it off. Keep your eye on the firmness of the joint — just with a little thumb test.

The FAQ answers below come from the questions we're asked every single day.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Flowpoint Premium and how is it different from standard Flowpoint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Premium is the upgraded version of Flowpoint Standard — same proven rapid-set slurry technology, but available in three additional colours (Stone Grey, Limestone and Yorkstone) that aren't in the Standard range. The formulation and performance are essentially the same: joints from 5mm, sets in 15–30 minutes, lasts up to 40 years, conforms to BS 7533.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Stone Grey over Limestone or Yorkstone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone Grey is our most versatile colour — a neutral mid-tone grey that works with almost any paving without looking too dark or too light. It's particularly well suited to grey porcelain, sandstone, limestone and Indian Stone. If your paving has cooler or neutral tones, Stone Grey is usually the safest choice.

Warmer temperatures accelerate the set; cooler temperatures slow it down. Use the thumb test — once the joint is firm and leaves only a slight thumbprint, begin washing off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Flowpoint Premium permeable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — Flowpoint Premium is a non-permeable, cementitious-based grout. It must always be applied on a solid, non-permeable bed, and your patio should have adequate fall for drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you use Flowpoint Premium in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — light rain is fine, but ensure the joints don't fill with rainwater before you begin. A damp day can actually be beneficial as it slows the set and gives you more working time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to pre-seal my slabs before using Flowpoint Premium Stone Grey?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf using a temporary pre-grout sealer\u003c\/strong\u003e (such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nexus-pavecare-pre-grout-stone-porcelain-paving-sealer\"\u003eNexus ProJoint Pre-Grout\u003c\/a\u003e): do \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e pre-soak the paving.

Their attitude is, 'I've been doing this for 20 years… Why should I change now?' And some are quite rightly scared when they consider pouring Flowpoint onto their slabs — at the end of the day, you are pouring a cementitious slurry directly onto the pavers. It goes against everything that you've been taught.

I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. The FAQ answers below come from the questions we're asked every single day — so if yours isn't there, just give us a call.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Flowpoint Premium and how is it different from Flowpoint Standard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Premium uses the same proven rapid-set formula as Flowpoint Standard but is available in three new colours — Limestone, Stone Grey and Yorkstone — developed for projects where colour-matching the grout to the stone matters. The performance, mixing and application are identical; the difference is purely in the colour palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the Limestone colour so significant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil now, contractors working with pale natural stones — Cotswold limestone, Bath Stone, cream sandstone, travertine, Yorkstone — had to choose between Natural Grey (often too cool) or Charcoal (far too dark). The Limestone colour fills that gap beautifully, giving a warm, natural finish that blends with the stone rather than contrasting against it. It's been one of the most requested additions to the Flowpoint range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Flowpoint Premium Limestone with black limestone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'd advise caution. Flowpoint can cause oxidisation on some darker limestones such as black limestone — and the Limestone colour would not be a suitable match in any case. If you're working with darker stones, \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003egive us a call\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll recommend the right product and approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does Flowpoint Premium last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen applied correctly, Flowpoint Premium can last beyond 30–40 years without the need to re-grout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does Flowpoint Premium take to set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Premium sets in 15–30 minutes at 20°C and can be walked on within one hour.

It must always be applied on a solid, non-permeable bed. Ensure your patio has adequate fall for water drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you use Flowpoint Premium in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — light rain is fine, but ensure the joints don't fill with rainwater before you begin. A damp day can actually be beneficial as it slows the set and gives you more working time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to pre-seal my slabs before using Flowpoint Premium?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf using a temporary pre-grout sealer\u003c\/strong\u003e (such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nexus-pavecare-pre-grout-stone-porcelain-paving-sealer\"\u003eNexus ProJoint Pre-Grout\u003c\/a\u003e): do \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e pre-soak the paving.

Too many contractors start washing off when the product starts to dry on the slabs. You need to keep the slabs damp with a mist of water so it doesn't go off on them too soon. Always make sure Flowpoint is set in the joint before washing it off. Keep your eye on the firmness of the joint — just with a little thumb test. Once firm, then begin washing off.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGARETH WILSON — Hard Landscaping Expert \u0026amp; RHS Award Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Some landscapers are stuck in their ways and they don't like change. Their attitude is, 'I've been doing this for 20 years… Why should I change now?' And some are quite rightly scared when they consider pouring Flowpoint onto their slabs — at the end of the day, you are pouring a cementitious slurry directly onto the pavers.

I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. The FAQ answers below come from the questions we're asked every single day.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Flowpoint Premium Smooth and how is it different from Flowpoint Premium Standard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Premium Smooth has a finer aggregate than Flowpoint Premium Standard, which means it can fill joints from just 3mm rather than 5mm. It's the go-to choice for fine-jointed porcelain and any paving where a smoother, more refined joint finish is needed. Performance is otherwise the same: sets in 15–30 minutes, lasts up to 40 years, conforms to BS 7533.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes Stone Grey different from other grey grouts on the market?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Premium Smooth Stone Grey is a genuinely pure grey — many grouts marketed as grey are actually a mix of black, beige and limestone pigments. Flowpoint Premium Smooth Stone Grey has been specifically developed to give the purest grey possible, making it particularly effective with contemporary grey porcelain and cool-toned natural stone where colour accuracy matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Stone Grey over Limestone or Yorkstone in the Smooth range?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone Grey is our most versatile Smooth colour — a pure, neutral mid-tone grey that works with almost any paving without looking too dark or too light. It's particularly well suited to grey porcelain, sandstone, limestone and Indian Stone. If your paving has cooler or neutral tones, Stone Grey is usually the safest choice. If you're unsure, \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003esend us a photo\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll advise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Flowpoint Premium Smooth Stone Grey with black limestone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint can cause oxidisation on some darker limestones such as black limestone — however, using a temporary pre-sealer such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep Temporary Sealer\u003c\/a\u003e prevents this.

Warmer temperatures accelerate the set; cooler temperatures slow it down. Use the thumb test — once the joint is firm and leaves only a slight thumbprint, begin washing off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Flowpoint Premium Smooth permeable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — Flowpoint Premium Smooth is a non-permeable, cementitious-based grout. It must always be applied on a solid, non-permeable bed, and your patio should have adequate fall for drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you use Flowpoint Premium Smooth in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — light rain is fine, but ensure the joints don't fill with rainwater before you begin.

I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. The FAQ answers below come from the questions we're asked every single day — so if yours isn't there, just give us a call.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Flowpoint Premium Smooth and how is it different from other Flowpoint grades?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Premium Smooth combines two things: the finer aggregate of Flowpoint Smooth (which allows it to fill joints from just 3mm, compared to 5mm for Standard) and the colour palette of Flowpoint Premium (Limestone, Stone Grey and Yorkstone). It's the ideal choice when you need both a tight joint and a colour-matched finish — particularly for pale natural stone and porcelain where Natural Grey or Charcoal would look too stark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the Limestone colour so significant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil now, contractors working with pale natural stones — Cotswold limestone, Bath Stone, cream sandstone, travertine, Yorkstone — had to choose between Natural Grey (often too cool) or Charcoal (far too dark). The Limestone colour fills that gap beautifully, giving a warm, natural finish that blends with the stone rather than contrasting against it. Combined with the finer aggregate of the Smooth grade, it's the complete solution for pale stone and porcelain with narrow joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Flowpoint Premium Smooth Limestone with porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Premium Smooth is an excellent choice for porcelain paving, particularly in cream, buff or warm-toned colourways. Its finer aggregate flows cleanly into the narrow joints typical of porcelain slabs without bridging or leaving voids. We also strongly recommend using a temporary pre-sealer such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep\u003c\/a\u003e before grouting, as porcelain can be prone to grout haze if the surface isn't protected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Flowpoint Premium Smooth Limestone with black limestone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'd advise caution on two counts: Flowpoint can cause oxidisation on some darker limestones such as black limestone, and the Limestone colour would not be a suitable match in any case. If you're working with darker stones, \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003egive us a call\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll recommend the right product and approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does Flowpoint Premium Smooth last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen applied correctly, Flowpoint Premium Smooth can last beyond 30–40 years without the need to re-grout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does Flowpoint Premium Smooth take to set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Premium Smooth sets in 15–30 minutes at 20°C and can be walked on within one hour.

Ensure that there is no rain forecast for at least 12 hours after installation.

Always wear appropriate PPE, including eyewear and a dust mask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaving should be laid on a permeable bedding mix, as PolySweep cures when it dries out — water and rain must have a route of escape. Check that joints are cleaned out to a minimum depth of 20mm, observing a minimum joint width of 1mm. Ensure paving is firmly bedded and stable before filling joints. Remove all weeds and debris before application to ensure the joints bond properly and prevent weeds from regrowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistribute PolySweep evenly across the surface. Sweep sand into joints until full, being careful not to push the product over long distances on the surface. After the joints are filled, sweep excess product from the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor block pavers, run a vibrating plate compactor (wacker plate) over the blocks to allow the vibrations to consolidate sand particles into the joints and reduce voids. For paving slabs and setts, attach a rubber mat onto a wacker plate to vibrate sand particles into voids. Alternatively, a rubber mallet with a piece of wood will suffice. Sweep additional sand into the joints if necessary so that the height of the sand is approximately 3mm below the pavement surface — do not overfill joints. Remove excess product from the surface. Repeat compaction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter the joints are filled, sweep the surface with a soft brush, then use a leaf blower held at a slight angle but close to parallel to the surface to remove any excess sand or dust. Without a leaf blower, brush the surface multiple times to remove all excess sand and dust. Take care not to remove sand from the joints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing a hose, gently mist the paving — no more than 45m² at a time. Allow water to absorb for approximately 5 minutes and repeat the misting process three to four times, each time gradually adding more volume of water. It is crucial that the water penetrates through the whole joint, not just the top layer. The last watering should be sufficient to rinse off any residual material from the surface. Check moisture depth in a joint with a screwdriver to confirm full penetration — replace sand and apply additional misting only if water hasn't penetrated fully.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny residual surface water caught in the texture of the pavers or natural stone should be blown off with a leaf blower or removed with a soft brush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeave to cure. ProJoint PolySweep contains no Portland cement. Cure times are dependent on temperature and humidity — as a guide, paving can accept traffic after 24 hours. Cool, damp and overcast conditions will decrease curing speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not apply too much water too fast — allow water to absorb for approximately 5 minutes before repeating the misting process. Ensure the surface of the paving is clean prior to application. A suitable paving cleaner can be used to remove dirt, algae and dust from the joints and pavers. Following cleaning, make sure the pavers and joints are completely dry before installing PolySweep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not apply this product to any wet or damp surface — the polymeric sand will adhere to the surface and is difficult to remove. When pressure washing, keep the nozzle at least 30cm away from the surface at 40 degrees to the pavers and do not target the joints. Pressure washer surface cleaners are the most effective way of cleaning pavers without harming the joints.

I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. The FAQ answers below come from the questions we're asked every single day.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is PolySweep suited to block paving over other products?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolySweep is specially designed for block paving. It bonds perfectly with the narrow, uniform joints found in block paving, ensuring a durable, long-lasting finish that holds up to traffic, frost and pressure washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between PolySweep and other products on the market?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolySweep stands out because of its superior durability and resistance to cracking. It also has a strong bond, making it less prone to washing out than standard kiln-dried or sharp sand alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does PolySweep take to cure?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolySweep typically cures within 24–48 hours, depending on the weather. Once cured, it forms a strong, durable joint. Full strength is reached at 28 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I have to remove all the weeds before application?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — it's important to remove all weeds and debris before applying PolySweep. This ensures the joints bond properly and prevents weeds from regrowing beneath the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I have to use a whacker plate during install?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing a whacker plate is recommended for the best results, as it helps compact the joints and ensures a strong bond. For smaller areas, a rubber mallet and a piece of wood will suffice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI don't have a leaf blower — can I go without one?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA leaf blower is helpful for removing excess product from the paving surface, but it's not essential. A soft brush can also do the trick — just take care not to dislodge the jointing material from the joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long can it not be rained on after application?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolySweep needs to stay dry for at least 24 hours after application. If rain is forecast, it's best to cover the area with a tarpaulin to protect it. Remove the tarpaulin once conditions improve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy should the bedding mortar be permeable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolySweep cures when it dries out, so water must have a route of escape. A permeable sub-base also allows water collecting in the joints to drain freely, stopping it from building up and becoming stagnant — stagnant water can soften the binder over time and encourage algae growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen you say permeable bedding\/base mix, what does this mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 5:1 ratio of sand and cement (or above) is classed as permeable. Using a specific permeable bedding or base mortar is also acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e As sand is a natural product, some minimal colour variance may occur.
