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. 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.

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. Applied before grouting, Patio Prep is a game-changer for darker stones.

Full curing at 20°C 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Flowpoint permeable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — Flowpoint is a non-permeable, cementitious-based grout, meaning it doesn't allow water to pass through once set. 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. Use a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/neoprene-squeegee-for-paving-grout-bundle-deal\"\u003eneoprene squeegee\u003c\/a\u003e, keep slabs misted, and consider a temporary sealer such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep\u003c\/a\u003e for porous or textured stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to pre-seal my slabs before using Flowpoint?\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.

Hard rubber squeegees tend to bounce across uneven or riven paving surfaces — they sit on the high points rather than following the contours of the slab. Neoprene is naturally more pliable, which means it follows the surface of the paving, gets into the riven undulations and small spaces, and pushes the grout fully into the joints rather than skimming over them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rubber squeegee also leaves considerably more grout residue behind on the surface. That excess residue makes it much harder to clean the grout off the paving slabs during wash-off — more scrubbing, more time, and a higher risk of grout drying on the surface before you can remove it. Neoprene removes more grout in fewer passes, which makes the wash-off stage significantly faster and easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is less grout left on the surface before wash-off, cleaner joints, and a faster, easier clean-up. For landscapers and paving contractors working on slurry-grouted patios, that difference in efficiency adds up quickly across a job.

The squeegee is suitable for applying \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nexus-projoint-titan-high-strength-epoxy-paving-grout\"\u003eNexus Pro-Joint Titan\u003c\/a\u003e. Always follow the grout manufacturer’s application and cleaning instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size neoprene squeegee should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe squeegees are available in 450mm, 550mm and 750mm sizes. The 550mm is a popular general-purpose option. The 750mm suits larger areas where faster coverage is a priority, and the 450mm is better for tighter spaces or smaller projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the squeegee standing up?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Use the squeegee with the included 1.4m three-section aluminium pole to apply and clean off slurry grout while working upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it help remove excess grout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The flexible neoprene blade lifts excess grout from the paving surface and helps move it into the joints, reducing the amount left on the surface before wash-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for riven or uneven paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. This is one of the main advantages of neoprene. Its pliable blade follows riven undulations more effectively than a hard rubber squeegee, ensuring grout is pushed into the surface consistently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it make grout clean-up easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The neoprene squeegee removes more excess slurry grout from the paving surface, helping to make the wash-off and clean-up process faster and easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with a handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — this listing includes the neoprene squeegee head and the 3-section aluminium pole. The pole is approximately 1.4m long when assembled and collapses into three sections for easier transport. If you only need a replacement head, see the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/heavy-duty-grout-squeegee-head-only\"\u003eNeoprene Paving Grout Squeegee Head\u003c\/a\u003e listing.

Staining \u0026amp; efflorescence tend to appear post-installation, to avoid staining Granite, Black Limestone or Black Porcelain - it is strongly recommended to seal the paving with a breathable sealant before installation, but definitely prior to pointing with EASYJoint.

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). This will clean the dirty joints, but protect the jointing compound from being removed.

The correct application method depends on whether the bedding below the paving is permeable or impermeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWet Application for a permeable bed\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the Wet Application method where paving is fixed on a permeable, free-draining bedding material. This is commonly used for patios and walkways carrying normal domestic foot traffic. The bedding should support the paving in a continuous solid bed while still allowing water to drain into the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePermeable examples include a suitable permeable bound bedding mortar, compacted sand, or compacted Type 1 stone or combinations of these. Where unbound bedding is used, the paving must be stable and edged on all sides with fixed kerbs or edging stones to prevent movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a bound domestic foot-traffic bed, the supplied guidance gives no more than approximately 6 or 7 parts clean sharp sand to 1 part Portland cement. Add enough water for the bedding mix to hold together when gently squeezed in a gloved hand. Higher cement ratios reduce permeability and can extend PremJoint drying time. Dot-and-dab fixing should not be used, and the sub-base should be properly compacted before the bedding is installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore applying PremJoint, hose down the fixed paving thoroughly and continue using plenty of water during application. This helps saturate the paving, reduce the risk of oils entering the paving, ease brushing, encourage deep joint penetration and wash away excess material. The water must drain through the joints and bedding. PremJoint will remain soft until moisture has left the full depth of the joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDry Application for an impermeable bed\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the Dry Application method where the bedding mortar is impermeable and will not allow application water to drain away. It is also the preferred method for domestic driveways with stronger, higher-cement bedding, existing substrates with poor drainage or drying conditions, and when temperatures are approaching or below 3°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce the paving is firmly secured and set, lightly mist the paving surface without wetting the joints. This helps reduce staining. Open the PremJoint tub, pour the material along the joint and brush it in. Because there is no water to wash the material into the joint, use a pointing trowel and jointing iron to compress it fully into place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eJoint preparation and finishing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll joints should be between 3mm and 20mm wide and at least 20mm deep. A deeper joint can increase strength but may extend drying time. Rake all joints to their full depth so they are free from bedding mortar, debris and other material that could prevent PremJoint contacting the joint walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePremJoint must fill the full width and depth without voids. Voids create permanent weak points. With natural stone that has sloping edges, a channel can be formed in the bedding below the V-shaped joint using the end of a pointing trowel, helping the jointing key into place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrush or tool the fresh joint slightly below the paving surface. The paving, not the jointing, should remain the wear surface. A grouting tool can be run over the face before curing to firm and smooth the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCuring and opening to foot traffic\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePremJoint is air cured. In good drying conditions around 20°C and 65% relative humidity, and where water is free draining, it will firm up in approximately 24–48 hours, which is generally sufficient for foot traffic. It will continue hardening over the following 28 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTemperature, residual moisture, poor drainage, porous paving and freezing conditions all affect the curing rate. Wet-applied joints may take longer if water remains in the base or joint. Once moisture has dried away, curing can resume. Do not treat the 24–48-hour period as a guarantee where site conditions are cooler, damp or poorly draining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCleaning and aftercare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore jointing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemove all dried mortar from the paving before applying PremJoint. Wash away mortar residues and cleaning chemicals completely. Acid-based cleaners can affect both the paving and the jointing, and can cause orange or brown discolouration where iron compounds are present. Limestone, marble and other paving can also be damaged by acid cleaners. Test a discreet area and follow the paving supplier’s advice before using any cleaning product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAfter the joint has cured\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly clean PremJoint after it has fully hardened. For surface dirt and organic debris, use clean soapy water and a gentle domestic pressure-washer spray at the lowest pressure, approximately 100–130 bar. Hold the nozzle at least 30cm from the surface and keep the fan of water at roughly a 45-degree angle to the joint. A soft-bristle sweeping brush can also be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not use motorised or mechanical sweepers, as they are too abrasive for the jointing. Water-based biocides can be used for moss and lichen, but test a small area first to check compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eImportant limitations and suitability checks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremJoint is not intended to stabilise loose or moving paving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll paving must be firm, stable and supported by a suitable base before jointing begins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorous paving may hold water and delay curing, and some porous materials may need sealing before jointing because they are more sensitive to staining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor porcelain, check the process with the paving supplier first.

Use the Dry Application method on an impermeable bedding mortar or another poorly draining base. Do not use the Wet Application method where its water cannot drain away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan PremJoint be used on a permeable bed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Use the Wet Application method on a suitable free-draining bed. The water used during application must drain through the joints and bedding before PremJoint can cure properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best jointing compound for paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no single best paving jointing compound for every installation. The right choice depends on the paving material, joint size, bedding, drainage, loading and weather conditions. PremJoint is a permeable brush-in paving jointing compound where its Wet or Dry Application method suits the construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best jointing compound for patios?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a patio, choose a jointing compound that suits the paving and the bed beneath it. PremJoint is suitable for appropriate domestic patio and walkway applications, with Wet Application for free-draining beds and Dry Application for impermeable or poorly draining beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan PremJoint be used on a domestic driveway?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt can be used on suitable domestic driveway paving where the paving is stable, the joints are correctly prepared and the Dry Application method is selected for an impermeable or higher-strength bedding construction.

Use the Wet Application method with plenty of water on a permeable bed, or the Dry Application method with a light mist on the paving surface and no water in the joints where the bed is impermeable or drainage is poor. In both cases, fill the joint fully without voids and finish it slightly below the paving surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat joint width is suitable for PremJoint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoints should be a minimum of 3mm and a maximum of 20mm wide, with a minimum depth of 20mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long before you can walk on PremJoint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn good drying conditions around 20°C and 65% relative humidity, and where water drains freely, allow approximately 24–48 hours before normal foot traffic.

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. 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. 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.

Supplied in 20kg tubs, it fills joints from 2mm to 50mm wide, sets in 15 minutes at 20°C, and is suitable for driveways, patios and other paving applications requiring early trafficking. It conforms to BS 7533 and produces a super-smooth, aggregate-free finish unlike any other grade in the Flowpoint range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size joints can Flowpoint Fine be used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltraScape Flowpoint Fine can be used for joints from \u003cstrong\u003e2mm to 50mm wide\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a minimum target joint depth of 20mm and up to 200mm in a single application. This makes it the most versatile grade in the Flowpoint range for narrow joints — particularly suited to porcelain paving where joints of 2–3mm are common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Flowpoint Fine be used on 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 (from just 2mm) without bridging or leaving voids. 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 to prevent grout haze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly does Flowpoint Fine set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Fine reaches its initial set in approximately \u003cstrong\u003e15 minutes at 20°C\u003c\/strong\u003e.

UltraScape Flowpoint Fine can be used with natural stone paving — including sandstone, Indian Stone, Yorkstone, limestone and granite setts — providing a rigid, bound and void-free joint when applied correctly. For darker limestones such as black limestone, use a temporary pre-sealer to prevent oxidisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Flowpoint Fine be used on driveways?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Flowpoint Fine is suitable for driveways and can accept vehicular traffic approximately 4 hours after application, depending on temperature.

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\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.

Always follow the manufacturer's guidance to minimise the risk of efflorescence and other issues.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowpoint Smooth Key Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25kg showerproof bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charcoal \u0026amp;

What is UltraScape Flowpoint Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltraScape Flowpoint Smooth is a rapid-set, flowable paving grout designed specifically for smooth paving stones and slabs. It produces a seamless, void-free joint that conforms to the requirements of BS 7533. Pre-mixed and supplied in 25kg showerproof bags, it requires only the addition of water on site — making it one of the fastest, most consistent ways to joint large areas of smooth or polished paving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2. What is Flowpoint Smooth used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth is used for jointing paving in a wide range of applications — from domestic patios and driveways to town centre pedestrian schemes, pathways and carriageways. It is suitable for natural stone, concrete flags and clay pavers, and is particularly well suited to smooth or polished surfaces where a seamless, void-free finish is required. It is ideal for large-scale projects where speed and consistency of application matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3. What is Flowpoint Smooth and how is it different from Flowpoint Standard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth is a rapid set flowable grout engineered for smooth paving stones and slabs where joints can be as narrow as 3mm — two millimetres tighter than Flowpoint Standard (5mm minimum). Its high fluid consistency produces a seamless, void-free joint that is particularly well suited to smooth or polished surfaces. The compressive strength, application method, water ratio and trafficking times are identical to Standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e4. Why choose Charcoal over Natural Grey for Flowpoint Smooth?\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. It gives a contemporary, high-contrast finish that frames the paving beautifully. Natural Grey is the more neutral 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\n\u003ch3\u003e5. What joint widths can Flowpoint Smooth be used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth handles joints from 3mm to 50mm wide and 20mm to 200mm deep in a single application — narrower than Flowpoint Standard, which starts at 5mm. For joints narrower than 3mm, consider Flowpoint Fine (from 2mm) or Porcelpoint (from 2mm). \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eGive us a call\u003c\/a\u003e if you're unsure which grade is right for your project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e6. What is the set time for Flowpoint Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth reaches initial set in 15 minutes at 20°C. Temperature is the key variable — colder conditions extend the set, warmer ones shorten it. Always use the thumb test before cleaning down — if the joint still feels soft, it's too early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e7. How long before you can walk on Flowpoint Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth can accept light foot traffic after approximately 1 hour, depending on temperature. In colder conditions, allow a little longer before walking on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e8. How long before vehicles can drive over Flowpoint Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth can accept vehicular traffic after approximately 4 hours, depending on temperature. This makes it an excellent choice for driveways, pathways and carriageway schemes where downtime needs to be kept to a minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e9. Is UltraScape Flowpoint Smooth BS 7533 compliant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — UltraScape Flowpoint Smooth conforms to and exceeds the requirements of BS 7533. It is designed for rigid or bound, void-free paving joints and is NBS Source registered for ease of specification on commercial and public realm projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e10. Can Flowpoint Smooth Charcoal be used on porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Smooth Charcoal is well suited to charcoal or grey porcelain paving, particularly where joints are 3mm or wider. Its high fluid consistency flows cleanly into tight joints without bridging or voids. For porcelain, we also strongly recommend 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 to prevent grout haze on the polished surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e11. Can Flowpoint Smooth Charcoal be used on natural stone paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Smooth Charcoal is suitable for granite setts, slate, darker sandstone, Indian Stone and Yorkstone. Always carry out a small trial on your specific stone first. For darker limestones such as black limestone, apply a temporary pre-sealer like \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep\u003c\/a\u003e to prevent oxidisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e12. Can Flowpoint Smooth be used on concrete paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Smooth is suitable for concrete flags and is an excellent choice for any paving application requiring a rigid, bound, void-free joint. Its high fluid consistency means it fills joints in concrete paving quickly and consistently, with no need for hand-pointing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e13. Can Flowpoint Smooth be used on clay pavers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Smooth is suitable for clay pavers. As with all stone types, we recommend a small trial area first, and for any absorbent surface, ensure the paving is thoroughly pre-soaked before application to prevent the grout being drawn in too quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e14. Is Flowpoint Smooth suitable for driveways and high-traffic areas?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Smooth is designed for applications including pathways, town centre pedestrian schemes and carriageways. With a compressive strength of 49.6N\/mm² and vehicular trafficking possible after just 4 hours, it is well suited to driveways, commercial car parks and any surface that needs to return to use quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e15. Is Flowpoint Smooth suitable for large paving areas?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Smooth is specifically identified by Instarmac as ideal for large-scale projects. Its high fluid consistency allows large areas to be grouted efficiently — far faster than traditional hand-pointing. Working in manageable sections and keeping the surface misted is the key to a clean, consistent result across a large area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e16. How do you apply Flowpoint Smooth Charcoal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-soak the paving and remove all ponded water. Add 4.25 litres of clean water per 25kg bag and mix for 3–5 minutes until smooth and lump-free.

Mix only what you can place in approximately 4 minutes — never add more water or remix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e17. How much water do you add to a 25kg bag of Flowpoint Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExactly 4.25 litres of clean water per bag. Mix for 3–5 minutes with a slow-speed drill and paddle mixer until smooth and pourable. Never add more water once mixing has started and never remix a batch that has begun to go off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e18. Is Flowpoint Smooth easy to mix?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Smooth is supplied as a fully pre-mixed dry-pack and only requires the addition of water on site. A slow-speed drill with a paddle mixer attachment is all you need. Mix for 3–5 minutes until smooth and lump-free. No specialist equipment required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e19.

Can Flowpoint Smooth Charcoal be used 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.

Will Flowpoint Smooth Charcoal stain my paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth is designed to be stain-free when 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. Use a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/neoprene-squeegee-3-section-pole-for-paving-grout-bundle-deal\"\u003eneoprene squeegee\u003c\/a\u003e, keep slabs misted, and consider a temporary sealer such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep\u003c\/a\u003e for porous or textured stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e22. Is Flowpoint Smooth permeable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — Flowpoint Smooth is a non-permeable cementitious grout. Once set, it does not allow water to pass through the joint. It must be used on a solid, non-permeable bed. If you need a permeable jointing solution, \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact us\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll point you in the right direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e23. Can you use Flowpoint 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. A damp day can actually be beneficial as it slows the set and gives you more working time. Do not apply during heavy rain or when frost is forecast within 24 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e24.

What is the shelf life of Flowpoint Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 months from the date of manufacture (printed on the bag, on the white strip on the side of the bag), for unopened, sealed bags stored in a cool, dry, frost-free area.

How do I tell the Flowpoint grades apart on delivery?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bag colour tells you the grade at a glance. Flowpoint Smooth bags are \u003cstrong\u003eorange and blue\u003c\/strong\u003e. For reference across the full range: Standard is black and orange; ECO is orange and green; Fine comes in tubs rather than bags, with the lid colour indicating the colour variant.

Their attitude is, 'I've been doing this for 20 years… Why should I change now?'

Can UltraScape Flowpoint be used for large areas of paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Flowpoint is specifically designed for efficient application over large areas and has been used on some of the UK's most demanding public realm and commercial paving schemes, including MediaCityUK (40,000m²), Liverpool Lime Street Station and Birmingham Bullring. Its flowable slurry method is significantly faster than traditional hand-pointing at scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e11. How do you apply UltraScape Flowpoint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-soak the paving and remove all ponded water. Mix one 25kg bag with 4.25 litres of clean water for 3–5 minutes until smooth. Pour onto the paving and force into joints using a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/neoprene-squeegee-3-section-pole-for-paving-grout-bundle-deal\"\u003eneoprene squeegee\u003c\/a\u003e. Keep the surface misted. Once the grout reaches initial set, clean down thoroughly with a brush and plenty of clean water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e12. How much water do you add to a 25kg bag of Flowpoint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 25kg bag of UltraScape Flowpoint requires 4.25 litres of clean water. Mix for 3–5 minutes using a slow-speed drill and paddle mixer until a smooth, lump-free, pourable consistency is achieved. Only mix what you can apply in approximately 4 minutes — never remix or add extra water once mixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e13. Can Flowpoint be used in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — UltraScape Flowpoint can be used in light rain. Applying in damp conditions can be beneficial as it slows the set and extends working time. However, joints must be free from ponded water before grouting begins, and heavy rain that fills the joints should be avoided. Do not apply if frost is expected within 24 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e14. What colours does UltraScape Flowpoint come in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltraScape Flowpoint Standard is available in two colours: Natural Grey and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ultrascape-flowpoint-rapid-setting-external-paving-grout-charcoal\"\u003eCharcoal\u003c\/a\u003e. For a wider range of colours — including Stone Grey, Limestone and Yorkstone — see the Flowpoint Premium range. All colours are available in the same bag size and are applied using the same method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e15. What is the difference between Flowpoint, Flowpoint Smooth, Flowpoint ECO and Flowpoint Fine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Standard suits joints from 5–50mm on most paving types. Flowpoint Smooth is for smoother surfaces and narrower joints from 3mm. Flowpoint ECO matches Standard performance but incorporates 20% recycled glass content. Flowpoint Fine is for the narrowest joints from 2mm, such as close-cut porcelain or smooth stone. All are rapid-setting and BS 7533 compliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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\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\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. Applied before grouting, Patio Prep is a game-changer for darker stones and means Flowpoint can be used confidently across a much wider range of paving.

It must always be applied on a solid, non-permeable bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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.

What is UltraScape Flowpoint Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltraScape Flowpoint Smooth is a rapid-set, flowable paving grout designed specifically for smooth paving stones and slabs. It produces a seamless, void-free joint that conforms to the requirements of BS 7533. Pre-mixed and supplied in 25kg showerproof bags, it requires only the addition of water on site — making it one of the fastest, most consistent ways to joint large areas of smooth or polished paving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2. What is Flowpoint Smooth used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth is used for jointing paving in a wide range of applications — from domestic patios and driveways to town centre pedestrian schemes, pathways and carriageways. It is suitable for natural stone, concrete flags and clay pavers, and is particularly well suited to smooth or polished surfaces where a seamless, void-free finish is required. It is ideal for large-scale projects where speed and consistency of application matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3. What is Flowpoint Smooth and how is it different from Flowpoint Standard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth is a rapid set flowable grout engineered for smooth paving stones and slabs where joints can be as narrow as 3mm — two millimetres tighter than Flowpoint Standard (5mm minimum). Its high fluid consistency produces a seamless, void-free joint that is particularly well suited to smooth or polished surfaces. The compressive strength, application method, water ratio and trafficking times are identical to Standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e4. What joint widths can Flowpoint Smooth be used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth handles joints from 3mm to 50mm wide and 20mm to 200mm deep in a single application — narrower than Flowpoint Standard, which starts at 5mm. For joints narrower than 3mm, consider Flowpoint Fine (from 2mm) or Porcelpoint (from 2mm). \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eGive us a call\u003c\/a\u003e if you're unsure which grade is right for your project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e5. What is the set time for Flowpoint Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth reaches initial set in 15 minutes at 20°C. Temperature is the key variable — colder conditions extend the set, warmer ones shorten it. Always use the thumb test before cleaning down — if the joint still feels soft, it's too early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e6. How long before you can walk on Flowpoint Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth can accept light foot traffic after approximately 1 hour, depending on temperature. In colder conditions, allow a little longer before walking on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e7. How long before vehicles can drive over Flowpoint Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth can accept vehicular traffic after approximately 4 hours, depending on temperature. This makes it an excellent choice for driveways, pathways and carriageway schemes where downtime needs to be kept to a minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e8. Is UltraScape Flowpoint Smooth BS 7533 compliant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — UltraScape Flowpoint Smooth conforms to and exceeds the requirements of BS 7533. It is designed for rigid or bound, void-free paving joints and is NBS Source registered for ease of specification on commercial and public realm projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e9. Can Flowpoint Smooth be used on porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Smooth is well suited to porcelain paving, particularly where joints are 3mm or wider. Its high fluid consistency flows cleanly into tight joints without bridging or voids. For porcelain, we also strongly recommend 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 to prevent grout haze on the polished surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e10. Can Flowpoint Smooth be used on natural stone paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Smooth is suitable for sandstone, limestone, Indian Stone, Yorkstone and granite setts. Always carry out a small trial on your specific stone first. For darker limestones such as black limestone, apply a temporary pre-sealer like \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep\u003c\/a\u003e to prevent oxidisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e11. Can Flowpoint Smooth be used on concrete paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Smooth is suitable for concrete flags and is an excellent choice for any paving application requiring a rigid, bound, void-free joint. Its high fluid consistency means it fills joints in concrete paving quickly and consistently, with no need for hand-pointing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e12. Can Flowpoint Smooth be used on clay pavers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Smooth is suitable for clay pavers. As with all stone types, we recommend a small trial area first, and for any absorbent surface, ensure the paving is thoroughly pre-soaked before application to prevent the grout being drawn in too quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e13. Is Flowpoint Smooth suitable for driveways and high-traffic areas?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Smooth is designed for applications including pathways, town centre pedestrian schemes and carriageways. With a compressive strength of 49.6N\/mm² and vehicular trafficking possible after just 4 hours, it is well suited to driveways, commercial car parks and any surface that needs to return to use quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e14. Is Flowpoint Smooth suitable for large paving areas?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Smooth is specifically identified by Instarmac as ideal for large-scale projects. Its high fluid consistency allows large areas to be grouted efficiently — far faster than traditional hand-pointing. Working in manageable sections and keeping the surface misted is the key to a clean, consistent result across a large area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e15. How do you apply Flowpoint Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-soak the paving and remove all ponded water. Add 4.25 litres of clean water per 25kg bag and mix for 3–5 minutes until smooth and lump-free.

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.

Their attitude is, 'I've been doing this for 20 years… Why should I change now?'

Supplied in 20kg tubs, it fills joints from 2mm to 50mm wide, sets in 15 minutes at 20°C, and is suitable for driveways, patios and other paving applications requiring early trafficking. It conforms to BS 7533 and produces a super-smooth, aggregate-free finish unlike any other grade in the Flowpoint range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size joints can Flowpoint Fine be used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltraScape Flowpoint Fine can be used for joints from \u003cstrong\u003e2mm to 50mm wide\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a minimum target joint depth of 20mm and up to 200mm in a single application.

UltraScape Flowpoint Fine Charcoal can be used with natural stone paving — including granite setts, slate, sandstone, Indian Stone and Yorkstone — providing a rigid, bound and void-free joint when applied correctly. For darker limestones such as black limestone, use a temporary pre-sealer to prevent oxidisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Flowpoint Fine be used on driveways?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Flowpoint Fine is suitable for driveways and can accept vehicular traffic approximately 4 hours after application, depending on temperature. It conforms to BS 7533 and is designed for areas requiring early trafficking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Flowpoint Fine suitable for patios?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Flowpoint Fine Charcoal is suitable for patios constructed using natural stone, concrete flags, porcelain tiles and clay pavers, creating a rigid, bound and weed-resistant joint in bold charcoal that can last up to 40 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs UltraScape Flowpoint Fine BS 7533 compliant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

This is different from other Flowpoint grades — do not use the Standard ratio of 4.25L.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you apply Flowpoint Fine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure joints are free from debris and ponded water. Pre-soak the paving and keep it wet (or apply a temporary pre-sealer). Mix one 20kg tub with 3.4 litres of water, then move the grout into the joints using a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/neoprene-squeegee-3-section-pole-for-paving-grout-bundle-deal\"\u003eneoprene squeegee \u0026amp; 3 section pole\u003c\/a\u003e.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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. The aggregate-free finish in Charcoal gives a crisp, contemporary look that frames the paving beautifully. Natural Grey is the more neutral 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\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.

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.

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.

Joint-It Simple uses a brush-in method activated by water, and is suitable for permeable bases only. If you need a resin-based jointing compound, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/joint-it-dynamic-22kg-two-part-resin-paving-jointing-system\"\u003eJoint-It Dynamic\u003c\/a\u003e is likely the right product — or \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003egive us a call\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll advise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow much water do you use with Joint-It Simple?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoint-It does not specify a fixed water quantity for Simple. 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.

Narrower joints and larger slabs will give higher coverage; wider, deeper joints and smaller pavers will use more.

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. If your base is non-permeable, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/joint-it-dynamic-22kg-two-part-resin-paving-jointing-system\"\u003eJoint-It Dynamic\u003c\/a\u003e is the product to consider instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan Joint-It Simple be used on porcelain?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Joint-It Simple is suitable for porcelain paving. We recommend pre-sealing porcelain with a compatible sealer before application to prevent any grout residue bonding to the surface. Always test on a small, discreet area first.

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.

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.

For porcelain on a permeable, free-draining bed, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nexus-projoint-rapidflow-brush-in-porcelain-paving-grout\"\u003eProJoint RapidFlow\u003c\/a\u003e is our go-to recommendation.

For porcelain laid on a solid concrete or impermeable base, Porcelpoint is excellent — BS 7533 compliant, joints from 2mm, open to foot traffic in 1 hour and vehicles in 4 hours. For porcelain on a permeable sand-and-cement bed, use \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nexus-projoint-rapidflow-brush-in-porcelain-paving-grout\"\u003eProJoint RapidFlow\u003c\/a\u003e instead. Both are suitable for external use in UK conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best jointing compound for porcelain slabs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor fine joints from 2mm on a non-permeable bed, Porcelpoint is hard to beat — it's a flowable slurry grout that fills joints completely with a compressive strength of 49.6N\/mm², sets quickly, and won't stain porcelain when applied correctly. For wider joints or permeable beds, other products in our range may suit better. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eGive us a call\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll point you in the right direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo porcelain paving slabs need primer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best bond, yes — we recommend priming the underside of each porcelain slab with a slurry primer before bedding. This is particularly important on non-permeable systems where the dense, low-porosity surface of porcelain can reduce adhesion to the bedding mortar. We recommend using the full UltraScape BS 7533 system including \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ultrascape-pro-prime-slurry-primer-20kg\"\u003ePro-Prime slurry primer\u003c\/a\u003e alongside Porcelpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do you need primer under porcelain paving? Can you lay porcelain paving without primer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelain has near-zero porosity — unlike natural stone, it doesn't absorb moisture from the bedding mortar, which means a standard mortar bond can be weaker than you'd expect. A priming slurry bridges that gap and significantly improves adhesion. Technically you can lay porcelain without a primer, but on a non-permeable bed especially, we strongly advise against it. The cost of a primer is trivial compared to the cost of relaying a patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between epoxy grout and brush-in grout for porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpoxy grouts (like \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nexus-projoint-titan\"\u003eProJoint TITAN\u003c\/a\u003e) are two-part systems that cure chemically, producing an extremely hard, impermeable joint with very high strength — ideal for driveways and heavy-use areas but requiring more careful application. Flowable grouts like Porcelpoint are single-component systems — just add water, pour and squeegee in. They're easier to apply, faster to set (foot traffic in 1 hour, vehicles in 4), and perfectly suited to patios, paths and pedestrian areas. For most domestic porcelain patios on a non-permeable bed, Porcelpoint is the more practical and cost-effective choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best grout for 5mm joints in porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint is an excellent choice for 5mm joints — its super-fine aggregate flows cleanly into joints from just 2mm, so 5mm joints are comfortably within its range. At 5mm joints with standard 600x600mm porcelain slabs, you'll typically cover approximately 10–20m² per 20kg tub. Use the coverage calculator on this page for a more precise estimate for your specific slab size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you stop grout staining porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint is formulated not to stick to porcelain surfaces when applied correctly. The key is timing: keep the slab surface constantly moist with a soft spray of water during application to slow surface drying, then check joint firmness with a thumb test before washing off. Don't wash off too early (before the joint has firmed) and don't leave it too long. Once initial set is reached (approx. 30 minutes at 20°C), clean thoroughly with a brush and copious amounts of water — no grout should be left on the paving surface. For porous or textured natural stone, always use \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep Temporary Sealer\u003c\/a\u003e first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you remove grout haze from porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor fresh haze (within 24 hours), a thorough wash-down with clean water and a stiff brush will usually shift it. For dried or stubborn haze, a dedicated paving cleaner is more effective — \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003ecall us\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll advise on the right product for your paving type. Prevention is always easier than cure: keep the surface damp during application, check joint firmness before washing off, and use a pre-sealer on any porous or textured stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much porcelain grout do I need? How much grout do I need for 5mm joints?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoverage depends on your slab size, joint width and joint depth. As a general guide, one 20kg tub of Porcelpoint covers approximately 10–20m² for standard porcelain formats with 5mm joints at 20mm depth. Use the coverage calculator on this page for an accurate figure, or \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003ecall us on 0330 122 1025\u003c\/a\u003e with your area size, slab format and joint width — we'll calculate it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat grout is suitable for external porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint is fully suitable for external use — it's BS 7533 compliant, achieves a compressive strength of 49.6N\/mm², and is used on everything from domestic patios to town centre carriageways. Avoid application if rain is forecast within the working and initial set window, or if frost is expected overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan porcelain paving grout crack? Why is my porcelain paving grout cracking?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrout cracking in porcelain paving is almost always caused by movement in the substrate — either an inadequately cured or unstable bed, insufficient fall causing water to pool and freeze in joints, or paving that hasn't been fully bedded. Porcelpoint itself, once properly mixed and cured on a stable non-permeable bed, achieves a compressive strength of 49.6N\/mm² and is strong and durable. If you're seeing cracking, the issue is almost always below the surface rather than the grout itself. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eCall us\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll help you diagnose it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you grout porcelain paving in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — Porcelpoint should not be applied in wet conditions or when rain is imminent. All ponded water must be removed from joints before application, and the surface kept moist (not wet) with a soft spray during the grouting process. Rain during or shortly after application can wash grout from the joints before it sets and cause surface staining. Choose a dry window and wait if in doubt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does porcelain paving grout take to cure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint reaches its initial set in approximately 30 minutes at 20°C — faster in warm weather, slower in cold. Working time after mixing is 5–15 minutes, so mix one bucket at a time and apply without delay. It's open to foot traffic after 1 hour and vehicular traffic after 4 hours. Full strength develops over the following days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is it important to mix Porcelpoint for 3–5 minutes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3–5 minute mixing time isn't simply about removing lumps and achieving a smooth, workable consistency — it's about chemistry. As soon as water is added to the powder, a chemical reaction called cement hydration begins. This starts the setting process and generates heat within the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThorough mixing ensures the water and cementitious components are evenly combined, allowing the hydration process to take place consistently throughout the product. Under-mixing can result in uneven setting, weak spots in the joint, and unpredictable working time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a general guide, allow around 3 minutes of mixing in warmer conditions and closer to 5 minutes in colder conditions. Temperature affects how quickly hydration and setting develop, so adjusting mixing time accordingly helps achieve a consistent, well-combined mix every time.\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 30 minutes at 20°C. Working time after mixing is only 5–15 minutes — mix one bucket at a time and apply immediately. Warm weather accelerates the set; cold weather slows it down. It's open to foot traffic after 1 hour and vehicles after 4 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Porcelpoint the same as Flowpoint Fine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're closely related — same joint width range (from 2mm), same application method, same water ratio (3.4L per tub), same mixing instructions (3–5 minutes) and the same working time (5–15 minutes). Both are supplied in 20kg tubs. The differences are that Porcelpoint has been specifically engineered for porcelain paving with enhanced pigments, super-fine aggregate and premium elements to complement lighter tones. 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. Both are supplied in 20kg tubs with the same water ratio and working time. The key distinction is that Porcelpoint's pigments and aggregate are specifically developed for porcelain's dense, low-porosity surface.\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 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. Do not store liquid grout other than in transit from mixer — apply immediately.\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 a strong, impermeable, void-free joint and must be used on a solid, bound, non-permeable bed. If your paving is on a permeable, free-draining sub-base, you need a permeable grout instead — see \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nexus-projoint-rapidflow-brush-in-porcelain-paving-grout\"\u003eProJoint RapidFlow\u003c\/a\u003e for porcelain, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/projoint-fusion\"\u003eProJoint Fusion\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ultrascape-premjoint-fine-brush-in-jointing-compound\"\u003eUltraScape PremJoint\u003c\/a\u003e for natural stone.

It achieves a compressive strength of 49.6N\/mm² and 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: Stone Grey (this listing) and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ultrascape-porcelpoint-flowable-porcelain-grout-limestone\"\u003eLimestone\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.

For porcelain laid on a solid concrete or impermeable base, Porcelpoint is excellent — BS 7533 compliant, joints from 2mm, open to foot traffic in 1 hour and vehicles in 4 hours. For porcelain on a permeable sand-and-cement bed, use \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nexus-projoint-rapidflow-brush-in-porcelain-paving-grout\"\u003eProJoint RapidFlow\u003c\/a\u003e instead.

For wider joints or permeable beds, other products in our range may suit better. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eGive us a call\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll point you in the right direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo porcelain paving slabs need primer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best bond, yes — we recommend priming the underside of each porcelain slab with a slurry primer before bedding. This is particularly important on non-permeable systems where the dense, low-porosity surface of porcelain can reduce adhesion to the bedding mortar. We recommend using the full UltraScape BS 7533 system including \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ultrascape-pro-prime-slurry-primer-20kg\"\u003ePro-Prime slurry primer\u003c\/a\u003e alongside Porcelpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do you need primer under porcelain paving? Can you lay porcelain paving without primer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelain has near-zero porosity — unlike natural stone, it doesn't absorb moisture from the bedding mortar, which means a standard mortar bond can be weaker than you'd expect. A priming slurry bridges that gap and significantly improves adhesion. Technically you can lay porcelain without a primer, but on a non-permeable bed especially, we strongly advise against it. The cost of a primer is trivial compared to the cost of relaying a patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between epoxy grout and brush-in grout for porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpoxy grouts (like \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nexus-projoint-titan\"\u003eProJoint TITAN\u003c\/a\u003e) are two-part systems that cure chemically, producing an extremely hard, impermeable joint with very high strength — ideal for driveways and heavy-use areas but requiring more careful application. Flowable grouts like Porcelpoint are single-component systems — just add water, pour and squeegee in. They're easier to apply, faster to set (foot traffic in 1 hour, vehicles in 4), and perfectly suited to patios, paths and pedestrian areas. For most domestic porcelain patios on a non-permeable bed, Porcelpoint is the more practical and cost-effective choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best grout for 5mm joints in porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint is an excellent choice for 5mm joints — its super-fine aggregate flows cleanly into joints from just 2mm, so 5mm joints are comfortably within its range. At 5mm joints with standard 600x600mm porcelain slabs, you'll typically cover approximately 10–20m² per 20kg tub. Use the coverage calculator on this page for a more precise estimate for your specific slab size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you stop grout staining porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint is formulated not to stick to porcelain surfaces when applied correctly. The key is timing: keep the slab surface constantly moist with a soft spray of water during application to slow surface drying, then check joint firmness with a thumb test before washing off. Don't wash off too early (before the joint has firmed) and don't leave it too long. Once initial set is reached (approx. 30 minutes at 20°C), clean thoroughly with a brush and copious amounts of water — no grout should be left on the paving surface. For porous or textured natural stone, always use \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep Temporary Sealer\u003c\/a\u003e first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you remove grout haze from porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor fresh haze (within 24 hours), a thorough wash-down with clean water and a stiff brush will usually shift it. For dried or stubborn haze, a dedicated paving cleaner is more effective — \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003ecall us\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll advise on the right product for your paving type. Prevention is always easier than cure: keep the surface damp during application, check joint firmness before washing off, and use a pre-sealer on any porous or textured stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much porcelain grout do I need? How much grout do I need for 5mm joints?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoverage depends on your slab size, joint width and joint depth. As a general guide, one 20kg tub of Porcelpoint covers approximately 10–20m² for standard porcelain formats with 5mm joints at 20mm depth. Use the coverage calculator on this page for an accurate figure, or \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003ecall us on 0330 122 1025\u003c\/a\u003e with your area size, slab format and joint width — we'll calculate it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat grout is suitable for external porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint is fully suitable for external use — it's BS 7533 compliant, achieves a compressive strength of 49.6N\/mm², and is used on everything from domestic patios to town centre carriageways. Avoid application if rain is forecast within the working and initial set window, or if frost is expected overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan porcelain paving grout crack? Why is my porcelain paving grout cracking?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrout cracking in porcelain paving is almost always caused by movement in the substrate — either an inadequately cured or unstable bed, insufficient fall causing water to pool and freeze in joints, or paving that hasn't been fully bedded. Porcelpoint itself, once properly mixed and cured on a stable non-permeable bed, achieves a compressive strength of 49.6N\/mm² and is strong and durable. If you're seeing cracking, the issue is almost always below the surface rather than the grout itself. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eCall us\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll help you diagnose it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you grout porcelain paving in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — Porcelpoint should not be applied in wet conditions or when rain is imminent. All ponded water must be removed from joints before application, and the surface kept moist (not wet) with a soft spray during the grouting process. Rain during or shortly after application can wash grout from the joints before it sets and cause surface staining. Choose a dry window and wait if in doubt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does porcelain paving grout take to cure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint reaches its initial set in approximately 30 minutes at 20°C — faster in warm weather, slower in cold. Working time after mixing is 5–15 minutes, so mix one bucket at a time and apply without delay. It's open to foot traffic after 1 hour and vehicular traffic after 4 hours. Full strength develops over the following days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is it important to mix Porcelpoint for 3–5 minutes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3–5 minute mixing time isn't simply about removing lumps and achieving a smooth, workable consistency — it's about chemistry. As soon as water is added to the powder, a chemical reaction called cement hydration begins. This starts the setting process and generates heat within the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThorough mixing ensures the water and cementitious components are evenly combined, allowing the hydration process to take place consistently throughout the product. Under-mixing can result in uneven setting, weak spots in the joint, and unpredictable working time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a general guide, allow around 3 minutes of mixing in warmer conditions and closer to 5 minutes in colder conditions. Temperature affects how quickly hydration and setting develop, so adjusting mixing time accordingly helps achieve a consistent, well-combined mix every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does Porcelpoint take to set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelpoint reaches its initial set in approximately 30 minutes at 20°C. Working time after mixing is only 5–15 minutes — mix one bucket at a time and apply immediately. Warm weather accelerates the set; cold weather slows it down. It's open to foot traffic after 1 hour and vehicles after 4 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Porcelpoint the same as Flowpoint Fine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're closely related — same joint width range (from 2mm), same application method, same water ratio (3.4L per tub), same mixing instructions (3–5 minutes) and the same working time (5–15 minutes). Both are supplied in 20kg tubs. The differences are that Porcelpoint has been specifically engineered for porcelain paving with enhanced pigments, super-fine aggregate and premium elements to complement lighter tones. 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\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\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\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. Do not store liquid grout other than in transit from mixer — apply immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\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\u003ch3\u003eIs Porcelpoint permeable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — Porcelpoint produces a strong, impermeable, void-free joint and must be used on a solid, bound, non-permeable bed. If your paving is on a permeable, free-draining sub-base, you need a permeable grout instead — see \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nexus-projoint-rapidflow-brush-in-porcelain-paving-grout\"\u003eProJoint RapidFlow\u003c\/a\u003e for porcelain, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/projoint-fusion\"\u003eProJoint Fusion\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ultrascape-premjoint-fine-brush-in-jointing-compound\"\u003eUltraScape PremJoint\u003c\/a\u003e for natural stone. Ensure your patio or path has adequate fall for surface water to drain away freely.\u003c\/p\u003e\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 achieves a compressive strength of 49.6N\/mm² and accepts vehicular traffic after just 4 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\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.

These are the questions we’re most often asked about choosing and applying a permeable brush-in paving compound.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Joint-It Elite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoint-It Elite is a ready-mixed, cement-free, water-permeable paving jointing compound for outdoor porcelain and smooth natural stone. It is designed for patios, paths and other pedestrian paved areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Joint-It Elite used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt fills joints between outdoor porcelain and smooth natural stone paving where the base is water permeable and the joints meet the minimum width and depth requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Joint-It Elite on porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, provided the base is permeable and the joints are at least 2mm wide and 18mm deep. For porcelain on a solid base or with smaller joints, a porcelain epoxy grout may be more suitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it on natural stone paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It is suitable for smooth, unpolished natural stone. Porous stones can react differently, so wet the paving thoroughly, consider the pre-sealing guidance and test a discreet area first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat type of base does Elite need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt needs a water-permeable foundation. A typical build-up is approximately 100–150mm of compacted hardcore and around 50mm of semi-dry 6:1 sand and cement beneath the paving, subject to the project design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow can I check whether an existing patio base is permeable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRun a hose over the area for several minutes and watch the water. If it gradually drains through, the base may be permeable. If it pools on the surface, the base may be solid and Elite may not be suitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy must the paving be wet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eElite hardens in contact with air. Thoroughly wetting the paving helps prevent the compound being drawn into porous natural stone and reduces the risk of residue or temporary colour enhancement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens if I do not use enough water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsufficient water can allow the compound to penetrate porous stone, causing temporary colour enhancement or residue. This can take approximately 12–16 weeks to weather away, depending on the stone and conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use too much water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater does not weaken this water-permeable product, but flooding the joints can mean they need topping up. Keep the paving thoroughly wet without unnecessarily filling the joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it can be applied in light rain. Protect the installation from heavy rain during the first few hours so the product is not washed out of the joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat joint width and depth are required?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe minimum is 2mm wide and 18mm deep. Wider joints can be filled, but they will reduce coverage per bucket. Elite is not suitable for V-joints or bevelled slabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to pre-seal natural stone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighly porous stones such as slate, black or blue limestone and honed black granite may benefit from pre-sealing before laying and jointing. Check the product guidance and test your particular paving first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShould I pre-seal porcelain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe specific pre-sealing advice relates to highly porous natural stone. For porcelain, make sure the paving is suitable, the base is permeable, the joints meet the minimum dimensions and the paving is thoroughly wet before and during application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Elite on rocking slabs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. All paving must be fully secure with no movement. Elite is a jointing compound and will not stabilise loose or rocking slabs. Fix the movement before jointing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I re-joint an existing patio?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, provided the base is permeable, the joints meet the minimum dimensions and every slab is secure. Check that water drains through the existing patio before starting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I work alone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, but work in small sections and keep re-wetting the paving. On a large patio or in warm weather, having someone whose job is simply to keep the paving wet can make the work much easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colours does Elite come in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoint-It Elite is available in Ivory, Fawn, Dove Grey, Graphite and Midnight. If you are looking for Ivory or Graphite, which are not currently shown in the selector, \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact our family-run team\u003c\/a\u003e and we will check availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much does a bucket cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoverage is generally approximately 8–10m² per 12.5KG bucket on the stated mixed patio pack. Actual coverage varies with the joint and slab sizes, surface and application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan vehicles drive over Elite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eElite is intended for pedestrian patios, paths and paved areas. If vehicles will use the paving, contact us so we can recommend a more suitable jointing system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Elite eco-friendly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoint-It Elite is described as 97% natural, eco-friendly and non-toxic. Keep the product away from pets and children during application, and keep them off the paving until it has dried.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe around pets and children?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep pets and young children away from the working area and off the paving for at least 24 hours after application, until the product has dried. Dogs and other pets should not be allowed onto fresh jointing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan Elite discolour natural stone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsufficient water can allow the compound to be drawn into porous stone, causing temporary colour enhancement or residue. Thorough wetting and a discreet test area are important.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long before I can walk on the patio?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow approximately 24 hours, subject to the weather and the joints being set. Gently test the joints before allowing foot traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen can I pressure wash?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWait at least 30 days after application so the jointing has had time to cure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the shelf life?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnopened Elite should keep for at least 12 months in a cool, dry place, protected from damp, drafts and punctures. Contact with air begins the hardening process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan leftover Elite be reused?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut unused product into a clean bucket after removing the bag and cardboard, then submerge it under at least 5cm of clean water and close the lid tightly. It should keep for up to 4 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I check before using Elite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the base is permeable, the joints are at least 2mm wide and 18mm deep, the paving is secure and clean, any porous stone has been considered for pre-sealing, and you can keep the surface wet throughout application.

Flowpoint Premium is a pre-mixed dry-pack that requires only the addition of water on site. It is supplied in 25KG bags and is designed for rapid application and early trafficking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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). Limestone 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\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Flowpoint Premium Limestone with black limestone or slate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint can be used on darker stones including black limestone and slate, but we’d strongly recommend applying 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. This protects the surface from grout residue and makes clean-down significantly easier on porous or sensitive stones.

Just make sure the joints aren’t full of rainwater before you start. A damp day can actually work in your favour as it slows the set down a little.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to pre-seal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing a temporary pre-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): don’t pre-soak the paving — the sealer does the same job. \u003cstrong\u003eWithout a sealer:\u003c\/strong\u003e thoroughly wet the paving, then remove all standing water before you start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it permeable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — it creates a non-permeable, rigid joint. It must always be applied on a solid, non-permeable bed with adequate drainage fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s the shelf life?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 months from the date of manufacture (printed on the bag), stored sealed in cool, dry, frost-free conditions.

These are the questions we get asked every single day.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between Flowpoint Premium Smooth and Flowpoint Premium Standard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Smooth grade has a finer aggregate, which means it can fill joints from just 3mm rather than 5mm. If your joints are wider than 5mm, Standard is fine. If you're working with tight joints — particularly porcelain — Smooth is the one to go for. Performance, set times and water ratio are otherwise identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes Stone Grey different from other grey grouts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Premium Smooth Stone Grey is a genuinely pure grey — many grouts marketed as grey are actually a blend of black, beige and limestone pigments. This has been specifically developed to give the cleanest grey possible, which makes a real difference on contemporary grey porcelain or cool-toned stone where colour accuracy matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Stone Grey over Limestone or Yorkstone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone Grey is the most versatile Smooth colour — a pure, neutral mid-tone that works with almost any paving without looking too dark or too warm. Particularly good with grey porcelain, sandstone, limestone and Indian Stone. If your paving has warmer or cream tones, Limestone or Yorkstone might be a better fit.

Warmer temperatures accelerate this; cooler ones slow it down. Use the thumb test — once the joint is firm and leaves only a slight thumbprint, start washing off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it permeable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — a non-permeable, cementitious joint.

A damp day can actually give you a bit more working time.

I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. These are the questions we get asked every single day — so if yours isn't there, just give us a call.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Flowpoint Premium Smooth and how is it different from other Flowpoint grades?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt combines two things: the finer aggregate of Flowpoint Smooth (joints from 3mm rather than 5mm) with the premium colour palette (Limestone, Stone Grey, Yorkstone). If you need both a tight joint and a colour-matched finish — particularly for pale natural stone or porcelain — this is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the Limestone colour significant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil now contractors working with pale stones — Cotswold limestone, Bath Stone, cream sandstone, travertine — had to choose between Natural Grey (too cool) or Charcoal (too dark). Limestone fills that gap beautifully. Combined with the finer aggregate of Smooth, it's the complete solution for pale stone and porcelain with narrow joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it with porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — it's an excellent choice for cream, buff or warm-toned porcelain. The finer aggregate flows cleanly into narrow joints without bridging or leaving voids. We also strongly recommend 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 without surface protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it with black limestone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaution on two counts — Flowpoint can cause oxidisation on some darker limestones, and the Limestone colour won't be a suitable match in any case.

Just make sure the joints aren't full of rainwater before you begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to pre-seal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing a pre-sealer like \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep\u003c\/a\u003e: don't pre-soak — the sealer acts as the barrier.

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.

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.

Mix until you achieve a smooth, consistent, lump-free material. Allow the mixture to stand briefly before remixing and applying.

Work carefully across the joints to avoid removing freshly applied grout and change the wash water regularly. Remove any grout film before it fully hardens — dried residue is significantly harder to remove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP take to cure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder typical conditions: the grout will have firmed sufficiently to be usable after approximately 6 hours, light foot traffic is possible after approximately 24 hours, and the joints reach full service strength after approximately 7 days.

FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP has been developed specifically for demanding outdoor applications and is compatible with the wider FUGA-PAVE system. For tradespeople familiar with FUGA-PAVE FLEX CH, FLEX XP provides a straightforward move to the latest version of the system, while retaining the features installers have come to rely on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP and epoxy or resin paving grout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFUGA-PAVE FLEX XP is a hybrid cement-based grout — not an epoxy or resin grout. Cement-based grouts like FLEX XP are mixed with water, straightforward to apply with standard tools, and easier to clean up. Epoxy or resin grouts use a two-part chemical mix, are typically more demanding to work with, but can offer higher stain resistance in certain applications.

ProJoint TileJam uses an advanced hybrid flex polymer-modified cement blend that gives it superior flexibility, moisture resistance and durability across a much wider range of applications. It’s equally at home grouting a walk-in shower, an outdoor porcelain patio, a kitchen splashback or a domestic pool surround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts non-efflorescent and mould-resistant composition means you won’t see white salt deposits forming in the joints over time — a common problem with standard grouts, particularly in outdoor and high-moisture settings. And its low-carbon manufacturing process makes it one of the more environmentally responsible choices available, significantly reducing CO₂ emissions compared to conventional cement-based grouts.

If your paving is on a free-draining permeable bed, you need \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nexus-projoint-rapidflow-brush-in-porcelain-paving-grout\"\u003eProJoint RapidFlow\u003c\/a\u003e instead.

Suitable for non-permeable beds, internal and external walls and floors, including patios, paths, bathrooms, wet rooms, kitchens and domestic swimming pools. Quick-setting, mould-resistant and available in 9 colours. Made in Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does TileJam take to cure?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAt 20°C, TileJam accepts light foot traffic after 3 hours and reaches full cure in 24 hours in dry conditions. Showers and wet areas should be left for 3 days before use. Colder temperatures will increase these times; higher temperatures will speed up curing but may affect colour and strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat weather conditions can I install TileJam in?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe weather must be dry with no rain or frost forecast within 48 hours of application.

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\u003eWhy choose Yorkstone over Limestone or Stone Grey in the Smooth range?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYorkstone is a warm, buff-toned colour that works particularly well alongside Yorkstone flags, Cotswold Stone, buff sandstone and Indian Stone. If your paving has warm, golden or honey tones, Yorkstone will give you a much more natural, colour-matched joint than a cooler grey. If you're unsure which colour suits your stone, \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 Yorkstone 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. 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 Smooth Yorkstone?\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. 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. 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.

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.

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.

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\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGareth Wilson:\u003c\/strong\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. 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. 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.

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.

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.

Ultimately, it means less time on the job and more profit in your pocket.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJordan Clayton, owner of Next Level Landscapes Ltd (courtesy of Instarmac Group Plc):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e“Flowpoint is our go-to product when it comes to jointing all our paving.

I’ve spent over 25 years in construction, including work with Tarmac and Instarmac, and our small team cares about helping you get the job right. These are the questions we hear most often.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Flowpoint Fine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA flowable, cement-based paving grout with a fine, smooth finish. This page is for one Charcoal 25kg bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat joint sizes suit it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidths from 2–50mm and a minimum target depth of 20mm, up to 200mm in one application where the project specification permits. Clear loose bedding first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it with porcelain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, on suitably bedded porcelain with compatible joint dimensions and primer. The charcoal colour works particularly well when you want a dark line against grey or dark porcelain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does it set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInitial set for this 25kg bag is approximately 30 minutes at 20°C. Conditions can change that timing, so follow the bag instructions and watch the joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen can I walk or drive on it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApproximately one hour for light foot traffic and four hours for vehicles at 20°C, provided the full paving construction is ready. Cold conditions can slow setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for patios, driveways and public areas?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, where the entire bound paving system is designed for the use and expected loads. Grout cannot compensate for an unsuitable base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it on natural stone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, with compatible stone and a trial area, especially for absorbent or dark surfaces. We recommend a compatible temporary pre-grout sealer for black limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it meet BS 7533?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe supplied product information states conformity to BS 7533. Check the current bag technical sheet and full construction specification when compliance matters to your project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much water do I add?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4.25 litres of clean water per full 25kg bag.\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure it rather than guessing; the 20kg tubs use a different amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I apply it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrepare joints and slabs, mix the bag with measured water, pour and squeegee into the joints, and clean excess once the joint is firm. Read the Mixing \u0026amp; Application tab before you start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long is it workable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout 5–15 minutes, temperature dependent.

Screens and wet grout can make shades look different, so try a sample beside your slabs if colour matching matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does Fine differ from Standard and Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFine has no visible aggregate and works from a 2mm joint width.

Check the current bag guidance and the full bedding and drainage design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I work in rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome Flowpoint applications can tolerate light rain, but check this bag's weather and temperature limits. Protect fresh work from heavy rain and frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a temporary pre-grout treatment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt can help with clean-down on porous or textured paving. Test compatibility and follow its instructions; preparation may differ from the standard wetting method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long is the shelf life?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEight months from manufacture on the unopened bag when stored dry and frost-free at 5–30°C. Heat and humidity can shorten it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow many bags will I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne 25kg bag yields approximately 13.90 litres of mixed grout.
