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.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2. What is Flowpoint Smooth used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom domestic patios and driveways to town centre pedestrian schemes, pathways and carriageways. Suitable for natural stone, concrete flags and clay pavers, and particularly well suited to smooth or polished surfaces where a seamless, void-free finish is required.\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 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 particularly suited to smooth or polished surfaces. 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?\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. Unsure? \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. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e6. What is the set time for Flowpoint Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitial set in 15 minutes at 20°C. Colder conditions extend the set, warmer ones shorten it. Always use the thumb test before cleaning down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e7. How long before you can walk on Flowpoint Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight foot traffic is possible after approximately 1 hour. In colder conditions allow a little longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e8. How long before vehicles can drive over Flowpoint Smooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVehicular traffic after approximately 4 hours. Ideal for driveways 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 — Flowpoint Smooth conforms to and exceeds BS 7533. It is NBS Source registered and approved for use on the London Underground and Overground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e10. Can Flowpoint Smooth Charcoal be used on porcelain paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — particularly well suited to charcoal or grey porcelain where joints are 3mm or wider. 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 polished surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e11. Can Flowpoint Smooth Charcoal be used on natural stone paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — granite setts, slate, darker sandstone, Indian Stone and Yorkstone. Always carry out a small trial first.

Is Flowpoint Smooth suitable for large paving areas?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely — large-scale application is one of Flowpoint Smooth's core strengths. A full pallet of 56 bags gives contractors the volume to work a substantial area in a single session without interruption.\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.

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. Ultimately, it means less time on the job and more profit in your pocket.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproved for Use on the London Underground \u0026amp; Overground\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth is approved for use on the London Underground and London Overground and is NBS Source registered — making it straightforward to specify on commercial and public realm projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Flowpoint Myths — Busted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMyth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Truth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMyth #1: Flowpoint is a new product\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowpoint has been in use for over 25 years.

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. Ultimately, it means less time on the job and more profit in your pocket.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJORDAN CLAYTON\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Flowpoint is our go-to product when it comes to jointing all our paving.

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. Setting times are dependent on temperature — cooler conditions slow the set, warmer temperatures accelerate it. Light foot traffic is possible after 1 hour; vehicular traffic after 4 hours. Always use the thumb test to confirm the joint is firm before washing off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long before vehicles can drive over Flowpoint Fine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Fine can accept vehicular traffic after approximately \u003cstrong\u003e4 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e, depending on temperature and site conditions. Light foot traffic is possible after 1 hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Flowpoint Fine used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Fine is used for jointing natural stone, concrete flags, porcelain tiles and clay pavers. It is suitable for driveways, patios and other paved areas where a rigid, bound and void-free joint is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Flowpoint Fine be used on natural stone paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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. 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 is suitable for patios constructed using natural stone, concrete flags, porcelain tiles and clay pavers, creating a rigid, bound and weed-resistant joint 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. UltraScape Flowpoint Fine conforms to the strict demands of BS 7533, making it suitable for paving applications requiring a rigid or bound, void-free joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much water do you add to Flowpoint Fine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 20kg tub of Flowpoint Fine requires \u003cstrong\u003e3.4 litres of water\u003c\/strong\u003e. Mix for approximately 3–5 minutes until a smooth, lump-free consistency is achieved. 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. Keep the surface moist during application and clean thoroughly once the mortar has hardened — use the thumb test to confirm it's ready before washing off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long is Flowpoint Fine workable for after mixing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Fine has a workability time of approximately \u003cstrong\u003e5–15 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e, depending on temperature. Mix only what you can apply in around 4 minutes — do not store liquid mortar and never remix or add extra water once mixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour is UltraScape Flowpoint Fine Natural Grey?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Fine Natural Grey produces a clean, neutral grey joint that complements a wide range of paving materials — particularly porcelain, pale natural stone and inside-outside flooring schemes. Also available in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flowpoint-fine-rapid-set-external-paving-grout-20kg-charcoal\"\u003eCharcoal\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Flowpoint Fine and how is it different from other Flowpoint grades?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Fine is the most specialist grade in the Flowpoint range. Unlike Standard, ECO and Smooth — which all have a visible aggregate finish — Flowpoint Fine has no visible aggregate at all, producing a super-smooth, tile-like joint. It fills joints from just 2mm (vs 3mm for Smooth and 5mm for Standard), uses a different water ratio (3.4L per 20kg vs 4.25L per 25kg), and comes in a 20kg tub rather than a 25kg bag. It's the product of choice for porcelain paving, smooth natural stone, and inside-outside flooring schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Flowpoint Fine come in Limestone or Stone Grey?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot under the Flowpoint Fine name — but effectively yes. When Instarmac introduced Limestone and Stone Grey to the Fine range, they gave them a new product name: \u003cstrong\u003ePorcelpoint\u003c\/strong\u003e. It's the same ultra-fine, aggregate-free formulation as Flowpoint Fine, just in lighter, stone-matching colours. So if you need the Fine finish in a pale tone, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ultrascape-porcelpoint-flowable-porcelain-grout-limestone\"\u003ePorcelpoint Limestone\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ultrascape-porcelpoint-flowable-porcelain-grout-stone-grey\"\u003ePorcelpoint Stone Grey\u003c\/a\u003e is what you're looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Flowpoint Fine to create an inside-outside look?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely — this is one of the most popular applications for Flowpoint Fine. Its super-smooth, aggregate-free finish replicates the look of high-quality internal tiling grout, making it ideal for anyone wanting to create a seamless visual flow between their kitchen or conservatory floor and their garden patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Flowpoint Fine with black limestone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint can cause oxidisation on some darker limestones such as black limestone — however, the new generation of temporary pre-sealers, such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep Temporary Sealer\u003c\/a\u003e, prevent this.

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

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.

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. Pour onto the paving and work 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 throughout. Once initial set is reached, clean down with a brush and plenty of clean water. 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. What colours does Flowpoint Smooth come in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth is available in Charcoal and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/25kg-ultrascape-flowpoint-smooth-natural-grey\"\u003eNatural Grey\u003c\/a\u003e.

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. Do I need to pre-seal my slabs before using Flowpoint Smooth?\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.

The surface should be damp, not waterlogged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e25. 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. Using the product after the declared storage period may increase the risk of an allergic reaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e26. How much Flowpoint Smooth do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoverage varies depending on joint size and depth, paving stone size, surface absorption and wastage. Use the Flowpoint Calculator on this page for an accurate estimate, or call us and we'll work it out for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e27. How long does Flowpoint Smooth last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen applied correctly on a properly prepared bed, Flowpoint Smooth Charcoal can last up to 40 years without the need to re-grout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e28. 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. On all bags, the specific colour variant (Natural Grey or Charcoal) is printed on the white strip on the side of the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWatch the video...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The videos below show Flowpoint Fine being applied.

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.

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 BS 7533. Pre-mixed in 25kg showerproof bags, it requires only the addition of water on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2. What is Flowpoint Smooth used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom domestic patios and driveways to town centre pedestrian schemes, pathways and carriageways. Suitable for natural stone, concrete flags and clay pavers, and particularly well suited to smooth or polished surfaces where a seamless, void-free finish is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3. How is Flowpoint Smooth different from Flowpoint Standard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth handles joints from 3mm — two millimetres tighter than Standard (5mm minimum). Its high fluid consistency produces a seamless finish particularly suited to smooth or polished surfaces. Compressive strength, water ratio and trafficking times are identical to Standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e4. Why choose Charcoal over Natural Grey?\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. Unsure? \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eSend us a photo\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll advise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e5.

A full pallet of 56 bags covers substantial areas and is delivered free to your site on a shrinkwrapped pallet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Do Industry Experts Say About Flowpoint?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth has been trusted on demanding projects for over 20 years.

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. Ultimately, it means less time on the job and more profit in your pocket.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproved for Use on the London Underground \u0026amp; Overground\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth is approved for use on the London Underground and London Overground and is NBS Source registered — making it a natural choice for architects, specifiers and contractors working on public realm and commercial projects at any scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Flowpoint Myths — Busted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMyth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Truth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMyth #1: Flowpoint is a new product\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowpoint has been in use for over 25 years.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2.

Suitable for natural stone, concrete flags and clay pavers, and particularly well suited to smooth or polished surfaces where a seamless, void-free finish is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3.

Its high fluid consistency produces a seamless, void-free joint particularly suited to smooth or polished surfaces. 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.

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. Pour onto the paving and work 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 throughout. Once initial set is reached, clean down with a brush and plenty of clean water. Mix only what you can place in approximately 4 minutes — never add more water or remix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e16. 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\u003e17. 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\u003e18. What colours does Flowpoint Smooth come in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth is available in Natural Grey and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/25kg-ultrascape-flowpoint-smooth-charcoal\"\u003eCharcoal\u003c\/a\u003e.

Can Flowpoint Smooth be used on darker limestone such as black limestone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint can cause oxidisation on some darker limestones without protection — however, temporary pre-sealers such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep\u003c\/a\u003e prevent this by creating a protective barrier between the stone and the grout.

Can Flowpoint Smooth be used in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Flowpoint Smooth can be applied in light rain, and damp conditions can extend your working window. The key requirement is that joints are clear of ponded water before you begin. Do not apply during heavy rain or when frost is forecast within 24 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e21. 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\u003e22.

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.

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. Ultimately, it means less time on the job and more profit in your pocket.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJORDAN CLAYTON\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Flowpoint is our go-to product when it comes to jointing all our paving.

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.

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.

When Instarmac introduced Limestone and Stone Grey to the Fine range, they gave them a new product name: \u003cstrong\u003ePorcelpoint\u003c\/strong\u003e.

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 BS 7533. Pre-mixed in 25kg showerproof bags, it requires only the addition of water on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2. What is Flowpoint Smooth used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom domestic patios and driveways to town centre pedestrian schemes, pathways and carriageways.

How is Flowpoint Smooth different from Flowpoint Standard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowpoint Smooth handles joints from 3mm — two millimetres tighter than Standard (5mm minimum). Its high fluid consistency produces a seamless finish particularly suited to smooth or polished surfaces. Compressive strength, water ratio and trafficking times are identical to Standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e4. Why choose Charcoal over Natural Grey?\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. Unsure? \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eSend us a photo\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll advise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e5.

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

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

Curing times can vary depending on the weather — colder and wetter conditions can delay the curing speed significantly. Full strength is reached at 28 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the best way to maintain my joints?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKeeping your paving joints clean is simple — sweep the area regularly to remove dirt, leaves and debris. This helps stop weeds from taking root. For a deeper clean to remove algae and dirt, our ProJoint Black Spot and Algae Remover will blast through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be used on natural stone tiles as well as porcelain?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — RapidFlow works brilliantly with both porcelain and natural stone tiles, giving you versatility across your paving projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat weather conditions can I apply RapidFlow in?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLight rain is no problem. Just avoid heavy rain or freezing temperatures, as these can damage the curing process. Apply when surface temperature is between 3°C and 25°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I open the tub and re-use it on a later date?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOnce opened, the air will start the curing process. To stop this, put any excess material back in the tub and submerge it in water — this cuts out the oxygen and can give you up to a month of extra usage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is RapidFlow used?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRapidFlow is perfect for porcelain, natural stone and concrete patios, paths and other areas with foot traffic only.

Thoroughly soak the paving surface, tip the product onto the wet paving, and use a hard-bristle brush to sweep it diagonally into the joints. Keep the surface saturated throughout. Once the joints are filled, soak the area again and allow 15–45 minutes for the product to settle. Finish by removing any excess with a soft brush and compacting the joints if needed. Full step-by-step guidance is in the application section above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do you grout a patio with Joint-It Simple?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrouting a patio with Joint-It Simple is straightforward: ensure your paving is firmly bedded on a permeable base with joints at least 3mm wide and 25mm deep, then soak the paving thoroughly, brush in the product, keep the surface wet throughout, and allow it to settle before finishing. It's one of the easiest ways to grout a patio without traditional sand and cement pointing — no specialist skills or mixing equipment required. See the full 4-step guide above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do you apply resin jointing compound?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoint-It Simple is not a resin jointing compound — it's a cement-free, polymer-bonded brush-in paving jointing mortar. This is an important distinction: resin jointing compounds such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/joint-it-dynamic-22kg-two-part-resin-paving-jointing-system\"\u003eJoint-It Dynamic\u003c\/a\u003e involve a two-part chemical curing reaction and are suitable for both permeable and non-permeable bases.

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

It's a ready-to-use, ready-mixed formulation that comes straight out of the bucket with no measuring, no mixing and no specialist skills required. You just need a hard-bristle brush, a soft-bristle brush and clean water.

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.

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.

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.

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. If you're working with darker stones, \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\u003eHow long does it last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplied correctly, up to 40 years without the need to re-grout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the set time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30 minutes at 20°C, walkable after 1 hour. Cooler conditions slow it down; warmer ones speed it up.

Must always be applied on a solid, non-permeable bed with adequate drainage fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — light rain is fine, and a damp day can actually help slow the set down. 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. Without a sealer: thoroughly wet the paving, remove all standing water, and keep the surface damp throughout.\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. Using it after the declared storage period may increase the risk of an allergic reaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the Flowpoint Calculator on this page for an accurate estimate, or call us and we'll work it out for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWatch the video…\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The videos below show Flowpoint Fine being applied.

It handles joints from 3mm to 30mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size joints can FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP be used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFUGA-PAVE FLEX XP is suitable for joints from approximately 3mm to 30mm. Always check the latest manufacturer’s technical data before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much water do you add to FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended mixing ratio is approximately 0.845 litres of clean water to one 5kg tub, up to a maximum of 1 litre. Always measure the water accurately and keep the ratio consistent to maintain even colour and strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you mix FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd the measured water to a clean mixing bucket and gradually add the grout powder while mixing. Mix until you achieve a smooth, consistent, lump-free material. Allow the mixture to stand briefly before remixing and applying. FLEX XP has a pot life of approximately 60 minutes under standard conditions — this reduces in warmer weather, so only mix what you can use within that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you apply FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpread the mixed grout over the paving using a suitable rubber grout float or squeegee, working diagonally across the joints. Press the grout firmly into the joints to ensure they are completely filled, then remove excess material from the paving surface. Do not leave gaps or voids — these allow water ingress and can lead to premature joint failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you clean FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP from paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the grout starts to firm up — typically after 15–30 minutes — clean the paving using a damp sponge or suitable \u003ca href=\"\/products\/raimondi-pedalo-large-floor-washboy-kit\"\u003ewashboy\u003c\/a\u003e and clean water. 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. These are manufacturer’s guide figures and will vary depending on temperature, joint depth and site conditions — always refer to the current technical data sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen can I walk on paving after grouting with FLEX XP?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder normal UK conditions, light foot traffic is typically possible after approximately 24 hours. Avoid heavy loads, wheeled traffic and sustained wet weather exposure for around 7 days while the grout reaches full strength. Actual timing depends on site conditions — if in doubt, wait a little longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoverage depends on joint width, joint depth and slab size. As a guide, one 5KG tub covers approximately 5–7m² of typical porcelain paving with standard joint widths — though this varies with larger-format slabs or wider joints. For larger projects, our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/fuga-pave-flex-xp-grout-15kg-formally-fuga-pave-part-c\"\u003e15KG bucket\u003c\/a\u003e (which contains 3 x 5KG bags) offers better value. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eGive us a call\u003c\/a\u003e and we’ll work out the right quantity with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP be used on natural stone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP can be used with suitable natural stone paving as well as porcelain. With porous or sensitive stone, we recommend testing a small area first and following the paving manufacturer’s recommendations. Pre-sealing with a product such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tile-rite-patio-prep-temporary-sealer-5l-for-natural-stone-porcelain\"\u003eTile Rite Patio Prep\u003c\/a\u003e is also a good idea to help protect against grout haze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP help prevent efflorescence and white staining?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP is formulated to significantly reduce the risk of efflorescence — the white haze or powdery residue that can appear on paving grout joints, particularly in wet conditions. No cement-based grout can guarantee zero efflorescence in all circumstances, but FLEX XP is specifically engineered to minimise this risk. Following the correct mixing ratio and avoiding over-watering during clean-up also helps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat colours does FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP come in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFUGA-PAVE FLEX XP is available in five colours: Light Grey, Medium Grey, Anthracite, Limestone and Jasmin.

FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP is designed for outdoor paving applications and provides a durable, flexible grout joint when correctly mixed and installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP suitable for outdoor porcelain patios?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — it’s one of the products we most commonly recommend for porcelain patio projects. Whether you’re laying standard or 20mm porcelain paving, FLEX XP is suitable for joints from 3mm to 30mm and is UV-resistant, colourfast and designed to perform in UK outdoor conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs FUGA-PAVE FLEX XP the same as FUGA-PAVE FLEX CH?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFUGA-PAVE FLEX XP is the direct successor to FUGA-PAVE FLEX CH Grout — its previous brand name. FLEX XP was launched in August 2025 as an upgraded replacement, introducing improved cleaning properties, better workability in colder and damp conditions, and more sustainable reusable packaging. The mixing ratios and application method are the same, making the switch straightforward for anyone who has used FLEX CH before. Both products fulfil the grout component role within the FUGA-PAVE system — also referred to as Part C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does choosing the right grout matter for outdoor tiling?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcelain patios and natural stone paving are a significant investment, so choosing the right grout can help deliver a better-looking, longer-lasting installation and reduce the risk of problems and call-backs. 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. For the vast majority of porcelain and natural stone paving installations, FLEX XP is the practical, professional choice.

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\u003eIs TileJam suitable for permeable paving?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo — TileJam is designed for non-permeable beds only, where paving sits on a solid concrete or impermeable sub-base and water drains across the surface rather than through the joints. 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. 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.\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.
