UltraScape Flowpoint Smooth Rapid Set External Paving Grout – Charcoal

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

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

For peace of mind, Ultrascape Flowpoint exceeds all the requirements of the latest British Standard BS 7533. Flowpoint has been widely used over the last 20 years for a variety of projects including public realm, landscaping, streetscape projects and many non-commercial domestic patios and gardens.

The number of bags of Flowpoint Smooth you’ll need depends on the area in square metres of your patio, the width & length of your slabs, & the width and depth of your joints. As a general rule, for porcelain tiles 600mm x 900mm; with joints 5mm x 20mm you’ll use one bag of Flowpoint per 30m2. For a mixed pack of sandstone slabs you’ll need approximately one bag per 12-20m2, granite setts use more Flowpoint due to their size and depth – you’ll need one bag per 1.5-2m2.
