To apply Flowpoint Premium ECO Paving Grout, paving should be free from debris & ponded water. The paving surface & joints should be pre-soaked & kept lightly damp with a consistent light spray of water, until the jointing process has been completed. The grout is then simply poured over the paving slabs, carefully pushed into the joints with a neoprene squeegee, then washed off once it has hardened sufficiently.

With a forty year heritage, Flowpoint has been widely used across the world on a variety of prestigious schemes including public realm, landscaping, streetscape projects and thousands of domestic patios.

How long does Flowpoint Premium ECO Paving Grout take to set?

After mixing, Flowpoint Premium ECO Paving Grout can take as little as 15-30 minutes to set (temperature is 20oC). However, as a rule of thumb – the hotter the temperature, the faster Flowpoint will set, in colder temperatures it’ll take a little longer for Flowpoint to set. The secret is to keep the area misted with light spray of water, and keep checking the joints for firmness, once you get a very light thumbprint it’s pretty much set, start with a light wash off with water and a soft brush, and then a second wash with a stiffer brush to remove any stubborn grout left behind.

Is Flowpoint Premium ECO Paving Grout permeable?

No, Flowpoint Premium Paving Grout is a non-permeable, cementitious-based grout – this means that it doesn’t allow water to pass through it once set. You’ll need a fall on the patio to allow water to drain off the surface.

How many bags of Flowpoint Premium ECO Paving Grout do I need?

The number of bags of Flowpoint Premium ECO Paving Grout in Limestone needed to joint between paving slabs, tiles or setts depends on the area in square metres that you have to pave, the width and length of your slabs, and the width and depth of your joints. Under the image above, you will find a handy calculator to help you work this out. But, as a general rule of thumb, for larger format porcelain tiles 600mm x 900mm; with a joint width of 5mm and depth of 20mm you’ll use one bag of Flowpoint Premium ECO per 30m2. For a mixed pack of sandstone slabs you’ll use one bag on average for every 20m2, and for granite setts that are much smaller in area and have a need for a deeper joint you’ll use on average one bag per 1.5-2m2.

Can you use Flowpoint Premium ECO Paving Grout in the rain?

A handy tip is to use a leaf blower to blow the water out of joints, and off your patio.
