Flowpoint Fine Natural Grey — Part Pallet Deal: 20 x 20KG Tubs

'All the Performance of a Full Pallet — Half the Quantity. Joints from 2mm, No Visible Aggregate, Sets in 15 Minutes.'

Need Flowpoint Fine Natural Grey but not quite a full pallet? This 20 x 20KG part pallet deal gives you the same professional-grade product at a better rate than buying single tubs — ideal for medium-sized projects or where storage space is a consideration. For larger projects or maximum value, see our full pallet deal (40 x 20KG, free delivery).

Flowpoint Fine is the most specialist grade in the Flowpoint range. Unlike Standard, Smooth or ECO — all of which have a visible aggregate finish — Flowpoint Fine has no visible aggregate at all. The result is a super-smooth, tile-like joint in clean, neutral Natural Grey, particularly well suited to porcelain, pale natural stone and inside-outside flooring schemes. Joints from just 2mm. Sets in 15 minutes at 20°C. Open to vehicles in 4 hours. Lasts up to 40 years.

How to Apply — Quick Reference

Important: always use 3.4L per 20KG, not the Standard grade ratio of 4.25L.

1. Clear joints of debris. Pre-soak paving and remove all standing water (leaf blower is ideal) — or apply a temporary pre-sealer and skip the pre-soak.
2. Add 3.4L water to bucket, gradually add powder, mix 3–5 minutes with paddle mixer until smooth.
3. Mix only what you can apply in approx. 4 minutes. Never store mixed mortar or add extra water.
4. Pour over paving, squeegee into joints with a long-handled neoprene squeegee. Keep surface damp throughout.
5. Thumb test to confirm joints are firm before washing off. Never wash too early.
6. Clean down with brush and copious clean water. No mortar to remain on surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is UltraScape Flowpoint Fine?

A rapid-set slurry jointing mortar with high-fluid consistency for rigid, bound, void-free joints. Joints from 2–50mm, sets in 15 minutes at 20°C, no visible aggregate, BS 7533 compliant, lasts up to 40 years.

What size joints can it be used for?

2mm to 50mm wide, 20–200mm deep in a single application. The 2mm minimum makes it the go-to for tight-jointed porcelain.

Can it be used on porcelain?

Yes — designed for it. Flows into joints from 2mm without bridging. Use Tile Rite Patio Prep to protect porcelain against grout haze.

How quickly does it set?

15 minutes at 20°C. In hot weather, work in the cooler part of the day. Always thumb test before washing off.

How long before vehicles can use the area?

4 hours at 20°C. Foot traffic after 1 hour.

How much water do I add?

3.4 litres per 20KG tub — not the 4.25L used by other Flowpoint grades. Critical: wrong ratio affects finish and strength.

How do I know when to wash off?

Thumb test — joint feels firm, no bleed. Keep slabs damp with a light mist. Washing too early is the most common mistake on Flowpoint Fine.

Can it be used on granite setts?

Yes — cleaner, more defined finish than aggregate grades. Coverage approx. 1.5–2m² per tub on setts.

Can it be used on black limestone?

With a temporary pre-sealer (e.g. Tile Rite Patio Prep), yes. Without one, oxidisation can occur. Call us if unsure.

Is it permeable?

No — non-permeable cementitious grout. Must be applied on a solid, non-permeable bed.

Can it be used in the rain?

Yes — light rain is fine. Clear standing water from joints first.

Do I need to pre-seal before grouting?

With a pre-sealer: apply in advance, skip the water pre-soak.
Without a sealer: wet paving thoroughly, remove all standing water. Damp, not waterlogged.

What's the shelf life?

8 months from manufacture (printed on tub), stored sealed in cool, dry, frost-free conditions between 5°C and 30°C.

How much do I need per m²?

Approx. 11–12m² per tub (natural stone); 30–40m² (large-format porcelain, 3mm joints); 1.5–2m² (granite setts). Use the calculator on the single tub page for a precise figure.

Why is Flowpoint Fine in a tub, not a bag?

The 20KG tub format is specific to Flowpoint Fine — all other grades come in 25KG bags. Supplied as a bag inside the tub — check the inner bag colour matches the lid before use.
