Common Questions
Still unsure about which Flowpoint grade to choose? Find the answers to all the common questions we get on the matter. Get in touch if you need some extra help.
How is Flowpoint Premium different from other grouts in the range?
Flowpoint Premium includes the same trusted formula as Flowpoint Standard in two premium grout colours: Limestone and Stone Grey.
Why is Flowpoint Premium more expensive?
The premium grades in the Flowpoint range do come at a slightly higher price. That’s mainly down to the specialist pigments needed to achieve the Stone Grey and Limestone colours. These colourants cost more to source and manufacture, which is reflected in the final price.
What’s the difference between Flowpoint Fine and Smooth?
Flowpoint Smooth offers a traditional look with a refined finish, using a fine but visible aggregate – perfect for joint widths from 3mm and great with materials like porcelain or natural stone.
Flowpoint Fine, on the other hand, is designed for super-thin joints down to 2mm, with an ultra-fine aggregate that delivers a sleek, seamless finish – ideal for modern paving with a contemporary indoor finish.
Is Porcelpoint part of the Flowpoint range?
Yes, Porcelpoint is the premium version of Flowpoint Fine, in the new grout colours of Limestone and Stone Grey.
Are there times to avoid using Flowpoint?
When using some darker limestones such as black limestone, there can be a slight oxidisation when using Flowpoint.
Also, avoid using Flowpoint on a hot, sunny day as the grout will set in no time. During warm weather, install the grout during the cooler parts of the day such as the morning or late afternoon.
What’s the best foundation for using Flowpoint?
Always lay your slabs or pavers on a solid, non-permeable bed – Eco-Bed Bedding Mortar is ideal. Make sure each slab is fully bonded to the bedding layer, and use a slurry primer like Pro-Prime for extra strength and adhesion.
Using the combination of Eco-Bed, Pro-Prime and one of the Flowpoint grouts meet BS 7533 standards, giving your paving a lifespan of up to 40 years without needing to regrout.
Do I need to pre-seal my paving?
Not always. But if you’re working with porous stone like slate or black granite, pre-sealing helps prevent grout staining. We recommend ProJoint Pre-Grout Sealer – it’s invisible, easy to use and works on most natural and concrete paving.
