Freezing weather will increase the set time and will cause the process to virtually stop, it can take many days for the joints to set fully hard. However EASYJoint will eventually set and the weather conditions will not have impaired its integrity in any way. Additionally, ensure the project has a suitable “fall” to allow surface water to drain away. Base Mix Technically advanced: Years of research and continuous development of our jointing compound makes this a market leader. We sell tens of thousands of EASYJoint tubs every month throughout the UK and in Europe.

Work cleanly, clearing both the sand grains and the binding oil from the surface as you go. Keep washing until the “rainbow effect” oily water is no longer evident.

This is the most popular colour option within the EASYJoint range. It goes well with light and dark paving slabs and is suitable for almost any project Joint-IT Neutral - Alternative: EASYJoint can be installed dry, however to use this method the paving must be sealed at least 2 - 3 days before the EASYJoint application. The paving slabs must be sealed on five sides (the top and four edges). When applying dry, EASYJoint compound must be compressed, by striking off with a pointing tool into the joints as it will not self-compact in the same way it does when applied with water.

Tiling Adhesives & Grouts We offer a range of tiling adhesives, grouts & silicone for installing porcelain, glass, cement, marble, mosaic, granite and limestone tiles securely to your walls. Our tile adhesives and grouts are heat, mould and water resistant and perfect for fitting tiles in your bathroom or kitchen. Both the EASYJoint and Joint-IT products have their own benefits. If you are unsure of the right paving accessories for your needs, call our team. We have a friendly team of paving specialists that will help ensure you create the right paving for your needs. Yes, theoretically EASYJoint can be used below 3 degrees down to freezing conditions, however in these conditions, the use of lots of water becomes more difficult with a greater risk of staining. Where possible avoid using below 3 degrees, use with caution. Does EASYJoint stain paving slabs?No Waste: Opened tubs of EASYJoint, if not fully used, can be kept for later use providing they are covered by a minimum of 2" (50mm) or more of water. – There is no waste with our jointing compound, EASYJoint is an environmentally friendly product. Maintain the Width of Joint Throughout. Maintain at least a 3mm gap width throughout the depth of the paving material. Never have this type of paving butted together. See photograph. The use of water to wash and fill the joints between the paving is a breakthrough in jointing methodology. It assists the paving grout to compact into the joints so there is no need to ‘strike’ or ‘tool’ the joints unless you want a smooth finish. The two market leaders are EASYJoint and Joint-IT, so lets look at both of these and see which one comes out on top. EASYJoint Some concrete paving is made in moulds and has chamfered edges creating a 'V' shaped joint between two paving slabs, wider at the top than at the bottom. This gap shape can be the most challenging to work with and we recommend you carefully follow the instructions below.

The wash and sweep in application method makes it easy to use and jointing paving is faster than traditional methods The 'Neutral' colour option within the Joint-IT range is almost identical. It has the same pale shades and colours suitable for both dark and light pavers. If heavy or prolonged rain is forecast, it is ideal to wait for drier conditions as heavy rain may disturb sand particles in the EASYJoint mix before it cures solid, giving an uneven texture. Prolonged rain will also extend the curing process. Bedding Mortars We supply a range of fast set, cement & resin based bedding mortars which are ideal for installing manhole covers, utility access covers, frames, highways ironwork and the bonding of granite, sandstone & porphyry setts, paving slabs, flags and bedding kerbs. Our range of high strength, bedding mortars mean roads, footpaths & highways can be reopened to traffic in as little as 40 minutes, meaning less disruption for the general public.

EASYJoint can be applied in virtually any weather conditions, however it is best practice to ensure that ground temperatures are greater than 3 degrees during the grout installation. Once installed, freezing conditions will not impair EASYJoint All Weather Jointing Mortar. To further aid this, “point” or “strike” the joint; do not leave it textured. This ensures the top of the filler is below the top rounded edge of the paving and helps it adhere to the base and sides of the paving material. Paving, Pointing & Grouting We offer a range of pointing and grouting materials for jointing your patio slabs, outdoor paving or driveway including flowable slurry grouts such as UltraScape Flowpoint, brush-in grouts like EasyJoint and gun injected mortar for fine pointing. As well as supplying paving primer, sealants and paving and driveway cleaners. Similarly, while EASYJoint remains wet, either via the application process or through rainfall, the curing process will be suspended. Prolonged periods of rain, or several intermittent showers will considerably extend the setting times. Again, this will not affect the final integrity of the product in any way provided water can drain easily away and so allow even curing throughout the joints (as previously explained) Why use EASYJoint?
