Geo-Fix All Weather Paving Joint Compound | Permament Joint Filler for Dry and Wet Conditions with Hydrophobic Characteristics - Grey - 20 kg

Product Information

Let it set for a bit and don’t worry about the sand that didn’t make it’s way into a gap, damp it down a little bit – don’t flush out the sand that’s already in and firm! With a soft broom remove the excess but be sure to pull that over the joints to top up any shallow points. They say to use a finishing bar to neaten it up – that’s up to you in my opinion – any ridges are almost always the perfect seed trap 😀 I always keep my grout flush where I can.

Already the recognised market leader for many years Geo-Fix is now joined by a new break through formula, Sponge Machines & Ancillaries We supply a range of indoor & outdoor sponge machines from Refina & Berta which are suitable for cleaning epoxy & cement grouts such as UltraScape Flowpoint from quarry tiles, external paving slabs, natural stone and granite setts. Our range of sponge machines protects the joints between paving slabs by avoiding washing away the cement, whilst the machine removes the need for individuals to wash away grout on their hands and knees.In terms of install – as the video neatly breaks down for you (I’ve started the video at the right place to save you time), you really want to wet those stones and saturate them. From there it’s pretty much follow my guide – they recommend a stiff broom to move the sand about – this is pretty obvious given wet sand won’t budge with a soft one. This is a relatively new product and I’m always apprehensive to bring in new products but this is worth a shout especially since they know exactly what they are up to: A fast-drying product that can be applied even on drizzly days, this Geo-Fix All Weather Paving Joint Compound is one of the best patio grouts if you want a slate grey finish. Can be used on joint widths of a minimum of 5mm wide and a minimum of 15mm deep. Semi‐rigid allowing for expansion and contraction of paving. To apply this grout, it can help to have an extra person on hand to make the process easier. A lot of water needs to be added during application – so it’s best if one person sweeps the compound into the joints whilst the other adds the water. This grout can be applied in all weathers, so there’s no need to wait for a sunny day.

As the company cannot be aware of all the applications and materials the product may be used on, it is the user’s responsibility to determine suitability for use. Product informationThe 14 kg tub should cover around 20 m², although some customers find that they use more product than anticipated, so be aware that you may have to use more than you expect. Additionally, this grout must only be applied in dry conditions. It shouldn’t be used if rain is expected within 24 hours. One thing you should watch for when using this compound is the drying time. I have seen anything up to just under a week for it to be fully cured. So if you’ve laid new stone on sand I would give a little time to settle anyway. It won’t be a problem if it rains though, this product holds up just fine. If you have an ant problem this isn’t a bad shout. Most of the ranges reviewed in this article work but Sika Pave Fix Plus Buff make a point of advertising this specific compound as resistant to ants. It’s super annoying watching an army of ants pushing up sand from your patio and well worth dealing with the problem as soon as possible.

It also forms a solid joint that resists weed and plant growth, yet is permeable allowing water to escape to prevent ponding. Sika FastFix is extremely versatile and can be used on many different stones, Flagstones, Cobbles, Indian Sandstone, and Patio slabs to name a few. It’s extremely easy to apply to. Following the clear instructions are a doddle. You only need a brush and a jointing trowel. This patio compound brushes in and is like sand in a joint. So if you’re grouting again or laying a new patio, this is a great choice that won’t let you down. A brush in version is particularly handy if you have uneven stone levels. It’ll help you get it pretty close with a brush before pressing in firmly. Grout will prevent paving slabs from moving. It also prevents weeds from growing between the slabs and reduces water damage. When patios are fixed with grout they look neat and professionally finished. Different Types of Patio Grout This type of grout tends to be more durable than pre-mixed grout. Once hardened, it should last over 10 years, and your patio should also be able to withstand jet washing. Traditional Sand and Cement Mix There’s no need to go any further. This is a self setting patio grout so the job is now done. The Sika takes about an hour and a half to start to set on the surface and you really need to leave it a whole day before it’s fully hardened, in my experience using this product. This was a warm sunny day so it would probably take considerably longer if it’s cold. Clean and seal your patio afterOnce your patio has been laid (if you are laying a new one) fully wet it using a garden hose. You’ll need a lot of water for the resin to bind with, otherwise you may end up with stains.
