Geo-Fix Grey Paving Jointing Compound is a pre-mixed, self-curing material for paving joints.

Who This Product Is For

This jointing compound is designed for homeowners, landscapers, and paving contractors working on domestic or commercial projects. It suits joint filling for driveways, patios, footpaths, and other paved areas that require a durable, weed-resistant finish.

Key Features

• Ready-to-use compound: No mixing required, reducing preparation time and labour.
• Weather resistant: Withstands frost, salt, UV exposure, and seasonal conditions.
• Wide material compatibility: Suitable for stone, concrete, clay, slate, terracotta, granite, and similar paving.
• Weed control: Limits plant growth between joints, reducing upkeep.
• Water permeable: Allows drainage through joints, helping reduce surface water build-up.
• Rapid curing: Sets in around 2–3 hours under normal conditions.
• High strength: Compressive strength comparable to 4:1 mortar once fully set.

Key Benefits

• Speeds up joint filling compared to sand and cement methods.
• Protects joints from rain, frost, and UV exposure.
• Maintains a clean appearance by resisting weed growth and washout.
• Semi-rigid set allows natural expansion and contraction without cracking.
• Non-staining finish for neat paving lines.
• No ongoing maintenance once cured.

Practical Applications

Geo-Fix suits driveways, footpaths, patios, pedestrian areas, and covered porchways. It works best in joints 5mm or wider and at least 25mm deep. Suitable for domestic and commercial projects, including areas with occasional light vehicle use. Not suitable for chamfered or tapered V-shaped joints. Compatible with Indian stone, natural stone, concrete paving, slate, clay pavers, terracotta, granite, and cobbles.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This compound is used during the jointing stage after paving stones are laid and the surface is prepared. It replaces traditional mortar pointing, providing a faster application that cures to a semi-rigid finish. The material is applied to dry, clean joints, compacted firmly, and finished before curing begins.

Correct usage involves checking joints meet minimum size requirements, ensuring surfaces are completely dry, and protecting the fresh compound from rain until fully cured. It forms part of the final surfacing process before the area is returned to use.

How to Use

1. Surface preparation
   • Clear joints of debris, dirt, loose material, and oil. For heavy moss or algae, clean the surface with a patio cleaner before jointing.
   • Check joints are at least 5mm wide and 25mm deep. For deeper joints, part-fill with dry sand.
   • Confirm the surface and joints are fully dry before application.
   • Only use bags that feel firm, showing the vacuum seal remains intact.
2. Application
   • Open the vacuum-packed bag and spread compound over 2–3m² at a time.
   • Sweep into joints using a soft brush at a 45° angle.
   • Compact firmly using a trowel or similar tool. A vibrating plate suits larger areas.
   • Top up and compact again so joints are fully filled.
   • Remove excess material with a soft brush at a 45° angle.
3. Finishing
   • Tool the joint surface for an even finish before the compound begins to set.
   • Use within 45 minutes of opening at temperatures up to 20°C, or within 30 minutes in warmer conditions.
4. Curing
   • Protect joints from rain until curing completes.
   • Allow 2–3 hours before light foot traffic.
   • Wait at least 24 hours before regular use.
   • Avoid pressure washing for 14 days. Keep a minimum distance of 15cm and use a fan nozzle.

Storage and Maintenance Tips

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, between -5°C and +30°C.
• Keep packaging sealed and protected from punctures.
• Do not use bags that feel soft, as the vacuum seal may be broken.
• Use material from the same batch to maintain colour consistency.
• Unopened shelf life is up to 24 months when stored correctly.
• Once cured, remove residue from paving with a stiff brush.

Not Suitable For

• Chamfered or tapered V-shaped joints
• Joints less than 5mm wide or 25mm deep
