Who This Product Is For

This product is for property owners, landscapers, and contractors working with block paving installations or maintenance projects.

It suits residential driveways, commercial patios, walkways, and hard landscaping areas where weed control and joint stability are priorities.

Key Features

• Moisture-Curing Formula: Reacts with water to create a firm joint that stays intact.

• Weed Prevention Technology: Alters pH levels to stop weeds from taking root.
• Hard-Wearing Composition: Withstands foot and vehicle traffic without breaking down.
• Quick Application: Can be brushed in and activated with water in one process.
• Water Permeable: Allows rain to drain naturally instead of pooling on the surface.

Key Benefits

• Reduces the need for frequent weeding and maintenance.
• Saves time with a simple application method.
• Withstands heavy use without washing out.
• Creates a smooth, even finish for block paving.

Practical Applications

This block paving joining active sand is suitable for various projects that require a strong and lasting jointing material. It is especially effective for:

• Driveways: Forms a solid bond that resists shifting under vehicle pressure.
• Patios and Walkways: Helps maintain an even surface without loose joints.
• Commercial Paving: Suitable for high-footfall areas where stability is needed.
• Paving Restoration: Can be used on existing block paving after thorough cleaning.
• Hard Landscaping: Suitable for outdoor spaces exposed to weather and moisture.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This jointing sand is used during the final stages of block paving installation or restoration, after all blocks are laid and compacted. It follows surface cleaning and precedes the final inspection and clean-up.

The product forms part of a system where joints must be completely dry before application, followed by water activation to initiate the curing process. Proper joint preparation and compaction are necessary for optimal results.

How to Use

1. Surface Preparation
   • Remove any dirt, debris, or old jointing material.
   • Ensure joints are completely dry before starting.
2. Applying the Sand
   • Spread the sand over the surface and brush it into the joints.
   • Compact the material using a Wacker plate or by tapping the joints.
3. Water Activation
   • Lightly spray water over the joints until they are fully saturated.
   • Avoid excessive watering to prevent displacement.
4. Curing Process
   • Leave the surface undisturbed for a few hours.
   • Full curing takes up to 48 hours, depending on conditions.
5. Final Steps
   • Sweep away any excess sand once dry.
   • Inspect for any gaps and top up if needed.

Storage and Maintenance

• Keep the bag sealed and stored in a dry bucket to prevent moisture exposure before use.
• Store in a dry place to maintain effectiveness.
• Regularly inspect joints and reapply if needed in high-use areas.

Joint It FINE secures a strong and weed-resistant finish for your paving. Whether for a new installation or restoration, this jointing sand provides lasting results with minimal effort.

• Product FAQs

  Q: How does this jointing sand prevent weeds?
  A: It raises the pH level within the joints, making it difficult for weeds to grow. It also forms a solid bond that prevents cracks where weeds typically take root.
  Q: Can this be used on existing block paving?
  A: Yes, but all existing weeds must be removed first. Joints should be pressure-washed to eliminate old material, and a weed treatment should be applied before refilling with fresh sand.
  Q: Will heavy rain wash this sand away?
  A: No, once it has set, the material remains in place. It allows water to drain naturally without breaking apart.
  Q: How long does it take to set?
  A: It begins to cure as soon as it is activated with water. Initial setting takes a few hours, while full curing may take up to 48 hours depending on temperature and humidity.
  Q: Is this suitable for areas with high foot traffic?
  A: Yes, it is designed to withstand both pedestrian and vehicle use. It holds firm under pressure, making it a strong choice for driveways, patios, and public spaces.
  Q: Do I need any special tools to apply it?
  A: You can use a brush to spread the sand into the joints and apply water using a hose or spray. For best results, a Wacker plate can be used to compact the material.
