Who This Product Is For

This jointing compound is designed for professional landscapers, paving contractors, and serious DIY homeowners installing porcelain paving. It suits those working on outdoor projects where consistent, weed-resistant joints are needed.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This jointing compound is used during the final stages of porcelain paving installation, after slabs have been laid and levelled. It fills the gaps between slabs to create finished, stable joints that resist movement and weed growth.

The process involves wetting the paved area, mixing the compound with water, brushing it into the joints, then cleaning off excess material. Once cured, the joints provide a durable finish that completes the paving installation.

Storage and Maintenance Tips

• Reseal any opened product securely and store it in a dry location.
• Always clean tools with water immediately after use.
• Monitor applied joints regularly and refill if necessary.
• If you need a deeper wash-down after installation, use a stone path, patio and facade cleaner once the joints have fully cured.
