Product Information

Highly water permeable – no pooling on the patio Weed control – provides a natural barrier for weed growth The grout is permeable and fast drying, so water doesn’t pool in the recesses or cause mould or damp. Grout is applied between paving slabs or tiles, keeping them in place, protecting from water damage and preventing weeds. Here’s some advice to help choose the best patio grout.

Welcome to Hankintech! We are a DIY hub designed to not only help you get the job done right, but also connect you with quality tradesmen when extra help is needed! Epoxy grout requires sand to be mixed with an epoxy resin. There are often three components that require mixing together. These may be liquid or solids. Upon reading the instructions, it says that you need to soak the area before applying the paving jointing compound, and to then use a pointing trowel to apply the product between the gaps within the paving slabs. As well as this, if you have any left over then to keep in water as this will give it a life span of approximately 1 month. How did your paving look once you gave it a good sweep/clean? Has the staining gone now that it has had a few weeks to weather in? If you still have staining then could you attach a picture?

Where are you?

Some epoxy grout products come with liquid resin, hardener and sand. Others come with a resin mixed with a sand compound and a hardener mixed with a sand compound. The latter needs water added. The resin and hardener will need to be mixed together in the correct ratio so that the grout will set properly. The mix is combined with water and applied into the joints. The downside is that the weather has to be very dry, as moisture on your patio may lead to staining. Hi Robert, I wouldn’t worry! We’ve had the paving jointing compound take a good week before setting before, I think it often depends on the weather!

It seems to have gone well and I’m hoping it will set in the next coupe of days. The only concern I seem to have is that I wonder if it has changed the colour of our stones or is this just an illusion. I applied it the same way as you have described and I don’t believe there is any of the compound remaining on the surface. However, the stones that have the compound in the joins look a little more ‘sandy’. I think that this is just because they now have a buff coloured join as opposed to grey cement which was there previously.Do you have any recommendations for the holes they have created already? Should I just top it up and try to stop them coming out? 🙂 It could be worth reading my article titled ‘how to point and re-point a patio) as this explains my way of removing the old mortar (sand/cement).
