Product Information

Years of research and continuous development of our jointing compound makes this a market leader. Hundreds of thousands of EASYJoint tubs sold globally.

As the name implies, EASYJoint is easy to use – simply soak the paving with water before commencing and then simultaneously sweep and wash the jointing compound into the joints, letting the water take the strain. Overall EASYJoint seems like a good option. It works exactly like it says on the tin and with proper application, there is very little that can go wrong. However, there does seem to be a small issue with production where around 10-20% of the tubs have already set before being opened. Joint-IT We cannot overly stress how important it is to use plenty of water before, during and after the application of EASY Joint. A hose with a fan type nozzle is perfect. Does EASYJoint stain sensitive & porous paving slabs?For a project to be free draining, both the bedding and sub-base must be permeable. To achieve this, assuming a permeable sub-base, where a mortar bedding is used it should be no stronger than 6 parts sand to 1 part cement (6:1). This will ensure good drainage and is perfectly adequate for pedestrian areas. If water is retained in the joint for long periods, rather than passing through, the joint may fail. Weather Conditions Continuously Wash the Paving With Lots of Water. The person with the hose should alternate between following the sweeper to aid washing the compound into the joints and moving ahead of them so that the paving is always wet. This is particularly important in warm/hot weather conditions.

Less water is needed when applying EASYJoint to porcelain paving, as there is little risk of residue staining. You will find that a small amount of water, added to form it into a slurry, will make it easier to fill the joints properly. When applying to porcelain, to ensure an effective joint, the operator MUST strike the joint off, to compact the grout fully. Compaction forces out air and water which helps the joint harden faster. Paving, Pointing & Grouting We offer a range of pointing and grouting materials for jointing your patio slabs, outdoor paving or driveway including flowable slurry grouts such as UltraScape Flowpoint, brush-in grouts like EasyJoint and gun injected mortar for fine pointing. As well as supplying paving primer, sealants and paving and driveway cleaners.Are you looking for a sweep-in jointing compound or patio grout but not sure of the best product for you? In this blog post we look at both EasyJoint and Joint-IT colours. These are two of the highest selling jointing compounds on the market. In this blog we compare both products so you can see which one is the best product for your needs. What are Jointing Compounds? IMPORTANT The project’s ground conditions must be free draining. If the area stays naturally wet and rarely dries out, or if there is a high water table, then EASYJoint should not be used. Every Joint-IT product has been formulated to deliver a professional and quality result. The joint compound has been developed by professional pavers. Joint-IT delivers the exceptional results that customers have come to expect from the Joint-IT range of paving products. It is a water-permeable, cement-free and ready-mixes paving jointing compound. It is made from a mixture of specialist sands and glues that are non-hazardous. Features: Similarly, while EASYJoint remains wet, either via the application process or through rainfall, the curing process will be suspended. Prolonged periods of rain, or several intermittent showers will considerably extend the setting times. Again, this will not affect the final integrity of the product in any way provided water can drain easily away and so allow even curing throughout the joints (as previously explained) Why use EASYJoint?

In dry conditions and warm to moderate temperatures and humidity, EASYJoint should be firm enough to walk on within 24 hours and will cure very hard within a few days. Cold and wet conditions increase the setting time considerably. Freezing weather will cause the process to virtually cease and it can take many days for the joints to set hard. However EASYJoint will eventually set and the weather conditions will not have impaired its integrity in any way.The great thing about Joint-IT products is that they are expert hardscape products. They offer the best possible combination of advanced technological formulations and environmentally friendly raw materials. All while promising a strong and effect solution for your paving needs. EASYJoint is perfect for patios, paving and paths that only have pedestrian foot traffic, however will not withstand the weight of a car or larger van. We do not recommend EASYJoint for use on driveways due to the types of sub-base and bedding mortar needed. Should I seal my paving slabs before using EASYJoint brush-in patio grout? Suitable for Light Vehicular Use On Dense Grade Projects. (For permeable driveway installs Refer to EASYJoint Pro) This is the most popular colour option within the EASYJoint range. It goes well with light and dark paving slabs and is suitable for almost any project Joint-IT Neutral - Alternative:
