About this deal

Using a hose we soaked the area that we would be applying the product and started to pour the bag of Sika joint compound. Unsure on how strong the compound is we decided to use our fingers (wearing gloves of course) to really push the product into the gaps before finishing it off with a pointing trowel for a good finish. Of course, we didn’t have to use our fingers, but it gave us more peace of mind knowing that it was well compacted and still saved us a huge amount of time compared to using sand and cement. Thoroughly wet the entire area where Sika FastFix® All Weather is to be applied with water. This includes not only the joints, but also the entire slabs. Allow any standing water to drain before Sika FastFix® All Weather is applied.

I’m not one to argue with the customer, as if I had used my own way of jointing then he may have me redo the work if they aren’t happy.

Me and my business partner actually had a long conversatoin about he product once used as we wanted to continue using it on future patio projects as it does come with its benefits. The biggest one being that it saves us a huge amount of time jobs when pointing. Customers don’t realize how long it takes to point newly laid patios. Highly water permeable – no pooling on the patio Weed control – provides a natural barrier for weed growth Overall it is a good product that does exactly as it says and the finish it gives it just as good as the good old fashioned sand and cement. For us, it saves us a huge amount of time and allows our apprentices to point patios whilst we get on with other things. If you are a company looking to start using this project, or a DIY person looking to do the work yourself then I would certainly recommend this product.

As well as this, it is extremely easy to use. So easy that anyone could do it. If you have a patio yourself that needs re-pointing then there would be no need to hire a professional as you could do it yourself. There is no worries when it comes to staining your paving slabs either. The downside to using the Sika joint compound Perfect Pointing jointing compound for Paving, Paths and Patios a self-setting jointing pointing compound that can be applied in the wet or dry.Suitable for use on all joints from just 20mm deep, Sika FastFix can be used for a range of applications including footpaths, stone setts, cobbles and Indian sandstone paving slabs and once opened can be stored in water and reused to reduce waste. Using a soft broom, or hand brush for smaller areas, work Sika FastFix® All Weather into the joints. Make sure each joint is completely filled. If the freshly laid product is flooded, for instance due to rain, the setting period might be extended. Sika FastFix All Weather is a self-setting paving jointing compound providing the ideal solution to perfect pointing on paving, paths and patios.

Another downside is that the residue left over is hard to sweep off the paving slabs even with the stiffest of brushes. The next day you will see the product lightly covering areas of the patio. We have found that this is easier to brush off after a couple of days. My thoughts on the Sika all weather jointing compound

How ever, don’t just sweep it in between the gaps. At the very least use a pointing trowel to make sure that it is well compacted. It is also worth noting that all of the pictures in this post are patios that we have installed using this product! Where to get your Sika Fast Fix All Weather paving jointing compound Prior to using Sika we had a traditional sand cement joint which never fully set and allowed weeds to grow between the joints. Since the jointing compound has no risk of staining the area, there would be no need to be careful which is where most of the time goes. We could spend a hole day pointing and even more on larger paving projects. So away we went applying the jointing compound… 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? 🙂 Straight away this came across very easy compared to using sand and cement and would save a huge amount of time. When using sand and cement to point between the paving slabs we have to be careful with how wet the mix is as to not stain the slabs, which also means dabbing the area with a damp sponge as you go along.
