Yes, theoretically EASYJoint can be used below 3 degrees down to freezing conditions, however in these conditions, the use of lots of water becomes more difficult with a greater risk of staining. Where possible avoid using below 3 degrees, use with caution. Does EASYJoint stain paving slabs?

Overview – Before you start

No Waste: Opened tubs of EASYJoint, if not fully used, can be kept for later use providing they are covered by a minimum of 2" (50mm) or more of water. – There is no waste with our jointing compound, EASYJoint is an environmentally friendly product. Due to the structural requirements of a driveway and that generally, the bedding mix is stronger than that of a patio or path, the use of EASY Joint is not recommended. With thin paving it is difficult to achieve 25mm depth. To achieve it, create a channel in the base material by running the tip of a trowel around the exposed edges of each paver to create 25mm depth for EASYJoint to sit in (see illustration above). CHAMFERED PAVING (Paving with ‘V’ Joints)

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

Truly an all weather jointing compound: An all year round hard landscaping product to point your paving that can be used whatever the weather conditions are before, during or after application

Apply a final rinse of water across the surface to wash off any EASY Joint residue and to aid the final compaction process. Zero Waste – Opened tubs of EASYJoint, if not fully used, can be kept for later use providing they are covered by a minimum of 2″ (50mm) or more of water Using small quantities of EASYJoint, simultaneously spread and wash the compound across the surface using a light jet of water and a broom/squeegee, allowing it to fall into the joints Top Up. Use more EASYJoint to top up any low areas, repeating the washing process as described previously.

The result of using EASYJoint, to joint your paving, will be a paving gap that is completely filled that will last for years. A strong joint that will resist the elements and stand the test of time – better than traditional jointing methods 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 EASYJoint can be applied in virtually any weather conditions, however it is best practice to ensure that ground temperatures are greater than 3 degrees during the grout installation. Once installed, freezing conditions will not impair EASYJoint All Weather Jointing Mortar.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. Frequently asked questions before using EASYJoint brush-in patio grout! Does EASYJoint brush-in patio grout need a permeable sub-base?

Watch the video demonstration above to review the comprehensive information provided in the EASYJoint section. Do not use a pressure washer on the paving for at least 4 weeks after EASY Joint’s application. Always use a fan type nozzle at a 45 degree angle and no closer than 15 cms / 6 inches to avoid removing the jointing material from between your slabs. Is EASYJoint suitable for patios and driveways? Freezing conditions are not always problematic for EASYJoint, however the volume of water used during the application process can potentially freeze. In this instance the particles within the grout mix won’t settle into the joints evenly due to the presence of ice and potentially lead to longer term problems. If heavy or prolonged rain is forecast, it is ideal to wait for drier conditions as heavy rain may disturb sand particles in the EASYJoint mix before it cures solid, giving an uneven texture. Prolonged rain will also extend the curing process.

Technically advanced: Years of research and continuous development of our jointing compound makes this a market leader. We sell tens of thousands of EASYJoint tubs every month throughout the UK and in Europe. 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. EASYJoint grout is ideal for all types of paving such as natural stone, granite setts and concrete flags providing there is a gap of at least 3mm wide and 25mm deep. This simple to use, brush in grout provides a strong joint and prevents weed growth! EASYJoint can also be used in all weathers!
