How to Use Pavetuf Jointing Compound

Pavetuf Jointing Compound is a quick and simple way to securely joint your new paved area and can be used with our Vitripiazza(TM), Classicstone(TM) and Premiastone(TM) paving ranges.

Preparation

Pavetuf Jointing Compound is suitable for for use with most paving types, apart from block paving for driveway use. Some paving can be prone to staining, so ensure a small area is tested first to be certain your paving does not discolor.

Step 1

Thoroughly pre-soak the area before application. The more water used, the better result. This also ensures the compound does not start to dry on the paving before you are ready for it to set.

Step 2

Pour Pavetuf Jointing Compound evenly across your newly laid paving. Top Tip: to help stop staining, throughly soak the compound in the tub before applying onto the paving. The wetter, the better!

Step 3

Using a stiff broom, brush the compound into the joints ensuring that they are completely filled.

Step 4

Ensure that the surface of the paving and compound are kept wet during the entire application to ensure it does not set prematurely. Repeat step 3 until all joints have beeen filled.

Step 5

Top up any joints that haven't been filled properly and wash off the excess compound from the surface of the paving using a low pressure hose to avoid forcing the compound from the joints.

Step 6

As the application of Pavetuf Jointing Compound requires water, it is necessary for the outdoor temperature to be 40 degrees F and above.

Step 7

Ensure any excess compound is not allowed to set in drainage ditches, gullies or similar areas where a blockage or impairment to function could occur.

Top Tips

  • The more water added, the easier it is to move the compound and fill th ejoints
  • Why not add water into the tub along with the dry compound before pouring the compound onto the paving
  • If you are using the compound from a tub that has been opened previously and soaked in water to preserve it, when you come to use this with new tubs of jointing compound, you should mix the open tub with the new tub before application to avoid color batching.
  • Important: Please note that staining can occur on the paving, especially near the joints if it is not kept soaking wet throughout the application process and if any surplus jointing compound is not removed from the surface of the paving.
