Different Types of Patio Grout Additionally, this grout must only be applied in dry conditions. It shouldn’t be used if rain is expected within 24 hours.There are a few different types of patio grout, each with their own pros and cons. The most important thing is that the instructions are followed correctly to prevent residue and staining. Pre-Mixed Patio Grout Use either a brush or a squeegee to brush the grout into the gaps between the paving slabs. If the instructions indicate that the paving slabs need to be continuously wetted, you may need an extra pair of hands. There’s no need to go any further. This is a self setting patio grout so the job is now done. The Sika takes about an hour and a half to start to set on the surface and you really need to leave it a whole day before it’s fully hardened, in my experience using this product. This was a warm sunny day so it would probably take considerably longer if it’s cold. Clean and seal your patio after It takes between 6 and 36 hours for the grout to ‘surface set’ and can take up anywhere from 10 – 48 hours to fully cure. This also depends on the weather conditions, and it shouldn’t be applied if the temperature drops below 5℃. The dry time is important as this indicates how long you’ll need to keep off your patio for. Some are specifically designed for speedy drying, such as the Geo-Fix All Weather Paving Joint Compound which can ‘surface set’ in as little as 6 hours.

In terms of install – as the video neatly breaks down for you (I’ve started the video at the right place to save you time), you really want to wet those stones and saturate them. From there it’s pretty much follow my guide – they recommend a stiff broom to move the sand about – this is pretty obvious given wet sand won’t budge with a soft one. The figures given below are approximate quantities required at 25mm depth per 20kg of Geofix) Joint width All the patio grouts I’ve recommended are specifically made for ease of use. I’ve only selected premixed grouts, and most can be applied single handedly with just a brush. Some products, like the EASYJoint Paving Grout require the paving to be kept wet during application. Use Geo-FixÒ All Weather Jointing Compound within 45 minutes of opening. In temperatures exceeding 25oC, the material must be used within 30 minutes of opening the bag. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. In areas subject to vehicular traffic it is essential that the paving elements are bedded on a class 1 mortar and a high percentage of the mortar is squeezed up the joint, thereby providing support for the paving elements.

Whether you’re laying a new patio or tidying up an existing one, choosing the right patio grout is important. In the past, grouting a patio was best left to professionals, but now, thanks to the creation of pre-mixed patio grouts, it’s easier than ever to skip the middleman and do it yourself. The speed of setting can vary quite dramatically. On a dry day with temperatures of 15°C or above, it should set within 12 hours. On colder days, you should allow up to 5 days for the product to set. It’s also important to note that this paving grout is designed for joints over 5 mm wide and 20 mm deep, so it shouldn’t be used if you have very narrow spaces between your slabs.
