UltraScape Jointing

Joint compound or jointing compound is a sand used to seam and smooth joints in paving installations. Acting as a permeable grout, joint compound can be applied to tiles, slabs and paving stones in a number of applications. Joint compound is brushed in-between laid paving slabs and left to ‘cure,’ forming strong bonds between paving slabs that are exposed to the elements, and keeping your paving looking smart and uniform.

Step 1 – Pour water over your entire patio, using a brush to evenly spread the moisture. Step 2 – Once wet, pour your jointing compound over your patio, using a broom to spread the compound into your patio joints. Step 3 – Use a thin metal tool to press your joint compound firmly into the joints, filling all spaces for an even finish. Step 4 – Sweep up the remaining compound on the service. Step 5 – Allow time to cure. UltraScape premjoint can be walked on within 24-48 hours.

The cost of joint compound, or jointing compound, depends on the specific dimensions of your installation. For example, the width and length of each slab will dictate how much joint compound is required for a sound installation. The preferred depth and width of each joint will also have an effect on the cost of your joint compound. One tub of UltraScape premjoint is sufficient for a paving installation of approximately 1sqm based on a 450mm x 450mm slab with 25mm depth and 8mm joint width.
