Selecting the Paving Jointing for your project
The most important decisions for successful domestic, commercial and public paving works, is selection of the right paving jointing technology and selection of the right specific jointing product. Unfortunately, as outlined in more detail in the pages of this website, there is no ‘Universal’ paving joint material technology, and with in each of the available technologies, there are big variations in different product applications, performance and durability.
The first step to select the most appropriate paving jointing technology and then the best specific jointing products, is to define the key criteria for the specific project paving jointing (jointing/grouting / pointing - as you prefer). This is always important to avoid unnecessary difficulties and problems, which could be in application, (e.g. delays due to wet weather, staining, excessive cleaning etc.), or problems in service that will follow, due to inadequate performance in the service exposure, leading to damage and premature failure.
The Key Criteria to review and decide the most important requirements for the jointing material on each project need to include the type and size of the paving elements, the substructure build-up and the proposed joint dimensions, followed by the type of paved area and the anticipated traffic and exposure, the site conditions, weather and environment, the method of application and permitted downtime, plus the length of service and durability required.
Therefore, there is a lot to consider when deciding on the most appropriate materials technology and the best paving jointing product for your projects. For this reason we have prepared a detailed summary of all these different criteria and also prepared a ‘Project Checklist’ that can be downloaded and completed for your project and help ensure you can make the right decision, it may take a little more time in planning, and some products will definitely not be the cheapest per tub or bag, but with paving jointing it is always much cheaper to do this right first time, or to repoint with the right material, to avoid costly repeated repointing operations, as can often be seen in public areas due to breakdown of the paving jointing.
