Azpects guide to patio and paving repairs

For simple, durable and reliable patio and paving repairs choose EASY Patio Joint Repair from Azpects

For the homeowner, almost as much pride is now taken in the outdoor space as the interior. If your client has spent a fortune bringing the outside in with bi fold doors and a porcelain patio then failed mortar joints are going to be an unsightly and unwelcome intrusion to that garden paradise.

It is here that EASY Patio Joint Repair works its magic by restoring joints in patios and paths to their former glory. As a replacement to traditional sand and cement, it’s simply a matter of clearing out any loose material and sweeping in the product. The clever part is what happens when you wet the area. This Azpects solution is an encapsulated sand with polymers that will expand slightly when exposed to water. It will then stick to the side of the paving providing a flexible, strong and long-lasting joint that equally deters weed growth and crawling insects. It’s ready to use straight from the tub with no mixing, is suitable for all paving types, and is resistant to erosion caused by water, frost, wind, or cleaning.

The beauty of this approach is that it’s possible to repair small areas whilst carrying out regular maintenance. If you’re pressure washing and some of the joint is dislodged, for instance, it’s easy to repair it there and then. For a tradesperson it can represent a good upsell when already undertaking a landscaping or home improvement project. With an almost unlimited shelf life, provided it’s kept dry, it would be good to have the 5kg tub of EASY Patio Joint Repair on the van ready to be called into action when required.

The product is supplied in a sand and cement coloured grey/beige which should match the existing weathered mortar. In terms of conditions for application because it’s activated by water – it can’t be raining and should not be used below 10°C. Depending on climatic condition it can set in as little as 24 hours. As with all of Azpects products the usual PPE precautions should be heeded, including gloves and goggles.

You path to renewed paving and patios in simple steps: 

STEP 1: Open the tub and tip out enough material to fill the joint areas being repaired. Sweep the product into the joints until full. Gently firm the surface with a suitable tool and apply more product as required until the level of the joint is just below the surface of the paver.

STEP 2: Use a fine spray to wet the joints until no more water is absorbed.

 

CAUTION! DO NOT OVER-WATER.
