Product Information

Full details

This Geo-Fix All Weather Patio Paving Compound is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a quick and permanent solution to joint filling for paved areas. Its key benefit is the ready-to-use, self-setting formula that eliminates the need for traditional sand and cement pointing, offering a weatherproof and permeable finish. A caveat to consider is that it is not suitable for 'V' shaped joints.

FAQs

How long does Geo-Fix All Weather take to cure?

Geo-Fix All Weather typically cures between 4 and 6 hours, becoming unaffected by the weather. However, full hardness may take up to 24 hours depending on ambient temperature and humidity.

Can I use Geo-Fix on very narrow joints?

No, Geo-Fix All Weather is designed for joints that are 5mm wide or larger. It is not suitable for very fine or 'V' shaped joints.

Is it suitable for driveways with vehicle traffic?

While suitable for domestic paving and pathways, for driveways subjected to regular vehicle traffic, it's recommended to ensure the paving and sub-base are robust and that the joints are filled to their full depth. It is generally considered suitable for light domestic vehicle use once fully cured.

What is the difference between this and traditional mortar?

Geo-Fix is a single-component, ready-mixed compound that is brushed in and self-sets, offering weather resistance and permeability. Traditional mortar requires mixing, is less permeable, and can be prone to cracking and weathering if not applied correctly.

Can I use this product in freezing temperatures?

While it can be used in wet conditions, extreme cold or frost during the application and curing period is not recommended as it can significantly affect the setting and performance of the compound.

How much area does a 14kg tub cover?

Coverage varies depending on the width and depth of the joints. A general guideline is that a 14kg tub can cover approximately 10-15 linear meters of a 5mm wide by 50mm deep joint, but this is an estimate and actual coverage may differ.

Is the brown colour consistent across batches?

The product is formulated to provide a consistent brown colour. However, as with many construction materials, slight batch variations can occur, though they are usually minimal and not noticeable once applied.

Troubleshooting

Compound not setting or remaining soft

Ensure joints were clean and dry enough prior to application (though it can be used in damp conditions, saturation can slow curing). Verify that the product has been exposed to the atmosphere, as curing is triggered by air exposure. Check if the product is past its shelf life.

Compound crumbling or breaking away

This can happen if the product was not applied to sufficient depth, or if the paving was subjected to heavy loads before full cure. Ensure joints are at least 20mm deep and allow adequate curing time (up to 24 hours for full hardness).

Excess compound left on paving surface after sweeping

Sweep away excess compound immediately after brushing it into the joints, before it begins to set. If some residue remains, a stiff brush or gentle scraping may remove it once cured, but care should be taken not to damage the joint.

Puddling still occurs after use

While the product is permeable, the paving substrate itself might be preventing drainage. Ensure the base layers beneath the paving are adequately prepared for drainage. The permeability of Geo-Fix refers to water passing *through* the joint compound itself.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy and fast to apply, requires no mixing.
  • Provides a durable, long-lasting, and weatherproof finish.
  • Permeable surface helps manage rainwater and reduces standing water.
  • Eliminates the mess and labor of traditional mortar pointing.
  • Cost-effective compared to other jointing methods.

Cons

  • Not suitable for 'V' shaped joints.
  • Requires joints to be a minimum of 5mm wide.
  • Curing time can be variable depending on conditions.
  • Large 14kg tub may be cumbersome for small projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure paving joints are clean, free from debris, and have a minimum width of 5mm. For best results, joints should be at least 20mm deep.
  2. Open the tub and simply brush the ready-mixed compound directly into the clean joints using a stiff brush.
  3. Overfill the joints slightly, then use the brush to ensure the compound is compacted and fills the joint completely.
  4. Sweep away any excess compound from the paving surface immediately with a soft brush or broom.

Compatibility:

Geo-Fix All Weather is compatible with most paving types including:

  • Natural Stone
  • Porcelain
  • Terracotta
  • Clay Pavers
  • Concrete Pavers
  • Cobble Stones

Care:

Once cured, the jointing requires minimal maintenance. Regular sweeping of the paved area will keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners directly on the joints as this may affect the compound's integrity over time. If deep cleaning of the entire patio is required, use a gentle cleaner and rinse thoroughly, ensuring not to blast the joints with high-pressure water jets which could dislodge the compound.

Note: This product is not suitable for 'V' shaped joints.
