Azpects offers various jointing compounds, cleaners, and sealers suitable for different types of paving, including natural stone, porcelain paving, and concrete paving. Let’s delve into why you should consider Azpects jointing compounds for your upcoming projects:
EASYJoint: Rain or Shine
EASYJoint is a versatile and user-friendly jointing compound that can be applied in both wet and dry conditions, making it convenient for various weather scenarios during landscaping projects. The compound is ready-mixed, eliminating the need for mixing on-site. This saves time and ensures consistency in application.
EASYJoint is suitable for a wide range of paving materials, including natural stone, porcelain, and concrete paving. This versatility makes it a go-to choice for landscapers working on diverse projects. It accommodates joint widths from 3mm wide to 50mm deep, providing flexibility for various design preferences and paving styles and is a sweep in compound meaning that you only have to mix and sweep into the joints for a perfect finish! What’s more, any unused product can be used in future.
EASYJointSelect is easier to use and faster than traditional methods, with no mixing required. Just like EASYJoint, wet the paving, brush in the compound, and strike the joints for a smooth finish. It’s an all-year-round jointing compound developed especially for ceramic and porcelain paving with a range of colours to choose from such as Carbon, Platinum, Tungsten, Jet Black and Bronze. Joints must be 3mm wide and 20mm deep.
EASYJointPro is a tough Jointing compound for patios, paths and driveways, specifically areas where water tolerance is required. This compound brings extra strength and durability with a smoother finish as it is a tough two-part epoxy compound formula with frost and ice resistance. EASYJointPro is available in Mushroom, Stone Grey and Basalt.
EASYGrout is designed specifically for ceramic and porcelain tiles for a fine textured finish, this grout is applied as a slurry, unlike traditional floor tile grouts. It’s really easy to use though, simply mix, pour, sweep and rinse. Like the other products from the range, it is available in a range of colours and is suitable for joints from 5mm to 25mm wide, getting 20m2 of coverage per tub!
Don’t forget about EASYTileAlign!
EASYTileAlign, also known as levelling systems or tile spacers, are tools designed to assist in achieving a flat and even surface when installing tiles or pavers. They are particularly useful for large-format pavers, ensuring that the pavers are aligned and levelled during the installation process.
Tile aligners are placed between tiles to maintain consistent spacing. This is crucial for achieving a professional and uniform appearance in the final installation. Lippage refers to the unevenness between adjacent tiles, tile aligners help to prevent lippage by ensuring that the tiles are levelled with each other.
EASYTileAlign from Azpects in specific, ensures that a smooth, even surface is achieved on calibrated, ceramic, or porcelain tiles. EASYTileAlign is an easy-to-use levelling system that incorporates a tile spacer and levelling cap, plus optional protective shields. After use, the screw caps and shields can be reused from job to job!
Clean and Seal once the job is done!
Azpects cleaners serve as crucial preparatory steps before applying sealers, paving enhancers, or other treatments. Clean surfaces ensure better adherence and effectiveness of applications. Regular cleaning with Azpects cleaners helps maintain the final look of paving surfaces. Stains, algae, and moss can take away from the visual appeal of outdoor spaces, and effective cleaning restores the surfaces to their original beauty. Easily remove grout residue with Azpects Grout Residue Remover.
Ensure that the chosen sealer is compatible with the specific type of paving material. Different sealers may be formulated for different surface characteristics such as natural stone and porcelain paving.
Use a sealer to coat and protect patios, and paths from the effects of water, oil, and organic growth. Depending on the type of paving laid, perhaps suggest your customer visits MKM to pick up extra sealer & cleaner to ensure that the paving resists any unwanted growth or staining. Porcelain Cleaner and Sanitiser, for example, is perfect for those customers who want to keep their new porcelain patio looking fresh and clean all year round.
While sealers provide protection and cleaners easily take away any stains or dirt, regular maintenance is still important.
