Flowpoint rapid-set paving grout
Flowpoint is a rapid-setting, cement-based flowable grout for jointing paving. Applied as a wet slurry and worked into the joints with a rubber squeegee, it points a patio, path or hard standing far faster than traditional mortar pointing, and it meets the requirements of the paving British Standard BS 7533 for long-term durability.
It suits natural stone, porcelain, concrete flags, clay pavers and granite setts, and once set it locks out weeds and stands up to years of weather and traffic.

Where Flowpoint is used
Flowpoint is used across domestic and commercial paving, from patios, terraces and driveways to town centres, public realm and transport hubs. It works with sandstone, Indian stone, slate, limestone, porcelain, concrete slabs, clay paviours and granite setts. Grades are available for standard joints, narrow joints and lower-carbon specifications.
How to apply Flowpoint
Pre-wet the paving and joints and keep the whole area damp throughout. Mix the powder with the specified water to a smooth slurry, then work it into the joints with a rubber squeegee, topping up any that sink. Once the joint is firm, wash the slab surfaces clean with plenty of water so no residue is left to stain. Avoid darker limestones such as black limestone, which can be prone to marking, and follow the data sheet for colour and grade guidance.
