1. What is Pave Loc grouting? Pave Loc grouting is a specially formulated polymer-based grout designed for outdoor paving, such as patios, driveways, and walkways. It provides a strong, flexible joint fill that locks pavers in place while allowing for slight movement and drainage. 2. Why use Pave Loc instead of regular grout or sand? Resists erosion from rain and weather Prevents weed growth between joints Flexible to accommodate paver movement and temperature changes Reduces water penetration beneath the pavers Durable and low-maintenance 3. Where can Pave Loc grouting be used? Outdoor paving (patios, paths, driveways) Interlocking pavers, natural stone, and concrete slabs Areas exposed to foot traffic and light vehicle traffic 4. What is involved in applying Pave Loc grouting? Preparation: Clean the joints and remove debris or loose sand. Mixing: Combine the Pave Loc powder with water as per manufacturer instructions. Application: Spread the grout evenly across the joints using a squeegee or trowel. Finishing: Remove excess grout and lightly spray or cure as required. Curing: Allow the grout to harden for the recommended time before traffic. 5. How long does Pave Loc grouting take to cure? Curing typically takes 24–48 hours, depending on temperature, humidity, and joint depth. Full strength is usually achieved within a few days. 6. How long does Pave Loc grouting last? With proper installation and care, Pave Loc grout can last many years, resisting cracking, erosion, and weed growth. 7. Can Pave Loc grout be used in wet areas? Pave Loc is primarily designed for outdoor paving. While it is water-resistant, it is not intended for submerged areas like pools or constantly wet surfaces. 8. Can it prevent weed growth and ants? Yes. When properly installed, Pave Loc forms a solid joint that discourages weed growth and deters ants or other insects from tunnelling between the pavers. 9. Can I install Pave Loc myself? DIY installation is possible, but professional installation ensures: Correct joint preparation Proper mixing and application Even coverage and minimal waste Long-lasting, durable results 10. How do I maintain Pave Loc grout? Sweep or hose regularly to remove debris Avoid harsh chemicals or pressure washing at high intensity Reapply grout to joints if erosion or wear occurs over time
