Block Paving Fix, a ready-to-use grout that is claimed to provide an even quicker professional finish for all types of block paving, is the latest addition to Sika's product range. Said to be easy to apply the grout is simply sweeped into the joint and sealed by soaking with water. The mix dries to a hard cured, durable finish that resists weed growth and protects the surface from moisture. Packaged in 15kg bucket, each container provides coverage for around 35m² of paving. Unlike cement the product also enables block paving to be re-used if required. The recently launched product sits alongside the company's already successful Pave Fix, a ready-to-use, self setting jointing compound aimed specifically at paving and blocks with joints from 5mm width upwards.
