DIY Product Guide

A well-installed patio or paved path can completely transform the appearance and usability of a garden. To help maintain the appearance and stability of paving, it is important that the joints between the blocks are properly filled. A paving jointing compound is a type of patio grout that is brushed into the gaps between paving slabs, blocks or stones to lock them firmly in place and reduce the likelihood of weeds growing through the joints. Paving jointing compounds, like Sika FastFix® All Weather, are ready-to-use in outdoor paving applications. It is suitable for DIY users and can be applied to patios, paths and other paving areas to support a neat, finished appearance.

SikaCeram® FlowFix Bonding Primer together with SikaCeram® FlowFix Jointing Compound forms a complete system for installing porcelain paving, supporting adhesion beneath the tiles and joint stability once installed.

Selecting the correct products for tiling installation is essential, but to achieve long-lasting performance the next critical step is proper application. Each stage of the process from surface preparation to waterproofing and tile fixing must be carried out correctly to ensure a durable, reliable finish in demanding bathroom, shower and wet room environments.

As the days get longer and temperatures rise, now is the perfect time to prepare your patio for summer. Whether you're planning BBQs, garden parties or relaxing evenings outdoors, a clean and protected patio creates the ideal setting. The key to getting a summer ready patio is simple: clean it thoroughly and seal it properly. With the right approach, you can transform tired, weathered paving into a fresh, low maintenance outdoor space that lasts all summer long.

Block paving is commonly used for driveways, paths and patios thanks to its durability, versatility and clean appearance. However, the long-term performance of block paving depends on how effectively the joints between each block are filled. Without a proper jointing material, blocks can shift over time, and gaps can quickly become a breeding ground for weeds and insects. Sika® Setting Sand is designed for use in narrow joints between block paving. The product is brushed into the joints and then activated with water, where it hardens to help stabilise the blocks and support a neat, finished appearance.
