Product Information

If you are driving on the slabs then any movement will cause them to crack so I would recommend sand and cement. Having a landscaper do my patio in my garden, they are planning to use MOT type 1 as sub base, then put weed membrane on top and then sharp sand on top of the weed membrane. It dries and hardens in around 36 hours, providing conditions are reasonable, which is faster than a lot of similar products on the market. This also depends on the weather conditions, and it shouldn’t be applied if the temperature drops below 5℃.

Mostly because my father who is also a landscape gardener has told me to stay away from these products as they use a resin instead of cement which according to him, isn’t as strong. They are saying with Sika Fast Fix, this will fill the gaps between the slabs, this will stop the slabs from moving. Sika FastFix All Weather is a ready-to-use, self-setting paving jointing compound with Active Resin Technology for advanced durability. Hi i have used the sika fast fix buff on my modak indian sandstone patio and have done exactly what is said to do on the tub two days gone bye and still not set is this the set time weather dependent .This isn’t the case for all products though, so check their description before purchase if you want an all-weather option. Sika FastFix All Weather is perfect for outdoor patios, pavements and paths with joints over 5mm wide and 20mm deep. It’s ready to use with no mixing required, although it starts setting the moment the packet is opened so you’ll need to work fast.

I used Sika Fastfix brush in grouting compound on my newly layed granite paving slabs, i followed the instuctions to the letter, the grout went very hard and has done the trick, but i have been left with heavy staining on my granite slabs, and it looks really bad, i got in touch with Sika Everbuild, to get advice on the staining, they said the staining was the result of the polymers in the resin, and they dont have another product to remove the stains,they said the staining should go away over time, anything from 1 day to 6 months, if i knew this was going to happen, there is no way I would have used this produced, i am very disapointed with Sika fastfix, and would not advise anyone to use it, Sika should high light the staining problem on the product container. Even though more expensive than usual methods but the rapid results and worth every penny in time and effort. kg packet may not cover quite as much area as you might expect – although it can depend on the size of the gaps between your paving. I wouldn’t have thought a hoover would pick the residue up, instead I would recommend jetwashing your new patio with hopes of removing the residue.

Another week later there appears to be a grey film over some parts of the slabs which a hard brushing and even scrubbing with some washing up liquid, fails to remove.

Hi Andrew, I’m glad the Sika fast fix paving compound has worked well for you – Although it’s unfortunate that the grout I more brown than grey – I’ve never had this happen to me before! If you leave it a couple more days and give it another sweep, if there is any residue left on the patio then it will be easy to sweep straight off once dry. Self-setting paving jointing compound that provides the ideal solution to perfect pointing on paving, paths and patios.I used it yesterday and the weather has been dry (wetted the area before hand), went out to check it this morning (almost 24 hours later) and it is still as soft as when I applied it nearly 24 hours earlier! Up until a couple of months ago I have always stayed away from the sweep in pointing products such as the Sika fast fix jointing compound when grouting between paving slabs. Whether you’ve got darker granite tiles or lighter limestone, you should be able to find a pre-mixed grout available in a colour that blends with your existing patio.
