Azpects EASYGrout, Grafito
The Stone Zone are one of the South's largest garden paving suppliers. For this reason, we offer a wide range of paving grout for Sandstone Paving, Porcelain Paving and more!
Azpects are a renowned brand across the UK that produce high quality landscape and building maintenance and installation products for both DIYers and professionals.
If you're looking for a superior strength paving grout, look no further than EASYGrout; this cementitious is unlike traditional floor tiling grouts in the sense that it readily mixes with water, producing a highly flowable, slurry-like joint filling and grouting mortar.
This high quality grout was purposefully created with strength and resilience in mind. Porcelain Paving is a very popular product due to its manufactured strength and durability; Porcelain Paving patios, if laid properly, will last a lifetime, maintaining it's strength and colour. Azpects have created a jointing grout to match this.
EASYGrout is so strong that it can be used for areas of paving that undergo daily traffic, such as driveways, and areas where people continuously walk across it, like public pathways and commercial landscapes.
Available in four popular colours, including light grey, dark grey, beige and white, this is suitable for grouting joints internally and externally around porcelain tiling and paving slabs, filling joints from 5mm up to 25mm wide with a minimum joint depth of 20mm.
EASYGrout Grafito is a dark grey coloured grout that is very smooth looking and perfect for people looking to lay their paving with a monochrome look. Azpects EASYGrout differs to Azpects Select as the particles are much larger and can vary in colour.

How to use Azpects EASYGrout
Like its name, Azpects EASYGrout is pretty easy to use, there are clear instructions outlined on the tub itself, with a full list of equipment you'll need. If you're an experienced DIYer then you should be able to complete this yourself, as opposed to hiring a professional Landscaper. It is sometimes easier when there are two of you though, as it's a very hands-on job.
Step 1
Using an electric paddle to ensure the mixture is well-mixed, add clean, cold water to the first sachet of powder. Mix this together slowly until the mixture becomes very smooth and lump-free. It's important not to over-mix the mortar which can create air bubbles.
Step 2
Soak your porcelain or ceramic tiles until they are wet but not enough so there is standing water. Once you've done this, you can start pouring your mortar over the joints, working in small areas at a time.
Step 3
Start spreading the EASYGrout into the joints using a squeegee. Try and work as fast as you can, and get a friend to help you if possible. Ensure that the joints are all as evenly filled as each, it should reach just below the level of the paving surface. Avoid too much residue where you can.
Step 4
Ensure your paving is as clean as possible by wiping away the residue with a clean, damp sponge. This part is really important so spend as much time as you can on it. We would then recommend going over the tiles with another clean, damp cloth so they are nice and clean.
Step 5
Finally, once the grout had set (it usually takes around 1-2 hours), you can wipe down any further residue with a wet, damp cloth. For any stubborn areas of residue, use Azpects Grout Residue Remover.

PLEASE NOTE
It is not suitable for use on vertical surfaces. It is designed specifically for ceramic and porcelain tiles and is not recommended for use on natural stone. Natural stone and porous materials are particularly at risk from permanent discolouration.
Why Use Azpects Grouting?
EASYJoint paving grout or jointing compound is a very straightforward, effective and visually appealing way to fill joints between paving, whether it is natural stone paving (such as Sandstone or Limestone) or Porcelain Paving. It is appropriate for all types of garden paving slabs provided there is a gap of at least 3mm wide minimum. We would recommend 5mm for the optimal joint, with a depth of 25mm (narrow joint compound).
As stated, the EASYJoint is easy to use – simply soak the garden pavers with water before commencing and then simultaneously sweep the jointing compound into the joints, letting the water take the strain. It can even be done by those who may not have a huge amount of DIY experience.
How to Use EasyJoint (Natural Paving)
As we have mentioned above, it is easy to use EasyJoint to add grouting to your paving. We have created a small and straightforward guide to help you start, especially if this is your first time using this product.
Step 1 – First you need to assess your paved area and measure to ensure that the joints are at least 3mm wide minimum, we recommend 5mm, and 20mm deep.
Step 2 – If your paving is made of natural stone, such as Sandstone and Limestone, then you need to make sure you soak the area before you begin. A hose pipe will do the job, or a watering can.
Step 3 – Once the paving is thoroughly damp, pour out the EasyJoint onto the paving.
Step 4 – Add water to the grout to create a slurry.
Step 5 – As you are watering the compound, start sweeping it into the joints. Be quick when doing this because you don’t want the compound to dry out. We suggest you work with a 2nd person so one person can do the sweeping while the other is on water-pouring duty.
Step 6 – Don’t be shy on the Easy Joint, if you have used up all the product, pour more onto the paving and start all over again and ensure that all gaps are filled. Be diligent if you are doing this project when the weather is warm because that would lead to the compound drying more quickly.
Step 7 – Once all the gaps have been filled. Go over the paving surface with another spray of water to wash away any grout residue, not only will this make the entire area look clean, but it also helps to compress the compound further.
Step 8 – Finally, use a pointing tool to smooth over the jointing and give it a professional look.
EasyJoint Select Application
There are 2 ways in which you can apply EasyJoint Select jointing to your paving.
Method 1: Wet Application Method
Step 1 – Apply the Product
Begin by spreading half the contents of the EASYJoint Select container evenly over the area you wish to joint. Using a soft brush or squeegee, work the compound into the paving joints, making sure each gap is filled completely.
Step 2 – Compact with WaterSet your hose to a spray setting and gently flush water over the surface. This helps the compound settle and compact fully into the joints, ensuring all gaps are filled and no air pockets remain.
Step 3 – Repeat and Rinse
Continue applying and compacting until you’ve covered your entire paving area. Once done, give the surface a final light rinse to remove any excess material. Allow the paving to dry completely.
Optional Finishing Touch
For a more refined look, you can smooth and shape the joints using a jointing iron or trowel while the compound is still damp. This optional step adds a clean, professional finish.
Step 4 – Let It Cure
No further work is needed — simply leave the jointing to cure naturally. You’ll only need to check the area if there’s been extreme weather shortly after application. Otherwise, your joints will set firm and durable on their own.
Method 2: Dry Application Method (For use when applying in temperatures at or below freezing)
Do Not Wet the Surface Before ApplicationIt is essential that the paving surface remains completely dry before applying the jointing compound. Introducing water during freezing conditions can cause it to freeze, preventing the jointing from curing properly.
Seal the Paving First
To prevent staining and ensure long-lasting results, you must seal your paving before application. This not only protects the surface but also strengthens the edges, helping your paving remain durable over time.
Compact the Joints Thoroughly
Unlike the wet application method—where compaction is optional—this step is absolutely critical for the dry method. After sweeping the compound into the joints, use a jointing iron to firmly compact the material, ensuring it’s securely packed and fully settled into place.
Allow to Cure Naturally
Once applied and compacted, simply leave the jointing to cure naturally. The only time you may need to reapply is if heavy rainfall occurs immediately after application.
