Azpects Easyseal Deck Protect
Many of us have been in the annoying situation of having a beautiful decking installed just outside the back of your house, but being to worried to step outside the door at all, due to a recent spout of rain that has made it slippery. Or maybe you've not used your decking at all over Winter, so algae has formed over your deck, causing a very dangerous surface for anyone to be walking on.
Well, Azpects have a solution! Formerly known as EasySeal Deck Magic, this EASYSeal Deck Protect uses the latest advances in Chemical technology to provide a solution to slippery, timber decking. It is classed as a high performance, water-based, penetrating sealer. As well as leaving a clear coating, it also has the added bonus of improving foot traction to provide a safer grip on wet decking.
Using EASYSeal Deck Protect means there no need to use grid or other unsightly coatings and there are no textural or colour changes when dry. It will also assist in preserving the life of timber decking.

How Azpects EASYSeal Deck Protect Works
With years of scientific development behind the product, this sealer has improved many times down the years, and is one we're proud to promote for all timber decking owners.
Easy to use and completely free of solvents and abrasives, this formula is water-based so is nice and easy to work with, whether you're a Landscaping professional or an everyday DIYer.
This liquid comes out as completely clear and quite 'thin,' only a thin layer is needed to ensure your decking is protected. Using a spray or a paint brush roller, apply the Deck Protect to your decking in dry weather and let it completely dry for best results.
As well as protecting you from slipping over in wet weather, it also protects your garden decking from staining and growing algae or fungi, so is an all-round decking staple.
What You Can Use Deck Protect on
The main use of Deck Protect is of course, to apply on either freshly-laid timber decking, or existing timber decking (which is uncoated). This will increase the longevity of your decking, preventing it from discolouration caused by algae and fungi, as well as coating it with a slip resistant layer to prevent slipping throughout the changing seasons.
Deck Protect can also be used on your untreated timber fencing and gate. There's nothing worse than when your golden brown coloured fencing starts to turn a green colour after the Winter has been and gone. With Azpects Deck Protect, it will seal the wood and create a barrier to protect the wood from growing anything like this.
As you may have guessed, this also means you can use Deck Protect on your garden shed. The same applies as the above; as long as it is non-coated already, you can paint on your Deck Protect to seal in the colours and prevent them from changing.
Lastly, if you are installing a pergola with untreated timber wood, Azpects Deck Protect would be a great product to seal the wood with.
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.
