Paving repointing is often required for all types of paved urban areas, from roadways and pavements to market squares, and all because the existing cement pointing has deteriorated and failed. The failure may already be complete, or it is cracking and starting to break-up, and increasingly being washed and eroded out of the joints.
Frequently, the root cause will be that the original pointing, or previous re-pointing, was carried out with perfectly good jointing products, especially with well proven cement-based products, which were not suitable for application in the conditions at the time e.g. application in cold and wet conditions, and with residual water in the joints, and/or inadequate initial protection and curing. No such problems with the unique GftK Paving Joint Mortars!
GftK vdw 850plus is probably the ‘Gold Standard’ of paving jointing, as it can be applied in cold and wet conditions, even in the rain and it self-compacts into the joints and hardens quickly. In these pictures you can see the application in Hitchin Market Square back in 2009, and the same area still looking good in 2024.
