"Grouting" or"sealing" pavoirs

[difflock]

I.e. not so much grouting as treating with whatever product that will mostly prevent moss and grass and weeds growing in the joints.

After re grouting with silica sand.

So what product is best?

the stuff i looked at by everbuild was going to work out over £100 for my 75sqm drive so i left it due to the fact i dont want to be doing that every couple of years. I think its very similar to a PVA glue solution as a cheaper option. May do a small area as a trail. PVA always brings stuff out in a rich colour when coating brick for plastering etc

 

Is there any areas where water stands?

 

I think the only thing which stops growth is a stiff brushing every couple of months. Iv'e laid mine with a good fall so hopefully no problems.

Rock salt mixed with the sand?

Yes an area where water ponds, the area paved being "dead" flat, hence pavers used, and yes a good stiff brushing is the answer, and I was pondering how to rig a hydraulic driven wire bristle rotary brush, the same as road sweepers use.

Probably Kioto  loader mounted, since the wee 50HP Kioti has good oil flow, though not wile handy or manouverable, but still workable with the creeper gearbox.

I sourced one for the Avant , brand name "Slanetrac" I seem to recall, that I bought for the Council, for scouring the brick paver caravan bays at a Council caravan site, bloody brilliant after 20 odd years of doing it by hand.

Jointing wise the gftk range (NCC streetscape I think) of resin and epoxy sands are best. They do different ranges. The geofix, cementone and other dry sweep in mastic sands are crap. Sealant wise resiblock is the sealant to last?

Do you recall the cost of it. Fancy one for my avant!

No idea, but having googled "Slanetrac" is the brand, and various UK based dealers came up for Slanetrac.
