GftK vdw 815+ Paving Joint Mortar

SKU: 1010

GftK vdw 815+ is a 2-part, epoxy resin based paving joint mortar for narrow joints (>3mm) in natural stone and external porcelain paving. It is mixed and wet slurry applied with lots of additional water, enabling high flow characteristics and to be virtually self-compacting into the joints, then hardening and curing quickly to provide high performance and extremely durable paving pointing / grouting. GftK vdw 815+  is most widely used for larger format paving, which generally means flags and slabs more than 400mm x 400mm, and with relatively narrow joints from > 3mm wide, such as with fine natural stone and external porcelain tile paving, on both domestic and commercial patios and terraces, as well as exposed swimming pool surrounds, and/or retail shopping and other commercial areas. GftK vdw 815+ is suitable for light to medium traffic loads, such as on domestic and commercial patios, terraces, pathways, and domestic driveways etc. This advanced paving joint technology is fast and extremely easy to apply as a wet slurry that is self-compacting into the joints, and as vdw 815 is applied on to pre-wetted paving surfaces, there is also no waiting after cleaning or inclement weather, e.g. no waiting for paved surfaces or joints to dry  (for larger joints from >5mm width use GftK vdw 850+).

Blackspot and Green Growths Remover

In stock

£55.69

Blackspot and Green Growths Remover is a unique and very highly effective solution, which is designed to help easily clean paved surfaces and remove unsightly ‘green growths’ of algae, moss and other lower plant life such as lichens, which leave ugly ‘blackspots’ in the paving surfaces after cleaning with inferior products, or simply jet washing. It is effective on all types of permeable external natural stone, reconstituted stone and concrete paved surfaces. The viscous formula of NCC’s Blackspot and Green Growth Remover clings to the hard mineral surfaces without attacking the substrate, where it strongly facilitates cleaning and removing dirt and grime as well as the often stubborn green and dark staining deposits from other plants and their leaves. This strong surface cleansing action also helps to visually improve and restore the natural stone and other hard landscaping surfaces.
Consider Protective Surface Treatment: The newly cleaned paving surfaces represent an opportunity to protect these against future growth and dirt pick-up, by sealing the surfaces e.g. with Natural Stone Sealer or  Stone Sealer & Enhancer , as these will prevent water and water carried dirt and plant material into the surfaces in future, thereby significantly reducing dirt and any future growths, plus any future dirt or growths that does eventually settle on the surfaces, will be much easier to wash-off and remove.

Porcelain Tile Protector

In stock

£72.76
NCC Porcelain Protector is required because, whilst exterior porcelain tiles have a very hard and dense surface that is denser and easier to clean than normal stone and ceramic surfaces, the surface of porcelain tiles can and will still discolour and stain, dirt and grime will build-up and this can be difficult to remove! It is not rocket science but a question of the degree of being ‘easier to clean. plus external porcelain is usually sold as having some degree of slip resistance, well guess what, this is achieved by making the surfaces micro-profiled and textured. This texture increases the dry slip resistance (not wet note!) to meet the standards referenced, BUT will also increase the dirt-pick-up of the surface, as well as making it somewhat harder to clean. It should not really be a surprise, though it often is, as people have read the marketing brochures for porcelain that only focus on the positives!
However there is now a good solution, by using NCC Porcelain Protector to enhance the surface of your paving. The innovative NCC Porcelain Protector is a water dispersed, protective surface treatment for interior and exterior applications on all types of porcelain tile surfaces.
