Fix Cement Grouting Between Paving Bricks
At last, something that works
Why cement grouting between pavers don’t work
Wondering how to fix cement grouting between paving bricks? Firstly, we need to explore why cement grouting does not work. Flagstones and paving bricks in South Africa are commonly grouted with cement, but the unfortunate truth is that cement grouting simply doesn’t work! This is due to cement grouting expanding and contracting at a different rate to the pavers due to temperature variations. This means that cement grouting will always crack and chucks will dislodge over time. Attempts to patch this with more cement often makes the problem even worse rather than resolving it.

The solution to fixing cement grouting between paving bricks
The most effective solution for repairing existing cement grouting is with a resin-based paving mortar. ROMEX® D1 paving grouting is a two-component resin jointing mortar specifically designed for driveways, parking spaces, and areas enduring vehicular loads of up to 7.5 tons. Its strength and durability are complemented by its crucial flexibility, ensuring it can expand and contract alongside the paving blocks, thus minimizing the risk of cracking and displacement.
