The vast majority of EASYJoint applications use water and lots of it to aid the installation however in sub zero temperatures we would recommend the dry method of application.
Prior to using the dry method you must seal the paving with an appropriate sealer to avoid staining.
As a final check before proceeding with the EASYJoint dry application method, make sure daytime and overnight temperatures will not drop below 3 degrees Celsius.
Please note that cold and wet conditions will increase the setting times considerably -
Freezing weather will cause the process to virtually cease and it can take many days for the joints to set hard.
However, it will eventually set and the weather will not have impaired it's qualities in any way.
As water can turn to ice in freezing conditions, we strongly recommend you avoid the wet application process. If ice has formed in the joint prior to installation avoid using EASYJoint until the ice has melted.
Did you know?
EASYJoint can take up to 4 weeks to achieve it’s maximum hardness and strength. We recommend avoiding the use of a pressure washer for at least a month following EASYJoint installation. The paving can be pressure washed using a fan type spray head. This needs to be held at an angle of 45 - 60 degrees with the head no closer than 6 inches (150mm) from the paving surface
