What is Flowpoint Paving Grout?
Flowpoint is a flowable, fast set, external paving grout which is ideal for filling the joints in patio flags, paving slabs, terraces and pavements. Once cured it prevents weeds from growing between slabs.
How do I use Flowpoint?
This handy reel, from one of our friends and customers David, at Urban Canopy of Derbyshire; on Facebook will show you how to lay Flowpoint, and give you some handy hints and tips. Click here for a video on how to lay Flowpoint Paving Grout.
How long does Flowpoint last?
When applied correctly, Flowpoint slurry paving grout can last beyond 20 years without the need to grout the paving again.
How long does Flowpoint take to set?
After mixing, Flowpoint external paving grout can take as little as 15 minutes to set (temperature is 20oC). However, as a rule of thumb – the hotter the temperature, the faster Flowpoint will set, in colder temperatures it’ll take a little longer for Flowpoint to set.
Is Flowpoint grout permeable?
No, Flowpoint is non-permeable, cementitious-based grout – meaning it doesn’t allow water to pass through it once set.
Can You Use Flowpoint on Concrete Slabs?
Yes — Flowpoint rapid-setting flowable grout is ideal for concrete slabs and a wide range of paving projects. Trusted by professionals for both domestic and commercial paving, Flowpoint delivers a durable, fast-setting jointing solution. It is compatible with all popular paving materials, including concrete paving slabs, Indian sandstone, external porcelain tiles, limestone, slate, natural sandstone cobbles, and granite setts.
Whether you’re looking for a reliable paving grout for a patio, driveway, or large commercial installation, Flowpoint ensures strong joints, long-lasting performance, and a professional finish.
Can you use Flowpoint in the rain?
Yes, you can use Flowpoint in light rain but ensure the paving joints don’t fill up with rainwater. Applying Flowpoint on a damp day can actually be beneficial, because it can stop the wet slurry from setting too quickly. Use a leaf blower to blow any excess water from the joints.
How Good is Flowpoint Grout?
Flowpoint grout is one of the most reliable and high-performance paving grouts available. Known for its durability and rapid-setting properties, this highly fluid grout achieves an impressive final compressive strength of 49.6N/mm² (using 4.25 litres of water per 25kg bag).
Designed for efficiency on any paving project, Flowpoint sets super quickly — with an initial set in just 15-30 minutes, ready to take light foot traffic after 1 hour, and even suitable for vehicular traffic within 4 hours (temperature dependent).
If you need a fast, strong, durable (up to 40 years) and professional jointing solution for patios, driveways, or commercial paving projects, Flowpoint grout delivers outstanding results every time.
What is the Shelf Life for Flowpoint?
Shelf life from date of manufacture printed on the bag, unopened in the above conditions, for sealed bags is 8 months. Please note: the use of this product after the end of the declared storage period may increase the risk of an allergic reaction.
How many bags of Flowpoint Paving Grout will I need for my patio?
There isn’t an exact number of Flowpoint bags needed per square metre, it depends on the size of your slabs, the width & depth of the joints, and the total square meters of your patio.
As a general rule, for larger format paving slabs 600mm x 900mm; with joints 5mm x 20mm you’ll use one bag of Flowpoint per 30m2. For a mixed project pack of sandstone slabs you’ll need approximately one bag per 10-15m2, granite setts & irregular cobbles use more Flowpoint due to their size and depth – you’ll typically need one bag per 1.5-2m2.
To more accurately determine how many bags of Flowpoint you’ll need, a few details are needed –
- Joint width (mm): The space between the paving slabs or stones.
- Joint depth (mm): How deep the joints are.
- Paving area (m²): The total area to be grouted.
Once these details are known, we can calculate the approximate number of 25KG bags required. Let us know, and we’ll work it out for you! 😊 Alternatively, you’ll find a handy calculator on every Flowpoint page on The Paving Experts website.

Can’t recommend this company enough, customer service was truly excellent which is extremely rare in these online days. Couldn’t do enough to help and felt very personal. A virtual version of walking into a local hardware store in the “good old days” and of course they are “Open all hours” 😀

I’ve recently purchased 28 bags of Flowpoint from The Paving Experts and both the product and customer service were fantastic. Flowpoint is so quick and easy to use and gives a fantastic finish. Far better than a sand and cement mortar. The time and labour saving easily covers the cost of the product. Poppy was incredibly helpful on the phone and Cleo was fantastic at the warehouse upon collection. I can’t recommend these guys enough.

For anyone unsure of whether to try Flowpoint!
For anyone unsure whether to try Flowpoint Paving Grout or not. I tried it for the 1st time today after hearing so many horror stories and can honestly say I won’t ever use anything else again! If you stay on top of it, understand the weather conditions and how quickly or slowly it’ll take to go off, whilst keeping the surface moving – then it’s great.
Lovely Product!!
