The new paving unit is pushed tight against the GapFast Spacer and an accurate, consistent joint width is instantly created. No need to check with a tape measure; no need to have dangerous bits of plywood sticking up from the surface; no risk of compromising joint integrity. One of the regular problems faced by contractors and DIYers alike is maintaining a regular joint width .The innovative system uses a unique screw down cap system that helps to speeds up installation, avoid lippage and ensures a quality, consistent finish for your porcelain. Some types of paving can be laid with no gap at all for a formal appearance, so it is worth asking when you purchase the paving for their recommendations on gap size. It’s a lot about personal preference I like to see a joint of about 20mm slightly rased in middle of joint.

Every job is different, and you need Paving Pedestals that accommodate even the most complex paving issues - including sloping areas, drainage and maintenance access and allow you to complete your job quickly and easily.There is still a lot of work to do with this new site, so please bear with me while I get images updated and the new content coralled into the right place. Porous paving has now largely been superseded by the more durable permeable pavement and the use of SuDSFLOW spacers ensures the requirements for SuDS drainage systems can be fully complied with.

As with their timber predecessors, these plastic packers would be left upright, standing proud of the unfilled joints, presenting a trip hazard and often falling over and into the gap. In previous times, we would often use off-cuts of plywood or other timber to create 'spacers' between the paving elements. These would be left sticking up out of the joint, presenting a wonderful trip hazard, until the jointing was underway at which point, they would be (or should be! Although the main use for GapFast Spacers is with flagstone paving, be it concrete , porcelain or natural stone , they are also used when laying natural stone setts with sawn sides, and with both clay and concrete block pavers which are being rigidly laid (on a mortar bed with mortared joints). We have the vast majority of our decorative gravel range on show at our three branches in Oxford, Yarnton and Swindon so you can come in and view each product and even take away a free sample to help you decide which one to choose.Leaving the correct spacing in between each tile is essential to allow for movement and stress relief, but will differ according to the installation. Even the best of us can find it tricky to ensure that the joints we create between adjacent paving units are all the same. However, although they don't degrade in the same way as timber, the solid plastic prevents the essential jointing material from fully filling the space between paving elements, and so, once again, we have a potentially weakened joint. The Gapfast paving spacer provides a quick and easy method of installing all paving flags to give consistently accurate 10mm joints and to increase the structural integrity. Additionally SuDSFLOW spacers are normally able to be used close to buildings, as they allow dispersal of infiltration similar to natural vegetation.

Further, with some pavement jointing materials, there is a minimum joint width which must be met to ensure the jointing material performs as intended. These are available in a wide range of sizes, from 1mm to 12mm or more, and in 1mm increments, which meant it was usually possible to use a single packer, or a combination of sizes to obtain the desired joint width. With SuDSFLOW spacers, a far greater range of paving is made available to the Architect / Specifier than would usually be available via the limited scope of purpose made SuDS paving such as Marshalls Priora or Formpave Aquaflow.

See also the SudsFlow Spacers for creating permeable pavements using conventional flags or block pavers. If the slabs are riven on edge , if slabs have square edges some people will lay them with no joint which can look ok. This may not be super-critical to the overall pavement performance but, with certain types of paving, a regular, consistent joint width does have an important role in the aesthetics. On too many jobs, we saw lesser installers simply fill the empty joint leaving the fallen timber spacer in situ, where it would eventually rot away and leave a weakness-inducing void in the jointing material. At Jewson, we have great options for concrete patio slabs and concrete paving, offering excellent slip and skid resistance to ensure your space is usable all year round.
