A-Joint® Ready is the ready-to-use jointing mortar for patios, paths and driveways around the home, loadable up to 3.5 tonnes. It is pre-mixed, vacuum-packed and hardens on contact with air.
-
Vacuum-packed and ready to use straight away
A-Joint® Ready powered by ECCO is vacuum-packed in a PCR bucket of 15 or 25 kg and is ready to use immediately. No mixing, no second component, no mixing ratio to get wrong. The vacuum packaging keeps the mortar usable for 24 months in its original packaging, so leftovers from previous sites can be used again straight away.
-
Terraces, garden paths and driveways up to 3.5 tonnes
Designed for the kind of work garden contractors tackle every week: patios, footpaths and cycle paths, garden paths, courtyards and driveways subject to passenger car traffic. With a traffic load of up to 3.5 tonnes, A-Joint® Ready powered by ECCO can handle the average residential driveway with no problem. Suitable for virtually all natural stone and concrete paving.
-
Continue working in light rain
A-Joint® Ready powered by ECCO hardens through contact with air, not by drying out. Installation during light rain or damp weather is therefore not a problem. For landscaping contractors, that means: planning stays on track, no need to reschedule the job because the shower arrives an hour earlier, and no half day lost in labour costs.
