Terraces, garden paths and driveways up to 3.5 tonnes

With a traffic load of up to 3.5 tonnes, A-Joint® Ready powered by ECCO handles the average residential driveway without any problems. Suitable for virtually all natural stone and concrete paving.

Continue working in light rain
A-Joint® Ready powered by ECCO cures through contact with the air, not by drying out. Installation in light rain or damp weather is therefore no problem.
