What is Brush-In Patio Grout?

Brush-in patio grout is a type of paving compound that joins and sets your patio slabs in place. It is a dry mix of sand and cement, often pre-mixed for ease of use, that fills the gaps between your paving slabs – simply pour it on, brush it in, and leave it to set. Some types of brush-in grout do require mixing with water before application, so always read the manufacturer's instructions. Also available in a range of colours, brush-in patio grout is a cost-effective and reliable product for grouting any-sized patio.

Patio Brush-In Grout: What’s the Difference?

Knowing the various classifications of patio grout can help you decide which product is most suited to your skill set, types of paving slabs, and your desired finish. Below is a breakdown of the best brush-in grout to help you get it right from the start. 

Factors to Consider When Choosing Brush-In Patio Grout

When it comes to laying a patio, several factors must be considered when selecting the correct type of brush-in grout to fill the gaps between your paving and complete the project. 

• Paving Slab Material – Whether you use porcelain, natural stone, or concrete, ensure you select a brush-in grout suited to your material. 

• Type of Paving Slab – Patios come in all shapes and sizes, and you may require a higher quantity of grout for intricate cobble setts vs large stone slabs.

• Patio Use – High traffic areas may require a stronger compound with a longer lifespan, whereas small, untouched areas can last with a standard, all-weather grout.

• Size of the Area – A large patio will require more grout to seal the joints. Look for a brush-in grout that adequately covers the area while staying within budget.

• Grout Colour – With a range of coloured grouts available, you can find the shade that blends in or stands out depending on the finished look you want.

• Project Timeline – If you’re on a tight timeline, look for brush-in grouts with quick drying and curing times, as well as walk-on times, such as ProJoint RapidFlow.

• How Much You Need – Each of our brush-in grout products has a handy calculator to help you determine how much grout is needed to cover the area and joint depths.
