The gun or the broom - Pointing

[exoticpete]

Looking for opinions on which is better for pointing Indian sandstone paving and setts, easyjoint or easipoint (and or simliar), i am looking for a quality product which can be carried out quickly in most weather conditions.

Easyjoint is a hell of a lot quicker because you just sweep it in water it down, top it up and thats job done.

Easipoint takes a bit longer but in my opinion gives a superior finish and there is a much better range of colours available

Damn!! thought this was a martial art topic.

I agree with LSP on this,easypoint is a superior if more technical finish

I think its dictated by the paving material. If it's a natural sandstone for example then easyjoint will do the job. If its a contemporary sawn stone then easyjoint will not give the desired finish

Thanks for the help, visited London stone to pick up some Easipoint yesterday, very impressed with the range and quality of stone, also the sample packs are great.

To illustrate my point. We installed sawn grey sandstone at our display a few weeks ago. We didn't point it straight away for various reasons. We got loads of interest in the stone until we pointed it with easyjoint, after which nobody gave it a second glance.



Its probarbly hard to see from the photo but the granular finish of easyjoint looked inferior against the sawn sandstone. We just re-pointed it with easypoint light grey and it looks a million times better. Will post further pictures on Monday.

Glad you liked the sample box Pete. It was a massive operation putting them all together
