BOND IT PAVES THE WAY WITH GEO-FIX ®

Bond It is ensuring landscaping and urban design professionals across the UK and Ireland can continue to benefit from a revolutionary jointing compound which makes it quicker and easier to install and maintain paved , flagged , and other similar areas .
The leading UK-based , independent manufacturer of sealants , adhesives and building chemicals has become the new and exclusive distributor of Geo-Fix ® for the British Isles .
Available in both an Original and an All-Weather formulation , Geo- Fix ® provides a superior means of pointing pavers , cobbles , flags , slabs , and stone setts .
Unlike other products , which require the addition of water or the mixing of separate components such as sand , cement and water , Geo-Fix ® is supplied pre-mixed and ready to use . This saves time , effort , and mess - both in terms of preparation and post-job clean up .
Geo-Fix ® is also incredibly quick and easy to install . It is applied by brushing into the joints and can then be finished by compacting with a pointing tool before a completely safe , chemical reaction causes it to cure and harden .
As well as impressive speed and ease of application , Geo-Fix ® also offers levels of performance that surpass those of wet mortars and of other dry mortars that use polymeric sand .
As a prime example , the length of time required for it to cure is much shorter and it can reach full loadbearing capacity in hours rather than the more usual days .
In addition , Geo-Fix ® provides greater flexibility as to when work can be carried out . Geo- Fix ® Original can be used at temperatures as low as -5 º C whilst Geo-Fix ® All Weather can be used in all conditions – including the wet .
As a further benefit , Geo-Fix ® All Weather is also perfectly suited for use with porcelain paving .
As porcelain paving is just 20mm thick , it ’ s essential that any jointing compound can still perform in a joint with a dramatically reduced depth . Geo-Fix ® All Weather provides that capability and can be used in joints as shallow as 15mm .
To help customers maximise the opportunities by the growing trend towards porcelain paving , Bond It will be introducing further specialist products imminently .
