In April the Resapol Southampton Depot was contacted by Reds Builders for a project involving the jointing of Yorkstone paving slabs situated in Old Portsmouth. They sought a product that would meet their requirements of ease of use & quick application; the project needed to be completed by the King’s Coronation weekend on May 6th. The project site is situated on the seafront and adjacent to the seawall; meaning during volatile weather conditions waves crash into the wall and subsequently puddle on the paving. Barney Wotman, Technical Advisor at Resapol Southampton, recommended Steintec’s tufftop, alongside Weiss Install Protect and the rental of a Pergo 880 Grout Cleaner.
Steintec tufftop is a high performance, highly elastic, free flowing bonding mortar that contains no polymer or resin additives and requires only the addition of water. It is renowned for its durability, strength, and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for jointing the Yorkstone paving slabs. It offers excellent bond strength, crack resistance, and weather resistance, ensuring long-lasting results. The material comes in a range of colour options, the beige version of tufftop was selected for this project to achieve an aesthetically pleasing result. Weiss Install Protect is a pre-construction protection impregnator for paving elements and the Pergo 880 Grout Cleaner is a sponge belted grout cleaning machine.
The materials were promptly delivered to the project site in Old Portsmouth, allowing Reds Builders to start the project as soon as possible; the ease of application facilitated efficient completion in time for the Coronation. Paul Lewis, Business Development Manager & Senior Estimator at Reds Builders, expressed his satisfaction with Resapol Southampton and the chosen materials:
“Resapol Southampton’s service was second to none, they always come up with a solution that works great! The products and equipment were easy to use, so much so that we are planning to use the same materials for an upcoming project in July.”
