Grit for Kilsaran Driveway Paving

Sierra Oscar

I'm looking to do some maintenance on my driveway paving ( https://www.kilsaran.ie/product/clima-pave-lismore/ ). The jointing uses grit consisting of "Aggregates, cement, admixture, and colour pigment" according to the documentation I was provided with by the developer.

Does anyone have any suggested product I should be buying and where I can get it? I'm having difficulty finding something suitable, have tried Woodies and B&Q.

Hi! It's probably this stuff, or it's equivalent:

I normally just use kiln-dried jointing sand like this on a very dry day:

Thanks for that. Your first link seems to be stuff that sets "Joint-It Simple sets rock hard". The paving has loose grit and I've been advised that it is important for drainage.

I would have gotten jointing sand but the contractor specifically advised me not to use sand (but can't seem to provide me with the exact product I should be using).

I've only ever really seen paving jointing done using sand, so I'm a little stumped!

It's listed as "Water-Permeable" in the description.

The Continental Op

3mm jointing grit is what you are looking for. If you download the link Guidance Documents from the link in your OP then you'll see on page 18 thats what they say to use. But feel free to read the rest of it. I just glanced through till I found that. Maybe there are some other recommendations there.

For some reason can't link to the actual doc is a Vanilla thing ;-(

Thanks, I missed that - sounds like a good option.

Cheers to you all for the feedback, much appreciated.

Paving grit/washed grit is what I've seen being used, Roadstone have it but not sure if in small bags.

Horticultural grit will do the same job.
