Mapepave Brush in Grout Basalt

Basalt is a deeper, darker tone within the Mapepave Brush In Grout range, inspired by the dark volcanic rock of the same name. Compared to the standard Grey or Light Grey options in the range, Basalt offers a more dramatic contrast that works particularly well with lighter or mid-toned paving slabs. If you want your jointing to create a defined, contemporary look on your patio or path, Basalt is an excellent choice.

At standard conditions of 23°C and 50% relative humidity, light foot traffic is achievable after approximately 24 hours, but full use of the area takes around 7 days to allow the grout to cure completely. In typical UK outdoor conditions, where temperatures and humidity levels can vary, curing may take longer, so it is sensible to plan your installation ahead of any planned use of the patio or path.

Yes, Mapepave Brush In Grout Basalt is well suited to thick outdoor paving slabs, and the product’s stated coverage is actually based on 600mm x 600mm x 20mm slabs with 5mm joints, covering approximately 25m² per bag. This makes it an ideal match for the increasingly popular 20mm porcelain paving products used in modern garden and patio projects. Its outdoor-specific formulation is designed to withstand the weathering conditions that external installations face in the UK.
