Jointing is a method of filling gaps after laying stones, which can increase the stability and aesthetics of the stone paving. However, not all courtyard floor paving stones require jointing, which depends on multiple factors.
Firstly, if large-sized stones are chosen, the gaps between the ground paving stones may be small and do not require additional jointing. Secondly, if the courtyard floor itself is a solid foundation, the gaps between the stones are relatively stable. However, if small-sized stones are chosen or the ground is not strong enough, then jointing becomes particularly important. Jointing can prevent displacement and loosening between stones, ensuring that the laid ground is more solid and durable.
In addition, jointing can prevent weed growth and keep the ground clean. So, when considering whether to use jointing, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the size of the stones, the stability of the ground, as well as one's own needs and preferences. Fill gaps with materials such as mortar or polymer grout. Remember to clean the stones thoroughly before filling and jointing, and ensure even filling of the ground stone jointing material.
According to the requirements of the jointing material, appropriate curing and maintenance should be carried out to ensure the stability and durability of the jointing. Whether chosen for jointing or not, the beauty and practicality of the courtyard floor stones will add unique charm and comfort to the courtyard.
