ECOFINE Resin Jointing Sand: A Closer Look at Sustainable Hardscape Solutions
When it comes to jointing materials for patios, pool decks, and pathways, ROMEX ECOFINE stands out as a high-performance, sustainable solution. Designed for both beauty and durability, ECOFINE not only delivers excellent permeability and strength but also reflects ROMEX’s commitment to environmental responsibility. Let’s take a closer look at how this innovative resin jointing sand is made and why it’s the go-to choice for eco-conscious hardscape projects.
Sustainability at Its Core
One of the key differentiators of ECOFINE is its eco-friendly composition. The jointing sand is made from 98% recycled, raw, or renewable materials, minimizing its impact on natural resources. By repurposing and reusing materials that would otherwise go to waste, ROMEX significantly reduces environmental strain while maintaining the highest quality standards for hardscape applications.
Powered by the Sun
In addition to its sustainable ingredients, ECOFINE is manufactured using solar energy, ensuring that production leaves a minimal carbon footprint. ROMEX’s investment in renewable energy sources underscores its dedication to sustainable innovation. By harnessing the power of the sun, the company reduces reliance on fossil fuels, cutting emissions and promoting cleaner production practices.
Engineered for High Performance
Sustainability doesn’t mean compromising on performance. ECOFINE delivers exceptional durability and functionality:
- Permeability – Allows water to drain effectively, preventing surface runoff and contributing to sustainable stormwater management.
- Weed and Ant Resistance – Keeps your hardscape looking pristine with minimal maintenance.
- Pressure Washable – Once cured, it withstands cleaning and exposure to the elements.
- Versatile Applications – Suitable for joint widths of over 1/8” (3 mm) on porcelain tiles and 1/4” (5 mm) on natural stone or concrete pavers.
Easy and Reliable Installation
ECOFINE is designed for straightforward application, making it ideal for both professionals and homeowners looking for a high-quality finish. The installation process ensures strong, lasting joints while supporting the environmental benefits of permeable hardscapes.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare a stable, well-draining base to ensure long-term performance.
- Pre-wet the surface to aid in the jointing process.
- Open the vacuum-packed mortar and distribute it onto the wet surface.
- Use a continuous water spray and a squeegee to fill the joints evenly.
- Allow partial drying before sweeping off any excess material.
- Protect from heavy rain for 24 hours to ensure proper curing.
