Why do I need Gapfast?
If you want to know how to lay paving slabs easily and achieve a professional finish to your patio, then you will find Gapfast invaluable. Paving manufacturers will typically specify a 10mm pointing gap between their paving slabs. If you visit your local DIY store & pick up their “how-to-lay-a-patio” or “how-to-build-a-patio” leaflet it will tell you to use 10mm spacers. Before Gapfast you would have to spend time & money making your own spacers (typically from wood). Now with Gapfast you will not only have a bespoke paving spacer but it will enhance the strength of the patio as well. Job done!
Do I need Gapfast Crosses or Tees?
For checkerboard (Stacked) laying patterns you will need Crosses
For Staggered (Offset) laying patterns & for Patio Packs you will need Tees:
