Joint Stabilizing Sand

Polymeric sands are a mix of graded sand and binder, specially formulated for the filling of narrow or wide joints when installing slabs or paving stones. When combined with water, the sand sets, yet allows for movement of paving units without cracking. Once cured, it resists insects and weed growth and erosion. Polymeric Sands are ideal for stabilizing horizontal or sloping installations, and can be used with driveways, patios, pool decks, pedestrian ways, store fronts, parking lots, etc.

Polymeric Sands have the ability to expand and condense. This elasticity ensures that the paver joints avoid cracking and are properly filled at all times. Polymeric sands should only be used when pavers are installed on a drainage bed system. Never when pavers are set on a concrete base. Over 200 million square feet of pavers have been installed in North America, and the popularity of these materials is rising steadily. When installed using a polymeric sand, the surface is flexible, withstanding loads, wear and weather. Application of polymeric sand is almost identical to using regular joint sand. The only difference is the application of water. Once dried, the product stabilizes "locks" permanently into the joints. Pavers stand up well to snow removal processes and resist deicing salts better than conventional asphalt or concrete pavement.
