is
a granular material placed between the joints or seams in
brick pavers or stone in patios, walkways and driveways.
It's primary function is to improve the interlock and
therefore the durability and stability of a paved surface.
Until 4-5 years ago, this function was performed most often
with silica or torpedo sand. The sand would be swept between
the joints of a brick paver, bluestone or flagstone patio,
and it's mere presence would enhance the interlock between
pavers or stones. ("Interlock" is another way of expressing
a segmental pavement's ability to resist movement via
friction between pieces of pavement.) Often that sand would
be stabilized by applying a sealer to the pavement; the
sealer would help to maintain certain characteristics of the
pavers or stone, and would harden the uppermost layer of
joint sand, making it resistant to water washouts, ants and
weeds.-
Helps prevent weed sprouting
-
Helps prevent damages caused by insects
-
Helps prevent water erosion
-
Sets as soon as water is sprayed
-
Sets at above freezing temperature (0 C - 32 F)
-
Can be applied even if storm is expected
(3 hours at a minimum before it rains). -
Depending on diverse weather conditions, the SuperSand Bond will be expand or condense.
This elasticity insures that the paver joints are properly filled. -
Does not stain paving stone.
