We carry a wide range of Stabilizing Sand and Polymeric Stabilizing Sand
Stabilizing Sand
Envirobond manufactures EnviroSTONE Stabilized Crushed Stone for Flagstone
and Path applications as well as EnviroSAND for use with paving stone. Together
these products control erosion, are flexible, self healing, re-Usable and reduce
maintenance. Stabilizing Sand is great at inhibiting week growth and works in
all climates. Enviro-mentally friendly utilizing organically derived binders.

EnviroSAND
ENVIROBOND STABILIZED JOINT
SAND combines a blend of high grade angular joint sand with an ORGANIC
binder for joint lock-up in segmental pavement systems.
eg. -Interlocking stone or natural cobble stone
When activated by water,
ENVIROBOND STABILIZED JOINT SAND forms an adhesive gel bonding sand
particles together
Covers 90-100 square feet on
tight joint pavers and 60-80 square feet on tumbled pavers. Allow 24 hours
to set and in dry conditions. |

EnviroSTONE
If you are looking for a
solution to the constant wash-out of your flagstone joint filler. If you
are tired of the cracking of traditional concrete jointing systems after
freeze thaw and regular shifting. Envirobond is the "All
Natural" Solution.
Because this organically
derived binder is non-toxic you can feel free to create durable erosion
resistant walks and patios near lakes, rivers and wilderness areas without
fear of polluting the water or harming any wildlife. Plant roots will
receive water through this surface (as it is water permeable) and plant
growth is inhibited due to its self-healing nature preventing soil from
accumulating in cracks where plants establish their root. Allow 24 hours
to set and in dry conditions.

Polymeric Sand

King Permasand Stabilizing Sand A
quick setting polymer modified sand designed for filling joints of
interlock pavers and slabs. Starts bonding when sprayed with a fine mist of water. Will work at above freezing temperatures
(0oC or 32oF). It can be installed if rain is forecasted for 3 hours
after installation. Resistant to erosion, weeds and insects. Unique particle size and colours (Sand Beige and Grey)
Excellent for use around pools, patios, pedestrian walks, driveways or areas of water run-off.
NOTE: Ensure the sand is properly swept into the joints
prior to misting. Once the sand sets ... it is
very difficult to remove. Do not apply to damp or wet stone. It will harden immediately!

Stabilizing Sand versus Polymeric Sand
It has been proven in the industry
that a stable jointing sand is needed..... The following is an explanation of
the differences between "Stabilizing Sand" and "Polymeric
Sand".
Polymeric sets up quite hard
when water is applied (once and
only once) Be sure that it is swept into the joints properly.
· Once set up, Polymeric sand stays
in one state- converting a segmental system to a monolithic one.
· Polymeric sand will harden and is difficult, almost impossible to remove.
Installation notes for Polymeric
Sand:
An important factor in the final outcome of the installation is how the sand is
put in. The surface must be completely dry before applying Polymeric Sand. When
applying the sand, be sure that all the joints are filled and that there is no
sand remaining on the surface. (Any sand remaining on the surface will stick
permanently to the surface ).
Polymeric Sand slows joint erossion.
Is available in two colours (beige or grey). Extremely durable. Mitigates weed
growth in joints. Reduces ant infestation and is easy to apply.
Envirobond Stabilizing Sand is
re-usable
· Envirobond allows for flexibility
in the joints as it molds itself to the movement of the joint.
· Allows for a very user-friendly installation (material left on surface of
paver prior to watering will harden, but can be watered and swept off surface to
be used in joints)
· Re-usability of the sand allows for easy lift and re-lay of pavers.
Installation notes for Envirobond
Stabilizing Sand:
If Envirobond sand is not swept entirely off of the paver surface prior to
watering, it will harden on the paver, but can easily be removed. Simply
saturate the pavers and sweep residue sand off of the surface of pavers.
Because it is self-healing
Envirobond remains flexible in the joints as Polymeric turns a segmental system
closer to a monolithic one.
NOTE: Polymeric and Stabilizing sand
although having different properties, and having slightly different application
values are meant to be used to help control joint erosion. Neither is a cement
product and therefore need proper maintenance and may need to be re-applied
every few years to top up any joint erosion that may occur over time.
