Setting Sand – Ideal For Filling Narrow Paving Joints – Resists Weeds – Sets Hard – Moisture Curing – Buff – 20kg

This product was very easy to lay, sweep into crevices and water in. Hopefully it will stop weeds appearing as it sets hard.

Seems to work exactly as described, time will tell, but just as easy as kiln dried sand to brush in, 1 day after installation it’s solid as a rock

Great product, sets well, and looks to have set blocks well, be careful if gaps are small and not put down too much, have finished mine with two coats of sealer and it now looks as good as it was when laid

I purchased Sika Sand because I was getting fed up with replacing the kiln dried sand each year that lies between the slabs on my patio (the gaps are too narrow and varied in size for me to be able to cement them in permanently). The slabs need to be pressure washed every year to remove algae and dirt and I have to continually weed the area throughout the year afterwards - hopefully, no longer! Coverage was much the same as any kiln dried sand I've used in the past; the sand flowed well and was easy to remove from surfaces before wetting and setting In use, after reading the reviews, I ensured I brushed as much of the sand off the patio paving slabs as I could. I then soaked the entire area thoroughly using a very light sprinkler attached to a hose but without washing out the sand or leaving any puddles. The paving slabs have a riven effect which did hold some water, so I carefully brushed the water off the slabs until they were as dry as possible. The next day there was some very light residue of sand on a few slabs which brushed off easily. 2 weeks later and the grout lines are hard and the finish is very good. I missed a number of small areas (or the sand had washed into voids under the slabs) but I re-did these areas and they're fine now. The cured product is light grey in colour and I used nearly a full bag of sand spread over an area approximately 10x3 metres. Width of gaps was between 2mm and 5mm and quite deep in places - around 10-15mm in places. Overall, although maybe 2-3 times the price of ordinary kiln dried sand, I think Sika Sand is good value. It will save me a lot of time, hard work and money in the future. I can't vouch for the long-term durability of the finish but it looks set for a few years yet. Recommended.

This stuff Is good at lasting long in the joint as it describe. And does stop weeds from growing in the joint to an extent. But weeds and moss started growing on stop of the join I found after a while. Wouldn’t say it’s worth the price tag. But it’s better than just normal joint sand. Easy to use.

Worked well on brick paving drive, filled gaps and one bag did 10mx5m drive, once wet,a light spray, set hard, no weeds!

Ideal product for the job, easy to use and it works.

This is the first time I have used the sand and it works well for me once it's dried hard I used a sealer and the water just runs off great product.
