Limitations
- Gap Sand is not a cement based product and therefore does not stay permanently firm like mortar.
- When Gap Sand is wet from either hosing or rain, or from dampness raising from the sub base, it is soft and pliable and reacts like wet sand, albeit a little ‘stickier’
- Only when it is completely dry does Gap Sand form a firm bond between the pavers
- Care should be taken whenever paving is hosed not to point the water stream directly into the gaps as this will dislodge wet sand
- Gap Sand is not recommended for use in paving where the gaps are greater than 3mm wide. Cement Australia’s Sand & Cement, swept in dry or mixed wet, is recommended for paving with gaps wider than 3mm
- Gap Sand is not recommended for areas where pavers are subject to continual exposure to moisture – EG: pavers around the pool
