This 1-gallon breathable, natural-look matte finish paver sealer delivers crystal-clear surface protection, mold/moss/algae resistance, and industry-leading freeze/thaw durability down to an incredible -60°F — making SB-1300 the professional hardscape contractor's #1 choice for Northeast, Midwest, and cold-climate paver installations.

One paver sealer. Two jobs. Done right. SEK Surebond SB-1300 Joint Stabilizing Sealer eliminates the need for separate surface sealers and joint sand stabilizers — saving you time, labor, and money on every hardscape project.

Why SEK Surebond SB-1300 Is the Pro's #1 Joint Stabilizing Paver Sealer

Most paver sealers either seal the paver surface OR stabilize joint sand — forcing contractors and homeowners to buy two separate products and apply them in two separate applications. SB-1300 does both in one step. Its revolutionary water-thin viscosity allows the sealer to flow deep into paver joints and bond the sand into a solid, weed-resistant, washout-proof joint, while simultaneously sealing the paver surface from salts, acids, stains, oil, and corrosive chemicals. And because SB-1300 is fully breathable, it can be applied immediately after paver installation — without trapping efflorescence like traditional non-breathable paver sealers do.

Trusted by professional hardscape contractors, landscape installers, and paver specialists for over 30 years, SEK Surebond SB-1300 is the proven, time-tested paver sealer and joint stabilizer that performs job after job, season after season.

Actual coverage will vary based on paver type, age, condition, porosity, joint width, application method, temperature, and humidity.

SB-1300 Paver Sealer Application — Quick Overview

1. Clean the paver surface thoroughly — remove all dirt, old sealer, mold, algae, moss, and debris before application
2. Install joint sand per ASTM C144 specifications — joints should be no more than 3/4" wide
3. Compact the joint sand with a vibratory roller or plate compactor, stopping at the bottom of the paver chamfer edge (or 1/8" below the top of non-chamfered pavers)
4. Blow off all dust, debris, and loose sand from the paver surface with a leaf blower before sealing
5. Liberally spray SB-1300 sealer to flood the paver surface and joints, ensuring deep sand penetration
6. Use a foam squeegee to direct excess sealer into joints for maximum stabilization
7. Back-roll with a slit foam roller to even out the sealer and prevent pooling on uneven surfaces
8. Full cure in 24 hours — rain safe in 4–8 hours after application
9. Reapply every 2–3 years depending on surface type, traffic, and environmental exposure

Always follow the official SEK Surebond SB-1300 technical data sheet and installation guide for best results.

Important Application Notes & Pro Tips

• Always test on a small hidden area first to confirm paver compatibility and desired finish appearance
• One-coat application is standard — excessive coats may reduce breathability or cause surface slipperiness
• Anti-slip additive recommended for pool decks, inclines, stairs, and wet areas
• Protect from freezing during storage — keep in a cool, well-ventilated area
• Winter storage: keep in heated area to prevent freezing
• Finish ranges from matte to subtle satin sheen depending on paver surface porosity and texture
• For re-stabilizing joints in existing pavers: remove old joint sand to a minimum depth of 1" before re-sanding and sealing

Frequently Asked Questions About SB-1300 Paver Sealer

What does a joint stabilizing paver sealer do? A joint stabilizing sealer like SEK Surebond SB-1300 seals the paver surface AND hardens the joint sand in a single application — preventing sand washout, weed growth, and ant infestation while protecting pavers from stains, salts, and weathering.

Can I apply SB-1300 to brand-new pavers? Yes. Unlike most paver sealers that require a 30–90 day cure period, SB-1300 is fully breathable and can be applied immediately after paver installation without trapping efflorescence.

Will SB-1300 change the look of my pavers? SB-1300 dries crystal-clear with a natural matte to subtle satin finish. On most pavers, it produces minimal color change — just a clean, fresh-looking sealed surface. More porous pavers will show even less visual change.

How long does SB-1300 paver sealer last? Typical reapplication is every 2–3 years depending on traffic volume, climate, and environmental exposure.

Does SB-1300 prevent weeds in paver joints? Yes. By hardening the joint sand into a solid, locked matrix, SB-1300 prevents weed seed germination and ant tunneling between pavers.

Is SB-1300 safe for pool decks? Yes — SB-1300 is ideal for pool decks and pool surrounds. We recommend adding an anti-slip additive for wet areas.

Is SB-1300 breathable? Yes. SB-1300 is a fully breathable paver sealer that allows moisture vapor to escape, preventing trapped efflorescence and sealer failure.
