SEK Surebond EZ Set Trass Based Fiber Reinforced Setting Bed Binder, 60 lb
The Failure This Is Designed To Prevent
A traditional mortar bed is effectively watertight. Any water that gets past the paver joints has nowhere to go, so it sits at the bed line, freezes, expands and lifts. EZ Set builds a bed that lets that water keep moving down and out, which also cuts the efflorescence migration that trapped water drives up through the joints.
- Highly permeable. Promotes internal system drainage rather than trapping water.
- Freeze thaw resistant. Which follows directly from the drainage.
- Fiber reinforced. Trass blend fibers give the bed rigid structural behaviour.
- Minimizes efflorescence migration. Less white bloom coming up through the joints later.
- Mixed on site. You control the batch with 3/8 in angular clear aggregate.
What It Is Built For
- Large format pavers
- Natural stone, porcelain and tile
- Walkways, patios, pool decks and courtyards
- Driveways and light duty commercial
- Turf applications as a permeable base

The Three Part EZ Way System
SEK sells these as a system and they do different jobs. EZ Set is the permeable setting bed binder. EZ Bond is the polymer modified wet set that bonds the paving unit down onto that bed. EZ Overlay is the dry set alternative that installs straight over existing sound concrete with no mixing at all.
