Kerb Edge Sealing

A Simple, Long-Lasting Solution for Pavement Edge Protection

Sealing the interface between the road surface and kerb face plays a crucial role in protecting pavement structure, improving water management, and eliminating costly weed control measures.

The Problem

Over time, the gap between the kerb and the asphalt carriageway becomes a trap for soil, debris, and moisture—creating ideal conditions for:

  • Prolific weed growth, which weakens the joint and displaces material
  • Water ingress, where surface runoff fails to reach gullies and instead seeps into the sub-base, gradually undermining pavement integrity
  • Increased maintenance demands, as herbicide restrictions make traditional weed control less effective

The Solution: Jointmaster Kerb Edge Sealing

Rhino’s kerb edge sealing system uses a BBA HAPAS-approved, polymer-enhanced Jointmaster compound to create a flexible, durable, and watertight seal between the asphalt and kerb.

Benefits include:

  • Watertight barrier redirects surface water back to gullies
  • Prevents future weed growth by eliminating rootable substrate
  • Reduces maintenance costs by removing the need for regular weed spraying
  • Protects the sub-base and pavement structure from moisture ingress
  • Installs quickly with minimal traffic disruption

Once sealed, the kerb edge becomes a clean, protected, and maintenance-free joint—preserving both aesthetics and structural performance.
