Block Paving Sealer - Gloss 25ltr

Technical Information

Application

Smartseal Block Paving sealer can be applied using a sprayer unit or roller, at a rate of 2.0m2 per litre (pavers) 1st coat & 3.5 m2 per litre 2nd coat. A two-coat spray application is required to fully cover the jointing sand. The sealer will be tack free within 2 hours at 20°C and foot traffic may be permitted after 4 hours. Vehicles should be kept off the sealed area for a minimum of 24 hours at 20°C. These times may be increased or reduced depending on the ambient temperature. During the curing cycle, protect from rain. Do not apply when the ground temperature is above 30°C or below 5°C. All equipment should be cleaned with Smartseal Xylene cleaner after use.

Deicing salts should not be applied directly on Smartseal block paving or concrete sealers. Salt chemically reduces the temperature at which water freezes and will result in water ingress into the concrete. Subsequent freezing may result in the concrete ‘seal’ being broken by the expansion of water as it freezes and white ‘pitted’ areas may become visible.

Preparation

New block paving or cobble stone paving should be swept clean, ensuring there is sufficient well-compacted sand in the joints. Existing paving should be pressure washed to remove all surface debris. If the area is contaminated with weeds & moss then it should be treated with Smartseal Fungicidal Wash. Oil and other stains should be removed using Smartseal Cleaner / Oil Remover. The treated area should then be left to dry and the joints re-sanded & compacted to the lower edge of the paver chamfers with clean kiln-dried sand. Moisture in the paver & sand will inhibit penetration of the sealer and produce whiteness.

This product was easy to apply with the roller and tray also supplied by this company. The drive now looks new again. It even seems to have lifted the colour somewhat but doesn't have a horrible plastic look. It does have an extremely strong smell. The chap I spoke with on the phone was extremely helpful and delivery was on time. Early days to see how long this will last though but am hopeful.

My neighbour and myself recently treated adjoining block paved drives with Smartseal sealer. The product was delivery promptly and following a little time spent on preparation was applied without difficulty. The finished result is excellent. The appearance of both drives has been transformed and the surface readily sheds rainwater. The sprayer supplied was perhaps the most effective method of application but did result in us ending up with a similar finish to the drive. We may elect to use a roller for any re-coats in the future.

i have used smart seal products for quite a while now and cannot find fault with them at all, i used the gloss sealer for the first time last week on my own drive and it looks stunning, i will be recomending the gloss sealant to my customers from now on .

Fantastic product, brilliant service, i was advised on what to do and what I needed, I have a 60m x 20m block paved drive and it now looks brand new like the day it was laid. I would definately recommend this product to everyone.
