By Vivienne Swale

Ordered the sample size of the sealer and was delighted with the results so ordered 5litres.. have used it on the borders of my drive .. it makes a real statement .. as I used the tan colour on the drive itself .. from badly faded to really impressive.. just the clear silk coat to do .. but my drive already looks amazing!

Product Description

#blockmagic_5step

Add colour to your block paving to make it look like new.

Smartseal "Block Magic" is a blend of liquid pigments and acrylic resins that soaks deeply into paving, totally transforming and protecting block paving driveways and patios. 'Block Magic' replaces the colour that sun, rain, vehicles and pressure washing has taken away. Apply one coat of 'Block Magic' by brush or roller, leave to dry, re-sand the joints and apply 2nd coat of clear sealer. PLEASE NOTE: old or poorly conditioned pavers may require two coats of Block Magic to achieve a uniform finish.

***NOT TO BE USED ON CLAY PAVERS OR IN COMBINATION WITH THE POLYURETHANE

 Transforms Old Block Paving

  • Recolours and Protects
  • UV Stable
  • Colour Fast
  • Stain Resistant
  • Hard Wearing
  • Covers 3 m²/litre on average based on one coat (coverage may be reduced to around 2.5 m² per litre on old pavers)
  • Other Colours Available

There are 2 methods which can be carried out on Block Paving. The first method is to keep the sand the original colour and the second to change the colour of the sand (whilst protecting the area).

Application Guidelines To KEEP Sand Original Colour:
  1. Ensure paving is pressure washed/cleaned to remove all surface debris and 'muck' from joints.
  2. Leave paving to dry for 5 clear & dry days.
  3. Apply one coat of Block Magic with Roller. If you're changing the colour you may need to apply two coats (coverage in description)
  4. Leave Block Magic to dry for around 2 hours.
  5. Re-sand surface area, with "kiln-dried sand".
  6. Lastly, apply a coat of the Smartseal Block Paving Sealer MATT or SILK, this will adhere to the colour and solidify the sand.
Application Guidelines To CHANGE Sand Colour:
  1. Ensure paving is pressure washed/cleaned to remove all surface debris and 'muck' from joints.
  2. Leave paving to dry for 5 clear & dry days.
  3. Re-sand surface area, with ''kiln-dried sand''.
  4. Apply two coats of Block Magic with a Roller, leaving 2 hours between each coat.
  5. Ensure no rainfall is due for at least 8 hours after application.

After correctly applying the sealer, expect to have between 3-5 years protection*. Sealer longevity will vary dependent on a number of factors such as: traffic (foot/vehicle), weather and general maintenance.

Product FAQs

Q: Hi, How long can you store opened containers of Block Magic and Sealer for future projects? Thank you.

Paul

A: If the Block Magic is sealed back up, stored in a dry place, and kept out of direct sunlight, the sealer can keep for several years. Always recommend giving it a stir first and if nothing untoward has happened in the sealer, it will be fine to use.

Response from Ricky

Q: Is there a light. Grey and dark grey to purchase

David Gilbert

A: At present, we do a Dark Grey Block Magic, but not a light grey. We have a Mid-Grey version and samples are available on all our colour range for doing a test for peace of mind.

Response from Jake

Q: Hi, I used the block magic and sealer on my drive quite a few years ago. It's now looking in need of doing again. We have some areas where the colour is worn away and some patches where it's cloudy white. Can I use the block magic over this and reseal? Thanks Dan

Dan Lacey

A: If would be best to do a test area with the Block Magic over the cloudy area and leave for 2 weeks to ensure it doesn’t return. If all is well, you would be able to go over with your new coat.

Technical

Liquid UV stable pigments blended with acrylic resins and solvents create "block magic". Developed by Smartseal with older block paving in mind, it will not only recolour block paving but protect the paving from future colour loss, weeds algae and staining.

'Block Magic' Coloured Paving Sealer is applied by roller, at a rate of approx 3.0m² per litre (around 2.5m² per litre on old pavers) . Make sure the colour has dried evenly across the block paving before applying a clear second coat of sealer.Prior to applying sealer, sweep kiln dried sand into the joints and ideally compact with 'wacker plate'.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.
Ensure no rain is forecast for at least 6 hours after application. Do not apply when the ground temperature is above 23°C or below 12°C.
All equipment should be cleaned with Smartseal cleaning fluid after use.

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

*****NOT TO BE USED ON CLAY PAVERS

*** If your Block Paving has been previously sealed - to ensure compatibility, please contact us here before ordering: https://www.smartseal.co.uk/help-advice/contact-us.htm

Preparation
 
Existing paving should be pressure washed to remove all surface debris and muck from the joints.
If the area is contaminated with weeds & moss then it should be treated with Smartseal moss clear or weed killer.
Oil and other stains should be removed using Smartseal Driveway Cleaner or 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.
