This Smartseal Block Paving Sealer is designed for homeowners looking to protect and enhance their block paving driveways and patios. Its key benefit is providing a durable, weatherproof barrier that combats staining, weed growth, and erosion, while also enhancing the aesthetic appeal with a matt finish. A potential caveat is its solvent-based nature, which requires adequate ventilation during application.

The coverage rate is approximately 2m² per litre for the first coat and 3.5m² per litre for the second coat.
It is best to apply the sealer in temperatures between 10°C and 25°C. Avoid application during frost, heavy rain, or in direct, intense sunlight.
The durability depends on traffic and weather exposure, but Smartseal Block Paving Sealer is designed for long-lasting protection, often several years before reapplication may be needed.
No, this product is specifically designed to provide a Matt Finish, enhancing the natural look of the paving without a glossy appearance.
The paving must be clean, dry, and free from dirt, moss, oil, and any loose debris. Allow it to dry completely for at least 24-48 hours after cleaning.
Yes, Smartseal Block Paving Sealer is suitable for both block paving and flagstones.
Ensure good ventilation during application and drying. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection, as it is a solvent-based product.
This can occur if the sealer was applied too thickly or unevenly. Ensure consistent application with a sprayer or roller. If the issue is minor, a third, thin coat might help blend it. For significant issues, it may require stripping and reapplication.
This might be due to insufficient drying time between coats, high humidity, or low temperatures. Ensure the recommended drying times are followed and that conditions are suitable for application. Adequate ventilation is also crucial.
This is often caused by moisture trapped in or under the sealer. Ensure the surface was completely dry before application and that conditions during drying were not excessively damp. If it's a new issue, it might indicate moisture ingress from below.
While the sealer inhibits weed growth, it is not a complete guarantee, especially if seeds are present in surrounding soil or blown onto the surface. Ensure the joints are properly filled and that the sealer forms a continuous barrier.
Preparation: Ensure the block paving is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants such as dirt, moss, or old sealants. Allow the area to dry thoroughly, which may take 24-48 hours after cleaning, depending on weather conditions.
Application: Apply the sealer using a low-pressure garden sprayer or a roller. For the first coat, aim for a coverage of approximately 2m² per litre. Allow this coat to become touch-dry before applying the second coat, which should be at a rate of approximately 3.5m² per litre. Ensure even application to avoid patches or pooling.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on new or mature block paving and flagstones. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure desired results.
Care: Once sealed, the surface is easier to maintain. Regularly sweep away debris and, if necessary, clean with water and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Ventilation: As this is a solvent-based product, ensure good ventilation during application and drying. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and eye protection.
