Product Information

Suitable for popular natural stone types including sandstone, Indian sandstone, limestone, slate, quarry tile, travertine, granite & more You’ll need to make sure that you get the best patio sealer for the type of stones you want to seal, and ensure that it will achieve the effect you’re after. As long as the patio is thoroughly dry and clean of debris before application, it can produce a non-slip, low-sheen finish which protects the slabs from water, stains and wear. The exact area that one bottle can cover is dependent on the porosity of the patio and how the seal is applied. To make things easier, the seal has a slightly milky colour when wet, which makes it possible to see which areas have already been covered. One 25 L bottle should be sufficient for the majority of spaces.

Once dried, the Sika Patio Seal is very resistant to water, and it brings out the colour of slabs with its slightly glossy finish. The sealer is sufficiently high-gloss to shimmer in the sunlight, which may or may not be desirable depending on personal preference.Compared to some other makes, it’s markedly less expensive, especially considering that you still receive a reasonable amount in the bottle. Offering good value for money, this Everbuild 405 Path & Patio Seal comes with enough product to coat a large patio at least twice (if not three times).

Gloss sealers can offer a range of finished, from a light sheen, to a ‘wet look’, to high gloss. Most people who are looking for a relatively subtle gloss on their patio want to achieve the ‘wet look’. This is designed to replicate the richer, darker appearance that paving gains after rainfall. If you want to avoid a gloss finish, the Pro-Kleen PatioSeal dries matt, leaving almost no trace on the paving at all. The 25 L bottle of solvent-free, acrylic coating is very reasonably priced considering its coverage, and it creates a good finish on the patio. Sealers that are mixed with polyurethane resin are best for a long-lasting, high-gloss finish . Acrylic is a common alternative to polyurethane. These may need reapplying more often, but are generally less expensive to buy.The liquid has a low enough viscosity to apply with a paint/fence sprayer, which seems to produce better results compared to using a roller. Using a sprayer is also more economical in terms of product usage. At least two, if not three coats will be required, and it takes at least three hours before the next coat can be applied. The following information will help you make an informed decision when looking for a patio sealer, as well as give you tips on how to use it.

Water-based sealers are mixed with a resin. This resin might be acrylic or polyurethane. Because they are water based, these sealers do not have as strong a smell as solvent-based sealers, making them more pleasant to use. The Bond It Patio Paving Sealer is also relatively effective against the growth of mould and algae. Although it may not stop it from growing altogether, customers have reported noticing a dramatic decrease in the amount of mould present on their patio. The 3.785 L (1 gallon) bottle contains enough sealer to do a couple of coats on the majority of small/medium patios, but a larger amount may be required for bigger areas. To seal the patio without changing the appearance of the stones, you might want to look for an ‘impregnating sealer’ . These are absorbed into the porous stones instead of sitting on top of them.NATURAL COLOURS FOR A MODERN LOOK - Experience the transformative power of our premium Stone Sealers designed for limestone, sandstone, granite, Indian stone, and marble.
