Clear Oil Based Block Paving Sealer

Description

Blocking paving is one of those surfaces than can be an afterthought for both domestic and professional decorators. You want to focus on the bigger jobs such as exterior walls, brickwork, patio tiles, as well as wooden surfaces like fences, decking, sheds, and furniture.

But if you just ignore your block paving it can be ruined after prolonged exposure to rain, wind, frost, snow, and even harsh sunlight. Thankfully, painting block paving isn’t the only solution, and our clear oil-based block paving sealer is the only product you need.

What is Block Paving Sealer?

Our block paving sealer is a treatment designed to seal, stabilise and weather-proof block and seal paving, in addition to patios. As an oil-based treatment, its compound is naturally resistant to water damage, but also repels oils, fuels, and other spillages. This makes it ideal for high-wear areas like driveways.

Stone surfaces are also susceptible to mould if they’re constantly exposed to the elements, as water seeps into cracks and imperfections, allowing mould to grow at a rapid rate. Applying block paving sealer prevents this water from making contact with the vulnerable surface, so no mould can grow and water runs off easily.

How to Use Block Paving Sealer

We designed our block paving sealer to be as easy-to-use as possible. You can use a paint brush, paint roller, or sprayer, allowing for smooth and uniform coverage on both new and existing paving surfaces. The sealant dries quickly to a clear, protective finish, minimizing downtime and allowing you to enjoy your newly sealed driveway or patio sooner.

Some block paving sealers can make the surface more slippery, as it creates a layer on top of the natural, rough grain. Thankfully this can be remedied easily – we recommend mixing the treatment with silver sand or builder’s sand which will ensure safety without removing any of the benefits.

Speaking of which…

The Benefits of Block Paving Sealer

The main reason to use a block paving sealer over exterior paint is how it enhances the surface. Because exterior paints need to be durable, they often create a thick layer on top of the surface. This looks great, but some colours will look plasticky, especially if there is a high-sheen finish.

This is not the case with our oil-based sealer. It has a clear finish, meaning you can preserve the natural texture of the stone or brickwork. So if you prefer how your block paving looks without paint, but still want to protect it, a clear block paving sealer is the way to go.

Formulated with high-quality resins and oils, this sealant penetrates deep into the paving material, providing long-lasting protection against water, oil, stains, and UV radiation. It strengthens the paving material, reducing the risk of cracking, spalling, and efflorescence caused by freeze-thaw cycles, traffic, and environmental factors. No matter what your block paving goes through, our sealer will keep it looking good and free from damage.
