Sika Patio Seal - Paving Sealer, Clear, 5 Litre

My grey paved drive is 5 years old, was never originally sealed and so covered with moss in the joints and algae on the paviour faces. It looked a mess. Pressure washed then re-sanded (make sure the paviours are bone dry otherwise the sand drags). I left it a week in warm weather, and tested a small patch to see if the kiln sand slid in. It did. So re-sanded one day, and sealed the next in August 2020 as the weather was forecast to change and wanted it done. Best tip online is to use a leaf blower before sealing to help rid of excess sand. Don't worry if seems too much sand is blown away, the sand only needs to be between blocks not up high. Also don't need whacker plate as only topping sand up. NB. there are different shades of kiln sand, at different builders merchants, it depends what they can get apparently. I never realised and had to exchange 2 bags of reddish sand for blonde sand like the original as red looked awful with grey paving. Apologies I digress.... now to the BLOCK SEALER. Sika seal very easy to use, like a white PVA/acrylic liquid, goes on bluey white, dries quickly and invisibly on a hot day. Cut in edges by walls with paint brush, then first coat with roller, second with garden pump spray. It dries rock hard, as evidenced on sand blown off edge of drive when I poked it. Very pleased as it felt it might wash off at first rain when you first put it on. Close up photo is finished drive. Not glossy, but has enhanced paviour a little bit, bear in mind it was never done before, so the sealer was really sucked in. I feel it's protected now. I may do another coat or two as not too expensive to buy, and do prefer a sheen look. Amazon has great price on this when compared to other suppliers/products. Happy to update. Time will tell ☺️ good luck all, it's a very satisfying job done 👍🏼

Make sure it is applied in dry conditions where possible. It did work in the damp but more preperation to remove all moisture is required. Spreads well and is simple to use.

Bought to seal my driveway which has red brick paving and kiln dried sand joints. Over the past 5 years I have had to karcher and replace sand every year. This year I decided to use this sealer after karcher and re sand. Applied three coats with electric sprayer doing about 5 square metres at a time.The effect is immediate, giving the paving a sheen and sealing the sand in the joints. Container recommends roller application, I didn’t follow that as I could not see how to avoid lifting the sand out of the joints onto the roller and subsequently on the paving. No such problem with power spray. It has been sealed for three months now, looks the same as day I did it. We have had heavy rain and strong winds which would have previously left my paving sand splattered and untidy whereas the sealed paving looks unblemished. Very happy with finished result using this product.

Great to brush on soon dries with clear seal finish

waste of money
