How toClean and seal block paving on driveways and patios

SmartSeals easy to follow five-step process will not only totally transform the look of old block-paved driveways and patios, but could save you thousands of pounds by avoiding the need for expensive replacement.

With exposure to the weather, damaging UV light, wear and tear and pressure washing, most block paving - after around 20 years - has lost most of its colour, leaving the driveway or patio no longer a focal point or valuable asset to the home.

Does your floor look like this?

The process is simple!

Step 1 is to pre-treat with SmartSeal DriveClean or PatioClean Xtreme60. These are powerful cleaning products with 4 active ingredients, that enable the block paving to be cleaned quickly and effectively, without the need for intensive pressure washing. If weeds are present, treat with weed killer approximately 7 days beforehand.

60 minutes after application, clean with a pressure washer, ensuring that all muck and weeds have been removed from the joints. This completes step 2 of the process.

Your patio can easilylook like this!Once the block paving has been left for a few days to thoroughly dry, move onto step 3. One coat of Block Magic, applied by roller, with a paint brush for the edging, is normally all thats required to totally re-colour the pavers. Block Magic is a high performance restoration product that not only colour, but also seals and protects block paving.

Discovering block magic!

Block Magic should not to be confused with a concrete paint. Once applied, it will soak into the pavers, and unlike a paint, will not peel, flake or chip off. With its unique formulation of concentrated liquid pigments, combined with high quality acrylic resins, Block Magic will remain coloured fast for at least 5 years, with a long lifespan of the product guaranteed.

Block Magic is fast-drying. After only 1-2 hours, step 4 of the process can commence. Sweep kiln-dried sand neatly across the blocks, ensuring all joints are filled, making sure no sand is left on the surface.

Step 5 is to apply a second coat of clear sealer by sprayer or roller. This not only protects the blocks further, but sets the sand in the joints rock solid, providing extra strength and stability, whilst also helping reduce future maintenance and providing protection from weeds.

And thats it - a complete transformation! The driveway or patio now looks amazing, as good as new! The surface can be walked on after 2 hours and driven on after 24 hours.

Repeat

With an occasional application of diluted DriveClean60 or PatioClean60 and a top-up coat of protective sealer every few years, any thoughts of replacing the block paving can be forgotten.
