We get asked all the time about block pave sealing and what itโs benefits are so i thought this would be helpful ๐๐ป
These are the most FAQ -
1๏ธโฃ Will it make my driveway slippy? Nope, not at all
2๏ธโฃ Will my driveway be shiny? No, our sealer leaves a matt finish look so there is no shine but it will leave your block paving looking deeper in colour
3๏ธโฃ Once youโve applied the sealer will it stop the weeds from coming back? Again no, this ones a bit of a myth that sealer stops weeds forever, this simply just isnโt true. The real benefits of sealer is long term protection. Firstly once itโs applied the fine sand in between each block will go extremely hard making it a lot harder for weeds to start popping through again. Secondly over time the the top layer of your block paving slowly deteriorates exposing the small aggregate within the blocks and instead of being smooth on the top like when it was first installed it becomes rough. By sealing the surface this acts as a barrier between the blocks and all of the elements ๐ง๏ธ ๐จ โ๏ธ โ๏ธ Thirdly it actually stabilises the area from sinking
4๏ธโฃ Is it worth having done? 100% it is, although it is optional
5๏ธโฃ How long will it last? Between 2-3 years is the usual lifespan
6๏ธโฃ How long does it take to dry? Not long at all to be honest, usually around 4 hours for walking on but we would recommend 24 hours for vehicles
7๏ธโฃ Is it expensive? No, not really especially when you consider the benefits and the longevity that you will get out it
I hope that this helps in some way and gives a better insight into block pave sealing ๐
