After using Smartseal the paving looks like it was just laid yesterday!

By Colin Murphy

Product went on easily. Even covered the black spots on the pavers which I couldn't remove. Final finish looks brilliant.

By Tom Clarke

Gloss magic is a really good block paving product my drive looks fantastic and all of the neighbours are commenting on it. The video that you can watch is a bit misleading as it tells you to add kiln sand after painting but as its bound to be an old drive you are doing up its not necessary. In fact its a problem to try and do it. Better to let your drive look like its solid patterned concrete as the paint will have covered the sand anyway.

Technical

Liquid UV stable pigments blended with acrylic resins and solvents create "block magic". Developed by Smartseal with older block paving in mind, it will not only recolour block paving but protect the paving from future colour loss, weeds algae and staining.

'Block Magic' Coloured Paving Sealer is applied by roller, at a rate of approx 3.0m2 per litre. Make sure the colour has dried evenly across the block paving before appying a clear second coat of sealer.Prior to applying sealer, sweep kiln dried sand into the joints and ideally compact with 'wacker plate'.The sealer will be tack free within 2 hours at 20°C and foot traffic may be permitted after 4 hours. Vehicles should be kept off the sealed area for a minimum of 24 hours at 20°C. These times may be increased or reduced depending on the ambient temperature.
Ensure no rain is forecast for at least 6 hours after application. Do not apply when the ground temperature is above 30°C or below 10°C.
All equipment should be cleaned with Smartseal cleaning fluid after use.

Deicing salts should not be applied directly on sealed block paving or concrete sealers.
Salt chemically reduces the temperature at which water freezes and will result in water ingress into the pavers.
Subsequent freezing may result in the paving 'sealer' being broken by the expansion of water as it freezes and white 'pitted' areas may become visible.

*****NOT TO BE USED ON CLAY PAVERS

Preparation

Existing paving should be pressure washed to remove all surface debris and muck from the joints.
If the area is contaminated with weeds & moss then it should be treated with Smartseal moss clear or weed killer.
Oil and other stains should be removed using Smartseal Driveway Cleaner or Oil Remover.
The treated area should then be left to dry and the joints re-sanded & compacted to the lower edge of the paver chamfers with clean kiln-dried sand.
Moisture in the paver & sand will inhibit penetration of the sealer and produce whiteness.
