Stone Sealers

Stone Sealers

Some paving sealers will simply seal and protect, whereas others can be used to enhance the colour of your slabs. Sealing your paving will also help to protect against other general wear such as fading which can sometimes occur over long periods.

Always be sure to test the product on an inconspicuous area or offcut first to be sure that it gets you the desired results and please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for guides on how to apply the treatment to your stone.

Sealing Paving

It’s generally advised to seal your paving to help prevent staining and any growth of any moss or algae. You may want to consider sealing your slabs if your stone is light in colour, as any stains will be more visible, but sealing is not compulsory and there are plenty of options that will provide various results! As for when to apply a stone sealer, there are no specific guidelines and most landscapers will have their own tried and tested methods. Some people choose to seal their paving slabs before laying to prevent any staining during the laying process and others prefer to leave their stone unsealed for up to a year, allowing the slabs to weather naturally first. To find out what is best for you, we always advise speaking to a local tradesperson who will be able to assess the needs of your project.
