Paving Stone Sealer – Premium Quality
Our premium quality paving stone seal protects paving stone surfaces effectively and permanently from the weather, water, dirt and the effects of the weather. The surface remains breathable and optically unchanged.
The right protection for your paving stones:
Cobblestones are made to last. A road built according to the rules of road construction, such as the Via Appia antica, can still be cycled on a mountain bike today, 2300 years later. In your own garden and on private property, paving stone impregnation keeps the surface attractive and fresh. Because a pavement made of concrete and granite is almost indefinitely durable, but dirt, algae, moss, mold or changes due to environmental damage can appear on it. That is why our sealing is the right way to ensure lasting enjoyment of the paved surface. A paving stone impregnation is like a protective skin for the stone or the concrete: The sealing wards off harmful external effects, but still allows the stone to breathe. This means that concrete paving stones and granite paving stones are protected in the most natural way.
What are paving stones and where are they used?
The name plaster comes from the Roman word plastrum. The ancient Romans built their public squares and the long imperial roads that connected the trading posts of the empire out of natural stones. But many thousands of years before the Romans, in the Mesopotamian Empire 4000 BC. BC, urban pavements were laid out. Paving is solid, durable, resilient and has a beautiful surface. Before being replaced by asphalt in the 20th century, it was the material of choice for roads and paths. Even today, paving still accounts for a quarter of the city’s municipal roads. Above all, however, paving stones are laid on private property. Paving is the most beautiful and durable alternative for building paths and squares. And it has two more advantages: it lets the water seep through its joints; and it can be repaired quickly in some areas. A paving stone seal, also called paving stone impregnation, contributes significantly to the durability of the material.
What are paving stones made of?
Paving stone is everything that is suitable for surface paving when placed in a composite. This can be bricks or natural stones. There is even paving with wood and with blast furnace slag. The most common and easiest to use today are concrete and granite paving stones. Granite is known to be extremely hard and wear-resistant. It also scores with a highly aesthetic surface. Granite paving stones in the garden or on paths around the house create surfaces that are sensually and technically profoundly appealing. Our high-quality paving stone sealing creates protection for this valuable pavement for decades. Concrete paving stones can be made in any shape. Thanks to the industrial production, it delivers affordable paving with a high load capacity. Using our sealer also makes sense for concrete as a material.
How does our paving stone sealing work?
Anyone who has an old paved area on their property that has never been sealed will be able to sing a song about cleaning the paving stones. The scrubbing work is extremely tedious and especially something for repeat offenders. Because all it takes is a damp winter and a damp spring, and algae, moss and the like are back. The flora then spreads out on the porous concrete surface. Our paving stone sealing provides a remedy. Depending on the structure of the stone, it penetrates up to 25 mm deep. Once applied, the sealer can protect the stone for 10 to 20 years or even longer. It is colorless and does not change the appearance or consistency of concrete and granite paving stones. Ideally, the paving stone impregnation is applied by spraying. The paving stone remains breathable; At the same time, the paving stone sealing reduces the amount of water that forms on the surface of the stone – this significantly minimizes the risk of green deposits and the like.

A few important dates for our paving stone sealing
Paving stones are something for life. And impregnating paving stones will last for many years. Here are some key data for our product that prove its high quality and resilience. Whether smooth or rough surface, whether inside or outside – our paving stone sealant can be used in a variety of ways – at application temperatures between – 10 and + 70 degrees Celsius. The productivity of the paving stone sealant depends on the absorbency of the material. The porous concrete absorbs more sealing than the smoothly polished granite. The consumption for the paving stone impregnation varies between 10 and 50 square meters per liter of paving stone sealing. Since both concrete paving stones and granite paving stones absorb the sealant (hence the term paving stone impregnation), the curing time of our product is relatively short: 3 to 6 hours at an outside temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. The paving can be walked on again after just 1 to 2 hours. And if there is still sealant left over after the paving stones have been impregnated, this residue does not have to be disposed of: our sealant can be kept indefinitely in tin cans.
And a few more extras of our paving stone sealing
Concrete paving stones and paving stones made of granite are also protected against frost and strong, permanent sunlight – because our paving stone sealing is resistant to strong minus degrees and UV light. It penetrates deep into the concrete or granite and even allows steam cleaning of the plaster without being damaged. Another by-product of our paving stone sealing, which does not play a major role in paving, but once again makes the effectiveness of the impregnation clear: surfaces that have been treated with the sealing can be cleaned much more easily from graffiti paints, as the colors are even not succeed in penetrating the material. With our paving stone sealing, maximum protection is created for decades with minimal consumption. That is sustainability!
FAQ
1. The effectiveness of the sealer may be impaired if moisture (e.g. rain or rising damp from the floor) occurs during the application or drying phase (approx. 24 hours).
2. Pre-cleaning that is not completely residue-free can also lead to problems. It is essential that stone cleaners or other pre-cleaners are completely removed.
3. Any pre-coatings can prevent the sealant from being optimally absorbed and set, which can lead to a reduced or non-long-lasting effect.
Recommendation:
1. We generally advise against using a pressure washer for cleaning stone and concrete slabs. The heavy abrasion damages the surfaces and makes them more susceptible to re-soiling and algae growth.
2. The abrasive action of the pressure washer can remove the top layer of a sealant, even if the hydrophobicity in the deeper layers remains intact.
The durability of the sealant can be influenced by various factors. Possible problems during application, such as exposure to moisture during the drying phase or inadequate pre-cleaning, can impair the optimum effect. In addition, heavy use of the surface can shorten the service life of the sealant. However, it is possible that the depth effect is still present in the underlying layers.
The lack of beading effect could be due to problems with the application of the sealant. Moisture during application or incompletely removed pre-cleaning can impair the effect and prevent the sealant from being optimally absorbed and setting.
