Everbuild 405 High-Performance Path and Patio Seal – Solvent-free – Clear – 25 Litre

I purchased this for two reasons, firstly to seal our block paving driveway, secondly to seal a brand new Indian Sandstone patio.I've now used it on the sandstone patio and it looks great, used two coats to get a wetter looking finish, its worth noting that if you seal your sandstone patio with anything like this product, it will alter the look of the slabs when it rains, when it rains without the seal, the colours are just amazing, really rich and vibrate, once sealed with any seal, you will loose this effect, i've attached photos showing my patio sealed, the seal does definitely enhance the more vibrate slabs but no where near to what rain does on unsealed, this is a trade off for me, as I intend to use patio for BBQs etc and don't want grease stains to ruin the sandstone.Look at the image of my un-finshed patio, this was taken after when and without it being sealed, compare this to the 4 close-up images with seal, and make you choice, if you decide to seal, try some test pieces first, it may be worth buying a small sealer before committing to a large container like this.Application:Use a heavy duty roller, one with a metal frame 12" in size and ensure it has dual arms, not the typical one sided roller handle used for walls, I purchased a frame which has a half plastic bracket and it broke mid works, and you need to ensure you do the second coat within two hours of first.Also try to ensure that you roller as evenly as possible and don't let the seal "pool", use something like a shed/fence brush to brush out the excess sealer otherwise it will dry with a milky smooth finish which may ruin the look you want.buy the following from toolstation:60038 Prodec 12" double arm roller frame, (Metal) £6.5062842 Prodec Fibreglass & Aluminium Extension Pole 0.6m-1.2m £9.5714068 Rota Premier Toptex 5 piece roller sleeve set £18, but don't use the roller frame, thats what broke for meI've yet to do the driveway.I would definitely recommend this product, it is great value, and in my opinion sealers are sealers, I could have paid £120 for a similar product and size

We ordered the 25l "bottle" which was more than enough for two coats on our patio. Tipping the contents into a tray was challenging, hence the 4 stars for ease of use, I wish I had read the reviewer who syphoned it out.By using a Coral 41409 Easy Coater Paint Roller Cover, Coral 42701 Paint Roller Frame Double Arm, Black, 12" Fixed and a Coral 76503 Shurglide Telescopic Extension Pole with Latest Flip-Cam Lock, as recommended by another user, application was easy.I was also careful to clean the patio as much as possible before hand, a leaf blower is an excellent tool for this, then hose down to remove dirt and then the leaf blower to finish it off.I did get residue from the garden on the roller but it didn’t seem to have a negative effect.I was careful to avoid pooling by going back over areas with obvious puddles with a light roll using a nearly empty roller.The effect, whilst subtle, definitely shows up the colours in the Indian Sandstone to nice effect.

Does what it says on the label, and so easy to apply with the roller.

We had problem with a 5.4m x 10.75m shed we installed 5 years ago as the concrete base has become duster and dustier and the shed became almost unusable as anything stored in there went grey with dust so, without really thinking this would work, I ordered 50 litres to see if I could sort it out. I swept and vacuumed the shed (I ended up with a cement bag 2/3 full of dust) and then applied the first coat with a bucket and a soft broom - it took c. 23 litres for the first coat, as it really absorbed it. The next day it was quite clear there was NO MORE DUST but I applied a second coat - it went on much more readily and I used far less and I also did a third coat which used even less again. I had approx half a barrel left so was able to do two coats on another concrete floor in our basement, which was less dusty but still the dust was a problem (this was 3.85 x 4.65 meters so much smaller) That used up the whole 50 litres exactly. The results are great - I swept both floors with a firm bristle brush and there was no dust anywhere - it is fantastic as the shed will not become a games room and we can have a table tennis table in there so the kids are pleased. I can't account for how long it will last but it has certainly sealed the floor. For me the sweeping and cleaning of the floor was the worst part as the dust was everywhere the application was actually quite satisfying! I 100% recommend this and we have now ordered Everbuild patio sealant for the terrace as they are clearly good products. Also it arrive promptly and so a reliable supplier.

Great product, good coverage and easy to apply.
