Best driveway sealers supplier UK? Blooming/Whitening of Sealer Coat/Film–This is a much wider problem and it can occur on all the substrates – Imprinted/Pressed Concrete, Natural Stone. Indian Stone, Block Paving, Man-Made paving, Slate and Granite, Brick and Stone. This can happen on the first sealer coat/film that is applied or at any time when any of these substrates are resealed. We go back to the rules of how and when these products need to be applied. The solvent content of these products which gives it its longevity has an instant reaction to moisture /water before the curing period of 10 – 14 hours. This means that during that period if it rains or the temperature drops moisture can settle on the sealer coat/film and give it a ghosting effect or whitening effect, sometimes on darker substrates you may not see it as a ghosting effect but as a colour diminishes for example Black coloured products can look grey. With our Bloom Remover we will explain how easy it is to get rid of the problem. Discover extra information on https://www.swiss-seal.co.uk/cleaners/.

Treating weeds in artificial/fake grass – Autumn can bring on the issues of weeds, moss, and algae to the artificial/fake or fake grass. To remove these issues, you would do the following. Power wash the artificial/fake/fake grass. This will remove all but very stubborn stains, use our SWISS-SEAL ARTIFICIAL GRASS CLEANER to treat the grassed area, the solution is environmentally friendly and works extremely well at treating all these issues. When this is done remove any excess with a soft broom, then rinse with the power wash, and if necessary, when dry replace any lost sand.

To keep the jet wash concentrating on the substrate make sure you have a whirlybird attachment. It will save a lot of time, effort and keep all around clean and dry including yourself. Keep pets away until surface is fully dry: Remember, if it is blocks you have just cleaned then you will need to replace the sand between the joints. This is generally dried kiln sand bought from a builder’s merchant or D.I.Y store. Once this process is done and cleaned then the next job is to protect the cleaned surface from the problems mentioned above. I will be adding several blogs bespoke to individual substrates to understand and apply the relevant sealer that substrate (Natural Stone. Indian Stone. Block Paving, Man-Made paving, Slate and Granite. Brick and Stone) needed to be used.

Imprinted concrete sealer and Concrete sealer work to reduce the wear of your concrete, it stops water from entering the surface & stops the loss of the colour on the imprinted concrete surface by wearing away the concrete sealer and not the concrete colour. The sealer will inhibit the growth of algae moss and weeds in block paving. It protects wet concrete and block paving against frost thus stopping eventual shailing and flaking of the concrete. We sell all our Driveway repair systems plus a range of water based eco-friendly acrylic, polyurethane and fluoro-polymer based products to compliment our current extensive range of solvent based sealers.
