WITH SEALING THE SURFACE AFTER COMPLETION AN IMPORTANT STEP TO PROTECT THE LONG-TERM CONDITION OF NEW PATIOS AND PAVING, THOMPSON’S HIGHLIGHTS THE STEPS REQUIRED TO KEEP CUSTOMERS HAPPY… How to protect patio and paving surfaces
Patios and paving are a big investment, so it’s understandable customers are looking for that ‘brand new’ look to last. Using a good quality sealant is therefore crucial as it will help retain the colour of the slabs or stones for longer and, most importantly, can stop any moisture ingress from damaging the paving slab or stone, both in terms of appearance and structure. Thompson’s One Coat Patio & Block Paving Seal is an ideal sealant as it is suitable for granite, limestone, sandstone, flag stones or block paving. This powerful seal provides long- term protection, is touch-dry in just one hour and can be walked on after four hours.
