Preparation

• For new block paved areas, remove all loose material by brush or vacuum.
• Ensure the joints are filled with compacted Sika Setting Sand or kiln dried sand before treating with Sika Block Paving Seal.
• For existing block paved areas remove all traces of weeds, algae and lichens with Sika Mould Buster.
• Remove oil, grease and diesel stains.
• Ensure all areas are completely dry before applying Sika Block Paving Seal.
• To ensure the paving is completely dry, scrape out some jointing sand to a depth of up to 10mm. If the sand is dry then the blocks may be treated.

Application

• Treat the perimeter of the prepared block paving area first.
• Apply the first coat by roller spreading liberally and uniformly, making sure the Sika® Block Paving Seal does not puddle.
• During application always ensure a ‘wet edge’ is maintained to avoid a striping affect.
• Repeat the process leaving a maximum of 24 hours between coats.
• Apply the second coat at right angles to the first.
• Do not over-apply.
• Allow at least 6 hours before pedestrian traffic and 24 hours for vehicle traffic.
• Protect from moisture during curing. If rain is likely within 6 hours of application, do not use.
• As a guide Sika Block Paving Seal will treat up to 5-8m² per litre.
• Coverage will depend on surface finish, permeability and profile of the block pavers.
• It is always recommended that a trial area be treated to ascertain an accurate measure of consumption and to ensure the finished appearance is acceptable.
• Clean with white spirit.
