Quick Links - Click To Jump To Section:
Paving stones and slabs are exposed to continuous weathering and they may be subject to severe mechanical stress. Therefore they might also need maintenance treatment almost every year. Reserve enough stain of the same batch for one uniform surface to avoid possible colour differences.
Tikkurila Patio Paving Stain is translucent and therefore unsuitable to change colour of previously industrially dyed paving stone or slab. Stones or slabs of different age might turn out differently in terms of colour. Impurities like motor oil, crystallization of salts or other impurities have an effect on the final colour.
Colours
Application
For preparation and application instructions, refer to the product data sheet in the data Sheets tab further above.
Undyed (concrete grey) paving stones and slabs:
Apply 1-2 coats depending on the absorbency of the substrate and desired end result. Should you apply several coats, thinning for the first coat is recommended. Two coats are recommended for best results.
Industrially dyed paving stones and slabs:
Choose a colour as close to the stones as possible. Apply 1-2 coats depending on the absorbency of the substrate and desired end result. Normally one coat is sufficient.
Maintenance
Handle the treated surface with care, as the product achieves its final hardness and durability in approx. 4 weeks in normal conditions.
At the earliest after 1 month from the treatment a dirty surface can be cleaned with Tikkurila Huoltopesu Maintenance Cleaner (1 part of Huoltopesu to 10 parts of water). Rinse the surfaces and allow to dry.
Surfaces treated with Patio Paving Stain can be recoated with Patio Paving Stain.

 michael chester on 2024-03-13 13:52:01 | Question: can this be used on percelain tiles for in-house use? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: Unfortunately no, this is for external applications on porous substrates such as concrete paving. | |
| Mark wilcox on 2023-11-12 14:14:40 | Question: Even though this actually soaks into the concrete does it still behave like a paint in wet winter weather and lift out or is it permanent whatever the weather? Thanks Mark |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: This product is a translucent coloured stain, designed to absorb into the surface in a similar way a timber stain would. The degree of absorption depends on the quality and condition of the surface it is applied to, aswell as the porostiy and if it's previously been coated or treated. If there is no absorption it generally just sits on the surface, and it would most likely wash off the surface over time. Absorption will give an idea how it is likely to perform longer-term, as well as the ability to withstand trafficking and weathering. If the stain remains left on the surface, it will most likely be removed by trafficking, general wear or exposure to weathering. The more it absorbs, the less likely weathering and trafficking will have on the durability of the product. Regular maintenance is recommended with it being an external product, with more severe weathering through winter likely to limit the overall performance/ability of the product. | |
| Philippa Montgomery on 2023-09-07 01:26:42 | Question: You state that it is not recommended for use on new concrete pavers. What would happen if we tried to stain some new grey pavers black? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: This product relies on a level of porosity of the substrate to penetrate. With new paving stones the product may not be able to be absorbed. If you wish to try it we would recommend to test on a small area prior to full application. | |
| Dan on 2023-05-05 18:23:53 | Question: Would this work on driveway block paving if I wanted to go from a new dark grey to a grey or light grey? I have part replaced a 16m2 section which is now a lot darker than the original driveway. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: Assuming the block paving is porous this could be used. It is works on the principle of the stain being absorbed into the surface. The degree of absorption will depend on the surface to which it is applied and the quality of the surface, its condition, any previous treatments and its porosity. This in turn will influence how well the product will perform long-term and its ability to withstand trafficking and other demands. If the stain is left on the surface for example, then it will be more likely to be removed by trafficking or general wear, or cleaning or exposure to general weather. | |
| Donna gribble on 2023-05-04 17:00:36 | Question: Hi Can you use this on block paving and do you seal it |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: Assuming the block paving is concrete and porous, yes it can be used. It is not designed to be sealed. | |
| Jade on 2023-04-22 10:37:59 | Question: Is this a watery wash, or does it leave a plastic-y coating on slabs? I'm looking for something that literally sinks in and doesnt leave a shiny coating on the top. I tried a Resin Coat paint sample, but that was a solid paint finish, looked cheap. Thanks |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: This product is a penetrative stain not a coating like a paint. | |
| Phil on 2022-08-07 09:17:11 | Question: After slabs have been stained can you apply a patio sealer over the stained slabs? (Such as Sika patio seal) |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: This product is normally left as the finish, application of another product over the top is not recommended. | |
| Peter L-W on 2022-08-06 14:15:12 | Question: Would this product be suitable for faded black limestone slabs |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: Unforuntately no, this is formulated for use on concrete paving, it is not recommend for use on any natural stone. | |
| Melanie on 2022-02-03 10:06:21 | Question: I have concrete riven slabs on my driveway (grey) but I would like to change the colour to a buff. Is that possible with this stain and would it be suitable for a driveway? Is there any additional sealers required if applied ? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: No, unfortunately this wont be possible. The stain would potentially cover a very very light grey slab but ultimately the final colour depends on the original colour of the slabs. For the best results we recommending selecting a colour that closely resembles the stones to be treated. | |
