With an included fungicide, the Sika Patio Seal is one of the best patio sealers for protecting the patio and stopping any slippery moulds grow over the colder months. After final coat, make sure patio will be protected from rain for several hours. Ideally leave 24 hours of no rain and no traffic on the surface to ensure a full cure. Patio sealers can be sprayed or applied with a roller or brush. The most effective patio sealer for patios will allow spraying as a method of application for complete coverage and this is usually the least wasteful, however, some people (like myself) prefer to use a roller or good old brush.The liquid has a low enough viscosity to apply with a paint/fence sprayer, which seems to produce better results compared to using a roller. Using a sprayer is also more economical in terms of product usage. At least two, if not three coats will be required, and it takes at least three hours before the next coat can be applied. The addition of a wet look sealer is a highly decorative feature that boosts the look and feel of any space. Choosing the best wet look sealer to suit your surface is important.

We strongly recommend always apply the sealer to a test area first and leave for a few days before deciding that the product is the correct one for you. Once applied most sealers for patio slabs are fully cured after about 24 hours so you can then start to measure how effective the product is. Aesthetically it could take a few days to ‘settle’ down and reflect its true long term appearance. This product is a bit expensive, especially if you want to cover a large area, but it works exactly as advertised and gives a finish most other products can’t be compared to. Sealers that are mixed with polyurethane resin are best for a long-lasting, high-gloss finish . Acrylic is a common alternative to polyurethane. These may need reapplying more often, but are generally less expensive to buy. When considering the time of year and weather conditions to apply a sealer for patio slabs this should only really be considered between March and October. At the start and end of this period the weather in the UK can vary considerably, so our advice would be only to apply the products in temperatures of around 13 degrees and above after a few days of dry weather.

You can use a roller or brush to apply the product depending on the one that you are comfortable working with, I personally think a roller is easier. The 5-litre sealant can keep your patios protected for up to 5 years depending on weather conditions and use. Pros The US-made product protects the surface without darkening it, however, this depends on the surface in question because some might slightly darken. Per gallon of this sealant, you can cover an area of 600ft2 using a roller, a brush or you can spray it on. We think this is a great choice if you have a slate patio and it’s the only one that actually mentions slate. Pros One of the best sealants to buy on a budget, the Bond It Patio Paving Sealer comes in a 5 L bottle and brings out the natural colour of paving stones without breaking the bank. All firm-forming sealers add a protective layer to your pavers. This layer is supposed to prevent staining and discoloration, minimize wear and tear, make cleaning easier, and handle weed growth.

As a solvent-free, acrylic based formula, the sealer has a limited odour and is relatively easy to apply. It can be used over many different patio surfaces including sandstone, limestone and concrete. On most surfaces, it dries to a clear and subtle matt sheen finish with limited gloss.

It prevents the stones from additional wear and tear caused by the elements, UV rays and general foot traffic, thus elongating the service life. Finish– Last but not least, you need to consider the finish of the sealer you go for. This is, of course, a cosmetic concern only. Therefore, it is going to have no impact on the sealer’s functional capabilities, no matter what finish you choose. There is no ultimate finish. It is all about personal taste. Therefore, it is a good idea to look at different images whereby different types of finishes have been used so that you can understand the key differences. Like water-based sealers, solvent-based sealers are also mixed with either acrylic or polyurethane resin. Instead of water, these resins are mixed with solvents like xylene.
