Everbuild 405 High-Performance Path and Patio Seal – Solvent-Free – Clear – 25 Litre

We had problem with a 5.4m x 10.75m shed we installed 5 years ago as the concrete base has become duster and dustier and the shed became almost unusable as anything stored in there went grey with dust so, without really thinking this would work, I ordered 50 litres to see if I could sort it out. I swept and vacuumed the shed (I ended up with a cement bag 2/3 full of dust) and then applied the first coat with a bucket and a soft broom - it took c. 23 litres for the first coat, as it really absorbed it. The next day it was quite clear there was NO MORE DUST but I applied a second coat - it went on much more readily and I used far less and I also did a third coat which used even less again. I had approx half a barrel left so was able to do two coats on another concrete floor in our basement, which was less dusty but still the dust was a problem (this was 3.85 x 4.65 meters so much smaller) That used up the whole 50 litres exactly. The results are great - I swept both floors with a firm bristle brush and there was no dust anywhere - it is fantastic as the shed will not become a games room and we can have a table tennis table in there so the kids are pleased. I can't account for how long it will last but it has certainly sealed the floor. For me the sweeping and cleaning of the floor was the worst part as the dust was everywhere the application was actually quite satisfying! I 100% recommend this and we have now ordered Everbuild patio sealant for the terrace as they are clearly good products. Also it arrive promptly and so a reliable supplier.

I must confess, I am a worshipper of Resiblock. I coated my front garden block paving with the stuff last year - two generous coats needed on 10-year old untreated block paving - and it looked phenomenal. AND no weeds returned for a whole year. Absolutely top class product. But with top class products, come top prices. Moving along to our back garden - this year's project - with at least 4 times as much untreated block paving, the cost was going to be prohibitive. Probably pushing £300 - if not more - I had to abandon my Resiblock loyalty and find something else to do the job. This is where Everbuild's Path & Patio Paving Sealer comes in. At 25 litres, this was a monster-sized sealant at a very affordable price - about the same price as 5 litres of Resiblock. I was concerned about the 'milky' effect - which is mentioned in other reviews despite overall excellent ratings - but I decided to bite the bullet and give it a go. I chose a very sunny day, with a couple of days prior also being dry, to make sure the block paving wasn't even remotely damp, let alone wet - and set to work. I realised immediately that the liquid was very runny/watery and my roller wasn't really of much use, as it was splashing all over the place. I decided to opt for a couple of different sized brushes and put in the grunt work, The liquid is indeed milky-coloured, and I took the advice of others and ensured any areas where the liquid seemed to pool, were brushed out to avoid any patching. Because of the weather, the block paving dried very quickly. I decided not to run over a second coating on the same day (I've yet to do it) just because I didn't want to end up with a milky sheen if the bottom coating wasn't dry enough first. Once dry, the area looked like it had been treated - just - but didn't really carry a sheen of any kind. I think, based on photos from other reviewers, had a applied a second coat, this would have been more apparent. As it happens, I had untreated, very thirsty bricks. Because of the thin liquid, a little went a long way, and I still have plenty left for a second coat and to do two coats on the next section of block paving. The next time it rained, you could see the water repelling, which told me all I needed to know about the effectiveness of the product - it is certainly doing its job. It looks better in the rain! A few weeks on, there are no hints of weeds, either - I think perhaps because the combination of jet washing, resanding and sealing has kept those pesky weeds at bay. If I could afford to, I would reach for the Resiblock. However, like a lot of people, I have to do what I can afford, and for that reason, Everbuild is an excellent product which will cover an absolutely massive area and keep our block paving ticking over nicely.

Good quality product should last about a couple of years before needing done again

I purchased this for two reasons, firstly to seal our block paving driveway, secondly to seal a brand new Indian Sandstone patio. I've now used it on the sandstone patio and it looks great, used two coats to get a wetter looking finish, its worth noting that if you seal your sandstone patio with anything like this product, it will alter the look of the slabs when it rains, when it rains without the seal, the colours are just amazing, really rich and vibrate, once sealed with any seal, you will loose this effect, i've attached photos showing my patio sealed, the seal does definitely enhance the more vibrate slabs but no where near to what rain does on unsealed, this is a trade off for me, as I intend to use patio for BBQs etc and don't want grease stains to ruin the sandstone. Look at the image of my un-finshed patio, this was taken after when and without it being sealed, compare this to the 4 close-up images with seal, and make you choice, if you decide to seal, try some test pieces first, it may be worth buying a small sealer before committing to a large container like this. Application: Use a heavy duty roller, one with a metal frame 12" in size and ensure it has dual arms, not the typical one sided roller handle used for walls, I purchased a frame which has a half plastic bracket and it broke mid works, and you need to ensure you do the second coat within two hours of first. Also try to ensure that you roller as evenly as possible and don't let the seal "pool", use something like a shed/fence brush to brush out the excess sealer otherwise it will dry with a milky smooth finish which may ruin the look you want. buy the following from toolstation: 60038 Prodec 12" double arm roller frame, (Metal) £6.50 62842 Prodec Fibreglass & Aluminium Extension Pole 0.6m-1.2m £9.57 14068 Rota Premier Toptex 5 piece roller sleeve set £18, but don't use the roller frame, thats what broke for me I've yet to do the driveway. I would definitely recommend this product, it is great value, and in my opinion sealers are sealers, I could have paid £120 for a similar product and size

Brilliant stuff - my patio is old and I constantly jetwashed the slabs but they became dirty very quickly. I jetwashed my patio 5 months ago and then applied two coats of the sealant. I wasn't expecting the slabs to come out looking new because they were badly marked and pitted but they have remained clean and even colour across the whole patio and it has given them a slight sheen, the effect is a 100% better and I am very pleased with the finish. It is very easy to apply and we used a roller and a brush. It is more important to ensure you have a clean surface before you apply. The sealant goes a long way and I probably have enough to do my patio 2 -3 times If you have an old patio I can thoroughly recommend this sealant as it has certainly given mine a new lease of life!

Not as impressed as I hoped I would be. Both my neighbours, with the same style of block drive had pressure washed their drives and it showed mine up - 20 years of muck and grime etc. I therefore pressure washed mine and it improved it greatly but it looked a little washed out (as did the neighbours' drives). I therefore researched various sealing materials and went for this one - not too expensive and easy to apply. I was expecting a dull sheen because that is how it is sold. After the careful application of 3 coats and waiting for a few days I had a good look at it and compared it to what the drive next door looks like which has had no sealing on it. I can not see a difference. It may be that water and dirt will not stick as easily in the future, but at the moment I have a washed out looking drive that has cost me £40 and a few hours work to make it look like that.

After some weeks of resetting areas and a complete cleaning of our driveway. We were unsure what to use. The resin sealants are so expensive, near on £400 to do ours, that it was out of the question, knowing they last on average five years, would you want to pay that out again? Yes, the acrylics last between 18 months and 2 years, according to some enquiries we made, so this product at this price was what we went for. Our area of block paving is 72 sq metres in all so we hoped this 25 litres would cover it, we need not have worried, after applying two coats by roller, we still have 6 litres left over. It dried quickly after the first coat (soaking in) then the second coat was applied after 40 mins and that was when the difference was noticed, the sheen, as it says, is low, but it did enhance the colour of the blocks, you can tell it has had a treatment, it is milky as you apply it and at first, thought it was leaving a bloom on the blocks but as it dried this vanished. So, 25 litres at this price turned out to be a good buy for us, it has enhanced the blocks and went a long way, and after the first shower on it, it certainly has the water running off the surface, would hope it lasts as some of the guidance we got says it will, and all this on blocks that are 24 years old! July 2015, have just used the remainder of this to give one more coat for this year (after cleaning down with soapy water) and have to say it looks really good, more darkening and sheen so this coat has really enhanced the look. Will buy more next year for certain.

Great for patio gives my slabs a slight sheen. Easy to use.
