Sealing is not simply applying a product over a dirty surface. Compatibility and preparation are essential for a durable result.

Check the surface

Identify whether the driveway is concrete, pavers or another material, and whether an old coating is present. Some sealers are unsuitable for previously painted surfaces.

Cleaning and drying

The surface needs appropriate cleaning and sufficient drying time according to the product specification and weather conditions. Trapped moisture can cause coating problems.

Repairs and product choice

Cracks, loose pavers or failing coatings should be assessed before sealing. A suitable product should be selected for the material, exposure and desired finish.
