matt sealer....were to buy
« on: May 05, 2013, 07:41:01 pm »
i have a very particular customer who wants her drive cleaning, sanding and sealing because shes sick of the weeds. She said she 100% only wants a matt sealer (  so basicly she just wanted the drive to look freshly layed) were is the best online shop to order it from as i have never used matt sealer before (i need about 20-25litres)

Good choice roger, the best. but I would be tempted to use resiblock 22 as it's a one coat application so easier and quicker as opposed to superior which is a 2 coat, and 22 is also commercial grade so stronger, superior matt is domestic and a 2 coat system.
I think resiblock give a 10 year garentee agains loss of jointing sand to their large scale commercial clients with  the 22.
Used them both and prefer 22 everytime when it comes to matt.
No offence Roger, not under mining you, i have respect for you as I know you have lots of experience and been doing the job longer than most on here, just offering my opinion too  ;D

No offence taken Kenny, Resiblock 22 is a great product I have used it, and in the domestic field. The Superior though does seem to give the pavers a bit more depth of colour which not knowing the customer here, I feel would want to see from h20's original post.
22 is easier to use, but you know what customers are like, if they see 2 coats going down then they think they have got value for their money regardless of the product.

Would resiblock 22 work well on a patio and path of natural stone slabs? or is it used more for the jointing sand in driveways rather than protecting slabs from moss ,lichen etc

for natural stone I would use the indian sonte sealer (if it is indian stone that you have). If it's not indian stone I would look for the specific sealer, ie lithofin and maybe speak to keving Martin on the hard surface cleaning section, he will probably be able to help you. Resiblock 22 is more of a joint stabilzer than sealer. also it is not designed for natural stones.
Roger, I know what you mean mate, I try to use resiblock everytime I seal as i know it does what it says on the tin, but I'm finding, especially on larger drives (100m2 +) that people cringe when I tell them the price, they usually go for a clean and sand every year, which suits me fine all the same  ;D

That's the problem with me I find myself feeling guilty when I tell them the price sometimes! I'm sure someone recommended me that stuff before isn't it like £200 for 25 litres:o I carnt honestly see this "tight" customer paying the price I would have to charge lol

I fully intend to shock them with my sealing price, tell them its a waste of money and say its better value to chean every other year. I would have never sealed any last year as we never had any weather to get a drive dry enough to seal.

Ye I have been doing that now saying you can get 2 clean and sanding for the price of 1! That way your in and out! But I do enjoy sealing them because the finish is quite impressive. Isn't there any Matt sealer for around £100 that's the figure I used when quoting the job lol

Was watching a program the other day and I'm sure they said in England out of 365 days a year, it rains on 200 of them... take out a few weekends and bank holidays, christmas, easter, etc and it makes you wonder if it's worth sealing at all ...

Don't use the 22 on the natural stone, for me products of choice are Lithofin, Aqua-Mix, and Resiblocks Indian Sandstone sealer Matt or Wet-look.
