The Homefront Patio Sealer is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to protect their outdoor surfaces from stains and weathering. Its key benefit is providing a long-lasting, invisible barrier that keeps patios, driveways, and paths looking like new for up to 10 years.

FAQs
How long does the Homefront Patio Sealer last?
The sealer provides an invisible layer of protection for up to 10 years, safeguarding against dirt, grease, fat, and grime.
What surfaces can I use this sealer on?
It is suitable for use on a variety of outdoor surfaces including Indian sandstone, concrete, brickwork, and internal stone floors.
What surfaces should I avoid using this sealer on?
The sealer is not suitable for lime-based materials or tarmac.
How long after application is it safe from rain?
The formula is rainfast in just 4 hours, meaning it can withstand light rain after this period.
What is the full curing time for the sealer?
The sealer has a full cure time of 24 hours. It is recommended to avoid heavy traffic or placing furniture on the treated surface until after this period.
How do I prepare the surface before applying the sealer?
The surface must be clean, dry, and free from loose debris, moss, or algae. Power washing and allowing at least 48 hours of drying time is recommended.
Can I apply this sealer on a damp surface?
No, the surface must be completely dry before application for the sealer to bond effectively and provide long-lasting protection.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks after application
This can occur from over-application or inconsistent spreading. Ensure the product is applied evenly and in thin coats. If the issue is minor, it may blend over time. For significant issues, re-application might be necessary after the surface is fully cured, ensuring even coverage.
Sealer not drying or remaining tacky
This could be due to application in damp conditions, low temperatures, or on a surface not fully dried. Ensure application occurs when temperatures are between 5-25°C and the surface is completely dry. If the product is still tacky after 24 hours, additional ventilation may help, or a light rinse with water might be needed on some surfaces, followed by re-application once dry.
Water is still penetrating the surface
The surface may not have been adequately sealed, or the sealer has degraded over time. Ensure full coverage during application. If the sealer is old or has been applied several years ago, re-application may be necessary to restore its protective properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry, and free from any loose debris, moss, or algae. For best results, power wash the area and allow it to dry completely for at least 48 hours before application.
Compatibility: This sealer is suitable for Indian sandstone, concrete, brickwork, and internal stone floors. Crucially, it is NOT suitable for lime-based materials (such as some types of render or old lime mortar) or tarmac. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Application: Apply the sealer evenly using a brush, roller, or sprayer. Avoid over-application. Ensure good ventilation during use.
Curing: The surface will be rainfast in 4 hours. Allow a full 24 hours for the sealer to cure completely before allowing heavy foot traffic or placing furniture on the treated area.
Care: Once sealed, routine cleaning can be done with water and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could degrade the protective layer.
