Product Information
Full details
Tikkurila Patio Kivikuullote in EK10 Cream is an ideal solution for homeowners looking to revitalise aged, absorbent concrete paving stones and garden slabs. By using a water-based formula that penetrates deeply, it restores colour while maintaining the natural texture of the stone; however, it is strictly intended for mature, absorbent surfaces and is not suitable for brand-new paving or non-porous materials like sealed natural stone.

FAQs
Can I use this on natural stone?
No, this product is specifically designed for absorbent concrete paving stones and is not suitable for natural stone.
Is this product suitable for my brand-new patio?
No, this stain should not be used on brand-new paving stones as they are typically not yet sufficiently absorbent.
What tools do I need for application?
You can use a brush, roller, or spray equipment, depending on the scale of your project.
Does it mask the texture of the concrete?
No, the stain is designed to penetrate the surface and maintain the original texture of the concrete slabs.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
As it is a water-based product, brushes and rollers can generally be cleaned with soap and water.
Will this work on wash concrete?
No, this product is not recommended for non-absorbent surfaces like wash concrete.
Troubleshooting
The stain is pooling on the surface instead of absorbing.
The stone is likely non-absorbent or already sealed; remove the excess product and do not proceed with further application.
Colour appears uneven after drying.
Ensure the surface was cleaned uniformly before application; you may need to apply a second thin coat once the first has fully cured to balance the shade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, verify the surface is porous by testing a small, inconspicuous area; if water beads on the surface, the stain will not penetrate and should not be used. Ensure the patio is free from dirt, moss, and grease to allow for maximum absorption. Application should be performed in dry, temperate conditions to prevent premature drying or interference from moisture. For maintenance, keep the area free from debris. Since the stain is absorbed into the substrate, it does not require the frequent stripping associated with topical paints, but it may require reapplication over several years depending on traffic and exposure to the elements.
