Application conditions

The surface to be treated must be dry. The temperature of the air, surface and stain must be at least +5ºC and the relative humidity of the air below 80 % during painting and drying.

Surface preparation

Clean surfaces from dirt, dust, moss and lichen. Wash surfaces with a pressure washer and use Tikkurila Tehopesu Power Clean according to instructions, if needed. If the pavings stones or slabs are relatively new, use turbo nozzle or at least sufficient pressure to ensure absorption capacity of the surface.

Application

Always make a trial application to find out the most suitable color, application method, amount of thinner and number of coats for the paving stones to be treated. Thin up to 50 % (2 parts of stain, 1 part of water).

Stir the stain well before and during the use of the product. Apply with a brush, roller or knapsack spray. When using a knapsack spray, finish with a roller or brush, when necessary, to ensure that the product penetrates into the substrate pores. Apply evenly and without interruption to avoid overlapping. Avoid applying as thick layers as with paint.

Undyed (concrete grey) paving stones and slabs:

Choose the desired color from the Patio Paving Stone color selection. Apply 1-2 coats depending on the absorbency of the substrate and desired end result. Should you apply several coats, thinning for the first coat is recommended. Two coats are recommended for best results.

Industrially dyed paving stones and slabs:

Choose a color as close to the stones as possible. Apply 1-2 coats depending on the absorbency of the substrate and desired end result. Normally one coat is sufficient.
