Question 1

What product do you use for concrete colour sealing?

Accepted Answer

We use NuTech PaveCoat, Australia's leading solvent-based acrylic concrete sealer. It provides deep penetration, durable protection, and a premium finish designed specifically for harsh Australian conditions.

Question 2

What are the benefits of NuTech PaveCoat?

Accepted Answer

PaveCoat offers excellent UV and weather resistance, ensuring your concrete won't fade or yellow over time. It forms a hard-wearing finish that resists oil, grease, and chemicals, making it perfect for driveways and high-traffic areas.

Question 3

How many colours are available?

Accepted Answer

NuTech PaveCoat is available in 29 standard colours to suit any home's aesthetic. If you have a specific shade in mind, custom colour matching is also available upon request.

Question 4

Can colour sealing be applied to new concrete?

Accepted Answer

Yes, colour sealing can be applied to new concrete, but the concrete must be allowed to cure for at least 7 days before the standard PaveCoat sealer is applied to ensure proper adhesion and longevity.

Question 5

How long after sealing can I drive on my driveway?

Accepted Answer

For vehicle traffic, you must wait a minimum of 7 days after the final coat is applied. This allows the acrylic sealer to fully cure and harden, preventing hot tyre pickup and surface damage. You can walk on it after 24 hours.

Question 6

Will the sealed surface be slippery when wet?

Accepted Answer

Standard sealed surfaces can be slippery when wet. However, for steep driveways, paths, or smooth surfaces, we mix in NuTech's AntiSlip additive to meet safety standards and provide excellent grip.

Question 7

Does the sealer sit on top or soak in?

Accepted Answer

Unlike some brittle surface films, PaveCoat is a deeply penetrating acrylic sealer. It soaks into the concrete substrate, creating a strong bond that reduces dusting and significantly lowers the risk of peeling or flaking.

Question 8

How do I maintain my colour sealed concrete?

Accepted Answer

Maintenance is easy. Simply clean spills promptly to prevent staining, and wash the surface occasionally with a gentle cleaner—avoiding harsh chemicals. Reapplication may be needed every few years depending on wear and sun exposure.
