Product Information

Description

Tikkurila Patio Paving Stain is a water-based stain for undyed or coloured concrete stones and slabs. Available in 11 earthy shades.

Suitable for application with a brush, roller, or spray. We recommend spray application for the best absorption and the most efficient application on large surfaces (finished off with a roller or brush, if needed, to ensure that the product penetrates the substrate pores)

Although the stain is colourless, it must be tinted before use. Choose your colour from the NEW Patio Paving Stain colour card, which includes 10 earth-tone shades.

Select a colour that closely resembles the stones to be treated. Undyed concrete grey paving stones, on the other hand, can be stained to a completely different colour while retaining their original appearance.

*Not recommended for new garden stones or non-absorbing substrates like wash concrete or natural stone.

Please note the Tikkurila Patio Paving Stain is mixed to order and we are unable to accept returns of Tikkurila Patio Paving Stain as each tin is tinted to order. We advise purchasing a small tin of your chosen colour prior to purchasing larger quantities. While we have done our utmost to showcase the colours on screen to their true colour, unfortunately, screens do not accurately represent paint colours as they will appear on your patio slabs or concrete.

Application Instructions

Achieve the best finish.

Follow these steps to maximise colour penetration, durability and overall appearance when applying Tikkurila Patio Paving Stain.

01

Prepare the Surface

Remove dirt, dust, moss and lichen. Pressure wash thoroughly and clean with Tikkurila Tehopesu Super Clean. New paving may require a turbo nozzle or higher pressure to ensure the surface is absorbent.

02

Mix & Apply

Stir thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly without stopping to avoid overlap marks. Use a brush, roller or knapsack sprayer and ensure the stain penetrates into the surface pores.

03

Build Colour

This product is a stain, not a paint. Avoid thick coats. Undyed concrete typically benefits from two coats, while coloured paving often requires only one coat.

04

Maintain Annually

Outdoor paving is exposed to weather and foot traffic. Maintenance treatments may be required annually to keep colour looking fresh and consistent.

Undyed Concrete
Apply 1–2 coats depending on absorbency. Two coats generally produce the richest and most even finish. May be thinned with up to 50% water if required.
Dyed Paving
Choose a shade close to the existing paving colour. One coat is usually sufficient, though a second coat can be applied if deeper colour is desired.
Important
Always carry out a trial application first to determine the best colour, thinning ratio, application method and number of coats for your particular paving surface.
