I recently had a patio laid with Bradstone Autumn Cotswold Paving.

When I viewed the flags at the local builders merchants, the colour was just what we wanted - with yellows and light red However, I failed to realise that it had been raining on that day at the merchants, and now - on this dry day - I have a lovely sort of grey patio.

I would like to know if there are any sealants out there that can return these colours. I was told the the 'wet look' sealants will provide a 'sheen' to the flag but not the colours.

The only other alternative is to throw a bucket of water on it each day ;)

Wet look sealants will work.

But.....get the matt version. On flags, satin/ semi gloss looks a bit odd.
