I've just finished a drive concrete hardstanding, its extremely similar in pattern to your guide.
I come across your site today because I've been trying to find a sealer for the new concrete in between the bridle block.
In your guide theres no mention for sealing, on searching google etc i find tons of block sealers (Resiblock) etc.
I can also naturally find loads of concrete sealers, but none really mentioning oil spill resistance etc as most are really dealing with everything bar driveway concrete hardstanding applications.
Can you recommend a sealent/sealer, do you reccomend waiting 28days before application or get in on sooner?
I would also like to use 1 sealent to both seal the concrete and the brindle block as opposed to 2, 1 for block, 1 for concrete as theres no sand between the brindle as their laid by cement mortar.
If theres a common brand let us know if the usual merchants do it such as travis/builders cent etc as I have accounts with most of these being a electrical company.
Cheers guys
P.S. Maybe add the sealing factor to the hardstanding guide?
There are all sorts of different sealers: some are applied after just a few days; some after a month or so. Some are "oil-resistant", some are "oil-proof". Some are epoxy based, some are urethanes.
As an all-round sealant I'd suggest Covergard from Nufins and possibly the Resiblock, but I'm not 100% sure about Resiblock on c-i-s concrete. It's probably worth having a chat with the boffins at Nufins as they specialise in sealants for civils, which would include your concrete hardstanding.
