Frequently Asked Questions
What is PaveWave™ and how does it differ from Portico™?
What is PaveWave™ and how does it differ from Portico™?
PaveWave™ is a water-based paver stain designed for coloring concrete pavers and outdoor concrete surfaces. While Portico™ is a solvent-based paver stain, PaveWave™ offers a water-based, low-VOC alternative with minimal odor. Both products use pigments that nest into the pores of the concrete surface and require sealing to hold the color in place.
Where can I apply PaveWave™?
Where can I apply PaveWave™?
PaveWave™ is designed for outdoor concrete surfaces including pavers, walkways, patios, driveways, and pool decks. It works well on porous and textured surfaces. As with all water-based products, the concrete must be clean, dry, and have adequate porosity for proper absorption.
Do I need to seal PaveWave™ after application?
Do I need to seal PaveWave™ after application?
Yes, sealing is required to preserve the pigment and protect the color from weather and foot traffic. Allow PaveWave™ to dry completely, then apply two thin coats of either AcquaSeal™ (water-based) or EasySeal™ (solvent-based) sealer. For outdoor surfaces, EasySeal™ is generally recommended for superior weather resistance.
What is the coverage rate for PaveWave™?
What is the coverage rate for PaveWave™?
The coverage rate is approximately 200 square feet per gallon for two coats. Coverage may vary depending on the porosity, texture, and condition of your concrete surface. Highly porous or textured pavers may require more product. We recommend rounding up on supply needs to ensure you have enough for your full project.
How do I apply PaveWave™?
How do I apply PaveWave™?
Apply PaveWave™ using a pump-up sprayer with the filter removed. Removing the filter is essential – if left in, the filter will trap the pigments and only the clear liquid will be sprayed. For smaller areas or detail work, a sponge or foam brush can also be used. Apply two coats for even coverage and allow adequate drying time between coats.
