Customer Reviews
The broom made a very easy job of applying the sealer. The ability to be able to use it again and again is absolutely marvellous.
As I was only sealing quite a small area I found the brush soaked up too much of the sealant, I only had a 5 litre can, so I used a 4" paint brush instead. On a larger project the brush would be ideal.
Fits in the drum perfectly , removed the loose bristles before use , did the job perfectly.
Did the job!
Does the job but a lot of hairs came out
Using the broom gives lots of control in applying the sealant. As the application is a twenty year old imprinted concrete drive it let me control the density in areas of differing original colour.
Perfect for fitting in sealer container and spreads well
Does the job, great delivery with no problem
Hairs coming out in clumps. Had problem with broom but Smart Seal were excellent in response,with instant refund.
The best solution for sealing a concrete imprint drive
A perfect fit for the tin of sealant. Tended to lose bristles at first and then it was fine. Would recommend this product to everyone.
Did the job, however it did lose some bristles during aplication of sealer.
Good sturdy product, job done
Bristles stay in quite well, but handle had to be altered to make it fit.
excellent
Very good at applying the sealant evenly over the drive. I should have taken a bit longer to get loose bristles out before starting though as some did find their way onto the drive.Will keep for next application in a few years.
Fits perfectly into drum good product
Perfect for the job, inexpensive but of good quality and will last for a few more treatments yet!
Fine easy to use and to spread the seal
Very useful, I know I could have purchased it elsewhere but to buy everything together was more convenient for me.tyvm.
Made the job easy, perfect
Used with the sealant.Even came back soft after waiting for the first coat to dry.
The sealing broom is a handy little tool,especially if you have a cobbled pattern concrete,for rubbing sealer into the grooves.
Excellent company to deal with, product does what is says on the tin !
Did the job very well. I would be interested to know if a roller would be better?. Our drive is pattern imprinted concrete.
Great Broom ideal for applying sealant 5 stars
Ideal brush for the job this is my 2nd brush the 1st one I made the mistake storing it with the bristles resting on the floor causing the bristles to flatten after use so now storing with the bristles off the ground and it worked perfectly the 2nd coat still as good as new
Good size and made the application muck quicker than expected. Only fault was bristles coming loose!
So glad I invested in this broom. It really made the application so much easier. The bristles are so soft enabling a smooth and even coverage.
Worth the small cost to make the job easy.
Does the job although a bit of a shame to throw away at the end of application (I didn't buy any cleaner). Had to put a screw in the head to keep handle on as a scrubbing motion is required rather than sweepIng
I have used these before and they did a cracking job so although I haven't started the drives yet, I know they will be great.
Very useful, perfect for the job and fits the tin perfectly
Great size for the tin. Good value.
Used a roller previously. Much prefer the room.
top quality service from Nigel, quotation right through to application. The product is simple to apply and has provided a finished product exactly as Nigel suggested it would. I didn't think the drive would look so good after 10 years plus with zero maintenance and all the original colour worn from some areas. Best advice is make sure you pull all loose bristles from broom before use and do not apply in direct sunlight it will blister.
Works really well with sealer.
Need to work broom on concrete prior to use to remove loose bristles. Found it covered area very quickly. Only issue need to go over area with brush to remove excess sealer in certain areas.
Brilliant for the job, fits in the tin. Removed all loose bristles before use, only a few came out while using but easy to pick up.
Delivered within a day. My only criticism would be the number of bristles which came out when using the brush, which I found to be a real nuisance.
Pleased that we purchased this broom as it made applying the sealant very easy and the job was completed in no time.
As others say, need quite a lot of shaking to remove initial loose bristles. Is really only a stiff yardbrush witha short head to fit in the bucket. Could have used my old one if I had cut it down - but the dried sealant on the brush would have rendered it useless for normal use so would have had to buy a replacement anyway.
Certainly well wrapped for delivery, it took ages to get the packaging off! The handle was too large for the brush head and didn't fit, but luckily I had a spare handle in my shed that fitted. Initial bristle loss, but after that, it worked well and did the job.
excellent product did a good job!
Spend time removing the loose bristles prior to use. Fits drum and makes applying the sealant very easy leaving a nice finish.
Loose bristles were a minor irritation, and I did leave some puddles, but I used a very coarse roller for last two coats which worked well.
Strong and robust. Makes the application of the sealer quick and easy. Watch for any loose bristles. A great finish to the sealer.
Same as person before few Brussels off but did the job
Ideal for the job, no problems
After an initial shedding of a few bristles it worked just fine. Just the job. The only problem I had was removing the shrink wrap packaging!
Reasonable product but does have a tendancy to looseits bristles easily which remain embedded in the sealer
Fitted in the barrel perfectly. Just remember to get of the loose bristles. Perfect for the job
Loose bristles at first, but when worn in did good job.
Made sealing drive much easier and speedier but ensure loose fibres are removed first though even then had the odd one on the sealer but most brushes suffer from this.
A good way of applying the sealant but be vigilant with getting rid of loose bristles carefully before you start. Advice which is reflected in most comments already. Results were very good.
The broom has made the application of Smartseal faultless
Broom was just right size to fit in sealant drum. Get shot of the loose hairs first then perfect job
Excellent product and fast delivery
Did the job Suggest "FinerHair" Might bean improvement?
5 i should have read the reviews before using the brush and got rid of any loose bristles. Other than that it did the job well enough.
excellent broom for applying sealers strong and robust
Easy to use... you must check it for any loose bristles before using it. Very please with the finish.
Light and easy to use, make sure loose bristles are removed before usage.
the sealing broom worked a treat.
It's a Broom what can I say it put the sealer on just fine, watch you dont put to much on and scrub to hard as it will leave bubbles, second coat sorted that out though.
I know a broom is a broom, but make sure you do as instructed if using to put on your sealer, get all the loose bristles off before you start. Did a great job with this product.
Description
Imprinted Concrete Sealing Broom for Driveways and Patios 10" soft broom for sealing pattern imprinted concrete (supplied with handle). Allows application of sealer directly from drum. Prior to use pull on broom hairs and work over hard surface to remove any loose ones. Can be re-used at anytime in future, allow to dry naturally, broom hairs will harden once dry. Prior to re-use submerge in sealer for 10 minutes, hairs will soften, allowing re-usage.
*See technical section below for full instructions and tips prior to use.
Technical
Once purchased, you will only require one sealing broom, but 1st time it is used, often like any natural hair broom, it will shed hair.
Application by plastic hair broom or roller is not advised, use of roller will tend to leave excess sealer in the joints, which can create problems.
Please follow instructions below prior to use.
1. Prior to using rub broom head on abrasive surface and pull out loose hairs.
2. During use, if you are using Colour Tint or Anti Slip Additive, stir reguarly and let broom 'hit' bottom of drum, to keep additives suspended.
3. After use, do not attempt to clean broom, just leave to dry.
4. When you are ready to use broom again, whether it is 1 day, 3 months or 5 years, just leave immersed in sealer for 5 minutes, it will soften up again and be ready for use.
It is that simple, the broom works great for applying imprinted concrete sealer, enabling you to use the product sparingly and not leaving any excess in the joints.
In summary, your sealing broom will literally last forever, you just need to get rid of any loose hairs, prior to use. If a few hairs still get stuck in the surface, do not worry, they will soon be released as the initial 'tackiness' of the sealer diminishes.
I purchased this product on the basis that is for use for applying the sealer. This product is terrible and not fit for purpose. It has shed its bristles as it was used for applying the sealer.SMARTSEAL RESPONSE- We apologised to our customer, we believe the broom was faulty,we refunded him in full and are looking to solve this issue with our supplier.
