Why It’s Important to Seal Concrete Pavers
Josh Vick • 18 March 2020
As the trusted paving supply store
in the area, we are often asked by customers whether they actually need to seal their concrete pavers after installation. Sealing your pavers enhances their appearance and protects them from the daily abuse they receive from different external factors.
Benefits of Sealing Your Pavers
Sealing your concrete pavers ensures that your investment is protected for years. The last thing you want is for your new pool pavers
to be stained with spilt drinks, BBQ grease or any other remnants from your pool party. Sealing the pavers allows you to clean them with ease and maintain their top condition for years to come. Plus, it can reduce the likelihood of weed and moss growing on its surface. Some sealants are designed to protect pavers from the harsh elements such as the rain, snow and the sun’s harmful UV rays. Sealing your pavers also enhances their vibrance and beauty, boosting your home’s curb appeal.
How to Choose a Sealer
With the wide selection of sealing products on the market, it’s important to choose the right one for your pavers. Film forming sealers seal concrete pavements while providing a water repelling layer that doesn’t alter the colour or appearance of the paver itself.
Meanwhile, wet look sealers, or non-film forming sealants, change the colour of the pavement, making it look wet. This can enhance the original colour, but if you are not a fan of a glossy finish, penetrating sealers are more suited for you. ce.
