Sealing pavers is the very best way to protect your investment!
When it comes to the outdoor areas on your property, you may have paver stones installed on features such as driveways, walkways, pathways, etc. These paving stones are incredibly hardy and resilient and can last for many years with basic maintenance. However, the areas are constantly exposed to climatic changes as well as the sun’s rays.
Pavers are considered extremely durable, but many homeowners underestimate their impermeability. Many people who choose not to seal their pavers regret their decision. Make sure you don’t make the same mistake.
Over time, they can develop scratches, stains, moss, and mildew. Sometimes, outdoor conditions can also result in fading of the paver surfaces. Not only does this mar the appearance of your landscaping, but moss and mildew-covered pavers can be unsafe to walk on as well.
Sealing your pavers is the very best way to protect the investment you’ve made in your walks, patios, driveways, pool decks, retaining walls, and other hardscapes. Since they are exposed to the elements especially here in Florida, pavers require protection and regular maintenance to keep the pavers looking beautiful for many years. Our professional-grade sealers create a protective finish that will restore the original depth of color, repel stains and deter surface deterioration. Just as you clean and polish your car periodically, your pavers and retaining wall blocks need the same care to keep them looking great.
Benefits of Sealing Pavers
1. Inhibits weeds and grass in joints.
2. Reduces mold and mildew and moss growth.
3. Deters ants and other insects,
Crawling creatures represent a threat to flooring structural integrity, especially ants. Known for building their nests in paver joints, eventually, those insects can destabilize the flooring, promoting cracks and unevenness.
Sealing pavers is an excellent way to prevent an ant infestation. Because let’s be honest, no matter where you live, you’ll always find insects in your yard. But to understand how sealing prevents ants, we have to understand what it does in the first place.
The sealer works by solidifying sand joints and locking pavers together. Also, the substance forms a protective layer over the surface. Depending on the sealer type you use, you can see a physical barrier building over the flooring. As a result, ants will find it difficult to dig and build their nests and will look for another place, prone to easy work.
4. Prevents loss of sand in joints.
5. Helps repel oil, grease, grime, and stains.
6. Easy maintenance.
Although sealing paver patio, driveway and sidewalks aren’t always required, there are a few negative consequences if you don’t. The most common problems you will encounter include the need to have the areas cleaned professionally more frequently to remove dirt and grime build-up.
Sealed pavers are easier to maintain simply because the surface doesn’t absorb things like oils or stains. The sealed surface makes it easier for you to clean any dust or debris.
7. Enhances color, texture and brightness.
Paver sealers create a protective finish that restores the depth of colors and deters surface deterioration.
The UV rays brought by sun exposure will often make your pavers start fading and tear, especially in areas that experience hot weather conditions. Sealing brick pavers will guarantee you protection from sun rays and be able to prevent fading by creating a protective finish that restores the depth of colors and deters surface deterioration while enhancing natural texture and appearance.
8. Resists the effects of harsh weather conditions.
Sealing the pavers can protect the surface of the stones from stains, scratches, and water damage. Plus, a sealer can create an aesthetic appeal on the stones as sealers can offer various finishes such as flat finish, matte, low gloss, high gloss, and low sheen.
Whether it is penetrating water base sealer or acrylic sealer, paver sealer is formulated to make the surface of the pavers more stain resistant and protect the material from extreme weather and wear and tear.
9. Provides protection from salt damage.
10. Reduces surface deterioration and wear.
11. Prevents pavers from shifting.
12. Assures long-lasting beauty and value.
Sealing your pavers increases the lifespan of your pavement by limiting the growth of weeds and fungi, reducing sand loss on paver joints, preventing cracks that make it wear and tear, and enhancing your brick color by increasing its appearance and damage from oil spills and debris.
If you want your pavers to look as good as the day you got them, add a protective sealant layer every three to five years. You’ll love the results!
