Sealing Your Paver Stone Patio or Pool Deck to Protect Your Investment
On the Gulf Coast, our lanais, patios and pool decks are an extension of our homes and lives. In order to maximize the beauty and functionality of these areas, as well as driveways and walkways, many have chosen to upgrade their concrete or asphalt surfaces to paver stones. When maintained properly, pavers will add aesthetic appeal and value to your home for many years to come.
Durable pavers allow for creativity and artistry while reducing the risk of cracks which are prevalent with traditional concrete surfaces but do require maintenance to keep them looking as beautiful as when they were installed.
How Often Should Pavers Be Resealed?
Sealing your pavers every 2 to 3 years is a smart and easy solution that will protect your investment, increase longevity of the stones and maintain the beauty of your patio, pool deck or driveway.
How Does Sealing Your Pavers Protect Them?
- Sealing creates a barrier resistant to stains, oil, dirt, soil from plants, or any spilled material.
- Sealing protects the pavers from too quickly fading under intense Florida sunlight & UV rays.
- Sealing helps resist natural deterioration of the stone which can result from salt, chlorine, and severe weather, such as wind and rain.
What is Involved in Sealing A Paver Surface?
The actual process of sealing a surface is a quick one, generally taking only one day in favorable weather. The sealant is sprayed on and dries quickly – you can usually drive on your driveway or invite friends for a pool party only 24 hours after application.
Which Sealant Should I Choose?
We recommend matte or low-sheen sealants which enhance the natural color of your pavers, without altering the aesthetic effect you originally selected. These sealants are long lasting, breathable, non-yellowing, and low VOC. You can be confident that you are making a responsible choice for your home.
Can't You Just Clean Pavers Periodically?
While you can clean some staining on your paver stones with traditional detergents, there may be some reasons to rethink that strategy. These factors may conspire to make your pavers a source of frustration instead of enjoyment.
- More stubborn stains may require additional time and effort than you care to invest.
- You may find yourself fighting a constant battle to keep up with new stains.
- Regular cleaning will not do anything to help prevent fading; in fact, it may accelerate it.
