What does sealing do for pavers?

Sealing is meant to protect pavers from the elements(i.e. rain, sun etc...) and anything foreign that were to fall on them. It creates an invisible barrier on top of the pavers that repels water, oil, and anything else you might accidentally drop on your driveway or pool deck, so long as you wash it clean as soon as you spot it. Sealing also preserves the pavers' natural beauty for years to come. Unfortunately, sealing does not prevent plants from coming up from your lawn or weeds from sprouting up due to seeds in the air. Other products may take care of that problem for you like a good ant killer sprayed in the yard, and a sand joint stabilizer, which is a more expensive product than the regular sealer.

Product Data/Application
Super Wet
(Two-Part, Water Based Pure Urethane Sealer)

DESCRIPTION: Super Wet is an ultra low VOC, two-part water based pure urethane sealer that penetrates the pavers to provide a protective barrier and a 'wet look', with superior joint stabilization.

ADVANTAGES:
  • One day process
  • Super Wet can be applied immediately after pressure washing and wet sanding
  • Pavers will not turn white from moisture
  • User friendly and environmentally safe
  • No toxic odor
  • Will not harm vegetation, inhibits weed growth and ant mines
  • Superior joint stabilization (no need for polymeric sand)
  • VOC compliant in all 50 states (‹ 50 GM/L)
  • UV Protection
NOTE: Super Wet appears white when initially applied, but dries crystal clear.

DRYING TIME: Our Super Wet sealer will normally dry in sunny areas within approximately 3 hours. Shaded areas, lower temperatures or high relative humidity will slow the drying process. The surface may be open to foot traffic in 4 hours and to vehicular traffic in 48 hours. To minimize tire marks, vehicles should not make sudden stops or tight turns.

MAINTENANCE: Periodic washing of pavers to keep area clean is recommended. Gasoline, hydraulic fluids and motor oil spills should be removed from the surface of the pavers. Surfaces previously sealed should be cleaned and resealed every 3 years, depending on environmental exposure and traffic.

When do my pavers need re-sanding?

Fine sand is the finishing touch of any paver job. It gets into the little spaces between the pavers and secures them, preventing them from moving or shifting. After pressure cleaning, sometimes sand is blasted out of place. Re-sanding is recommended where necessary. Most people think that the sand needs to come all the way to the surface. Sand is securing the pavers together and does not need to be seen to do its job. If spaces are unusually large between the pavers, they might be shifting due to damage to your edge restraints and you might be in need of some repairs.

Will sealing my pavers make them shine?

Sealing is made to protect the pavers and also to preserve their beauty. When a sealer is applied, it darkens the original colors. Some times you might get the pavers to really shine, but it depends on your pavers' colors. Darker colors tend to have a more noticeable sheen then lighter ones. Again this is a bonus that comes with sealing and not its main purpose.

How can you tell if you need to reseal your pavers?

A simple test can help you tell if you need sealing or not, but it's not the only one. Turn on your water hose and watch water bead up on the surface. If water is not beading, you might need a fresh coat of sealer.
