Sealing pavers is a great way to reduce water penetration and prevent the effects of efflorescence. It's also a common question whether sealing pavers makes them slippery, but the truth is that any wet surface can be slippery. The advantage of sealed pavers is that they dry faster, reducing the time they stay wet. Moss is a major factor in making pavers slippery, more so than the sealant.
Sealing pavers helps prevent moss formation. The sealing process is often overlooked by people who install paving stones, which is a mistake if you want to keep them looking new for longer. JSBrick has over 20 years of experience providing paving stone installation, cleaning and sealing services in Sarasota and surrounding cities. In general, sealing pavers has many benefits: sealed bricks are more resistant to oil and dirt; they inhibit the growth of weeds, moss and mold; they resist UV rays and help prevent insect intrusion.
We offer the Wet Look finish, which will improve the color of the pavers and provide a subtle sheen, not a very high-gloss paving stone seal. After installation or maintenance, you may be wondering how long you should stay away from pavers after sealing. In addition, since water cannot soak up the aggregated base material on which pavers float, there is no longer an environment in which mold can grow, keeping brick paver surfaces free of weeds. In the end, sealing brick pavers rejuvenates, strengthens, protects and enhances the beauty of brick pavers.
This prevents the brick paver surfaces in your home from having to cost-effectively repair brick pavers when re-leveling.
