FAQ

The key to applying paver sealer is that it should be done by a professional. For the best results, hire a pro or use an experienced contractor who knows how to apply sealant during construction because this will guarantee you get your desired result of a finished product with none of the uneven jerk look.

 

If you try paver sealer yourself, make sure do it in thin coats and work outwards from the center line outwards. This ensures even application rather than gobbing up big blobs in one spot on your driveway. Otherwise, follow all instructions with the recommended brand of sealant for proper coverage levels.

Clean your patio thoroughly prior to sealing. This will remove dirt and contaminants that could diminish the look of the paver patio or cause sealant to peel. If prepping with a pressure washer, scrub exterior walls and brick mortar joints too (or consider using a masonry cleaner on brick). Next, use a power broom to sweep clean debris from paving surfaces. Sweep side walks and porches too while you’re at it! Thoroughly rinse all surfaces to prevent streaking before applying sealant. You can do this by spraying down each section and then immediately wiping off with a damp washcloth. This method works great!

Yes, you should seal it. Driveways are subjected to harsh weather conditions and contain oils and other contaminants that can enter the pores of the cement. This compromises the strength of your driveway while also reducing its appearance because dirt will accumulate there instead of on top where you can sweep or hose it off to remove it.

 

Sealers provide an excellent vehicle for repelling these contaminants before they get into your pavement’s pores, extending its life significantly while maintaining its attractive appearance. Just follow the sealer’s instructions if applying yourself (usually found on their product page or at their website), but be sure to observe safety guidelines when using any power tools near treated surfaces – use protective eyewear and gloves, etc., during application. Here is some of the best cement and paver sealing products to use for your driveway or brick patio.

The lifespan of a sealer depends on a number of factors, including the type of sealer and where it is applied. In general, sealers will last between 3-5 years before needing to be reapplied, but this largely varies from situation to situation.

 

In order to get the best use out of your paver’s sealant you can ensure that you take preventative measures against ice dams from forming by running a water barrier or ‘ice control membrane’ down first before laying your bricks to do so. Afterward apply a latex pavement primer and contentious solution as indicated on instructions for your brand/style before proceeding with application according to instructions provided by manufacturer – doing so should provide you with an optimal sealant lifespan.

Answer: A good rule of thumb is to wait at least 4-7 days before going back onto a freshly sealed paving.

 

Why? It all depends on the type of sealer that was used and the traffic level on the paved area. A sealer can be sensitive to sunlight causing it to dry faster, a sealer may not be as durable under heavy usage as necessary, etc. In addition, different types of pavements have different intrinsic characteristics which factor into drying time. A patio or relatively flat surface would take about 7 days while a sloped ground could take double this amount of time because more water runoff will cause the sealing material’s adhesion properties to deteriorate faster.

The most important decision to make when sealing a brick patio is cleaning the surface you want to seal.

 

It’s recommended using soapy water and a wire brush, which will effectively remove any loose particles and give the pressure-washer something to remove dirt from between the stone. To be thorough, it’s best to clean that area about three times with fresh soap and water, then wait for it to dry before sealing.

 

It’s not recommended using any bleach products as they can corrode under layers of sealant. It might seem counterintuitive but only use cleaners that you’re okay with having on your deck for years! If you’re not sure what product works best on your deck, ask at your local hardware store or call a paver sealing contractor who does this work for a living.
