Extended lifespan
When dirt, grime and pool water get into your unsealed tiles, it can cause permanent staining. This is because pavers are largely porous and will suck everything up like a sponge. On the plus side, the paver will also suck up the sealant, meaning nothing else can get in there. The result? Less damage from dirt and grime, meaning they will last longer!
Efflorescence prevention
Efflorescence happens when salt rises through porous materials (such as pavers) and forms a coating on the surface. It comes up through the paver with rising water, and when the water evaporates, the salt gets left behind, leaving a stain. This can affect small or large areas and can permanently affect the appearance of your paving.
Pest deterrent
Sealing your paving not only makes it look great but also stops pesky ants and other little critters from popping up through the cracks, as it fills in all the nooks and crannies that pests love to sneak through.
Sun protection
Sealing your pavers is like applying a long-lasting sunscreen. This little bit of extra care means your pavers will look newer for longer and stand up better against the elements. It’s a simple step that makes a big difference in keeping your outdoor space looking tip-top.
Easy cleaning
Although your pavers are sealed, you're not completely off the hook with cleaning. You should still sweep your outdoor areas and give your patio a quick wash with soap and water to prevent dirt build up and keep them looking pristine.
