Pavers
No, sealing is just an option. But sealing the pavers does have some
advantages. Sealing your pavers will:
-
Make clean up of oil, food, or vegetation stains easier.
- Help stabilize the
joint sand from being washed out by rains or heavy cleanings.
- Help prevent
efflorescence from occurring or recurring.
- Help prevent vegetation growth.
- Darken
and brighten the color pigments in your pavers.
Sealing your pavers can take place immediately upon completion of installation
or at anytime in the future provided the pavers are clean and weather
permitting. The area to be sealed should be cleaned and allowed to thoroughly
dry (approximately 3 - 5 days of warm weather) before the application of the
sealer can take place. Although pavers may appear dry on the surface, it is
very important to wait the prescribed drying time before the application of the
sealer.
Calstone recommends 1 - 2 coats of Aldon Penetrating Paver Sealer. This is a
solvent based sealer and will outlast and out perform most water based sealers
on the market.
