Using Paver Sealer on Landscape Brick Pavers
Paver sealer is very similar to concrete sealer. It provides the same type of protection against water and sun and will increase the life expectancy of any type of landscape brick paver. Paver sealer can be applied to bricks to help lock them into place by solidifying the joints. These days there are many types of brick pavers available. Sizes, textures, shapes, and colors can be combined to create a very unique design. Swirl or circular patterns are very common as well as inserting different color of bricks strategically to create a one of a kind design. Brick paver designs can be as simple or as complex as you want. They can be used for patios, pool decks, walkways, and even driveways. Once they are placed properly on a solid foundation, they can last for many years. This is where the paver sealer can help. The sealer will create a protective shield against the sun and moisture so the pavers do not fade or absorb moisture. When unprotected brick pavers absorb moisture they slightly swell which can, over time, cause damage showing up as cracks and breaks. Locking out moisture also reduces any mold and mildew problems and well as unwanted weeds growing up between the pavers. Older bricks can be cleaned and re-jointed with new sand and then restored with a paver sealer giving them a fresh new look. Paver sealers giving a glossy wet look can be very attractive and can definitely add to your home’s curb appeal.
