Sealing pavers protects their porous surface from water, stains (like oil, food, sunscreen), and UV damage, making them easier to clean and maintain while preventing weed/moss growth by locking in joint sand. It enhances durability, resists freeze-thaw damage in cold climates, and can deepen color for a “wet look,” but requires periodic reapplication every few years and can alter the natural finish.
Stain Resistance:
Creates a barrier against oil, food, drinks, and dirt, making cleanup much easier.
Color Enhancement:
Can bring out richer, deeper colors, often called a “wet look,” or simply protect against fading from sun exposure.
Weed & Moss Control:
Locks down joint sand (polymeric sand), preventing windblown seeds from germinating and inhibiting organic growth.
Durability:
Protects porous concrete and stone from water penetration, which can cause cracking in freeze-thaw cycles.
Easier Maintenance:
Repels water and contaminants, simplifying sweeping, washing, and pressure washing.
