The Brisbane Paver Sealing Service You Need
Protek Paver Sealing Brisbane is here with the best paver sealing service you will ever experience.
Deciding when to seal pavers depends on several factors, including the type of sealant being used, the age of the pavers, and the prevailing weather conditions. For new pavers, it’s recommended to let them cure for a while before sealing. You should ideally wait for 30 days to prevent moisture from being trapped under the protective barrier.
Proper preparation is key when sealing pavers. To ensure a long-lasting application of sealant, it is important to properly prepare both the pavers and the working area. Because of this, you need to ensure to get your pavers cleaned by Protek. This not only removes any dirt but also opens the pores on the surface allowing for better absorption of the sealant.
Additionally, any existing stains should be treated with stain removers tailored to each type of stain. Once cleaned it’s important to let the pavers dry completely before applying the sealant. The drying time will vary depending on your climate conditions.
The frequency of re-application is another key consideration. As a rule of thumb, paver sealer should be reapplied every 3-5 years. Signs of wear on the physical barrier for film-forming sealants or a significant colour change of pavers during rain for non-film-forming sealants can be indicators that it’s time for another clean and seal.
Why Seal Pavers?
Sealing pavers helps maintain their appeal, over the long term by preserving their colour and preventing fading. Since unsealed pavers could easily absorb stains, which can negatively impact their appearance. By applying a sealant, you create a barrier that can aid in the prevention of staining.
When To Get Pavers Sealed?
Before sealing your pavers it’s important to understand that this process can protect them from damage and extend their lifespan. The choice between film forming or non-film forming sealants depends on the desired finish and level of protection you prefer. Regardless of which option you choose it’s crucial to reapply the sealant every 3 to 5 years to maintain its effectiveness. We always use a penetrating sealer, so there will be minimum visibility when the sealers applied.
Now, pavers need to be deep cleaned to remove as much dirt, stains, and marks as possible. Allowing the pavers to dry completely after this cleaning and preparation stage is important. This could take only a few hours in warmer climates, but in cooler or shady areas, a safer bet would be to wait for roughly 24 hours. The paver sealant should be applied in moderate weather to ensure that rain wont affect the finish and that heat wont dry it too quickly.
