Sealing an outdoor walkway or patio will help you to protect
your investment. Sealing your pavers is important because it maintains the
colors and appearance of your pavers and prevents it from getting stains from
forming. By sealing them on a regular basis, you can preserve their appearance
and longevity. Paver Sealing in Perth
has a great benefit that it doesn’t have harsh UV rays; direct sun exposure
breaks sown coatings. Perth rain can also gradually wear down beautiful
concrete and stone surface.
Before diving straight into the process, you’ll have to have
a Pre-sealing to-do list
1. See what your
manufacturer has to say
Before going to a local hardware store, take time to review
the paver manufacturer’s specifications for sealing. This will give you an
insight view on the types of sealing products which are safe to use on your
paver and also know the appropriate waiting period before applying sealer to
new pavers.
2. Check the weather
In many cases, a sealer should only be applied to pavers
that are completely dry. So have a rain check for 24 hours before starting your
project. You also don’t want to perform a sealing job at extreme temperature.
You also don’t want any rain after sealing, it’s always necessary to have a
rain check before sealing.
3. Clean
Actually, it’s so important in printing special “reminder to
clean” labels for all our sealing products, not only you want to clean stains
from pavers prior to sealing, but also you want to take care for your
efflorescence. The cleaning step prepares the pavers to allow the sealer to
bond properly. It is also important to clean stains from the pavers prior to
sealing.
4. Remove contaminated sand
If you want to tackle the process of sealing, then don’t
take any shortcuts. Make sure to remove any contaminated sand from the joints
and replace it with polymeric sand. If you are going to replace sand, the
efflorescence of cleaning should be done after you replace polymeric sand and
before you seal.
