Pavers are manufactured to be durable. Therefore, the use of a protective sealant is optional and a matter of personal preference.

A sealant will make stain removal easier, might minimize weed germination in the joint sand and can enhance colors. Sealers, however, are topically applied product and must be reapplied every 2 to 3 years.

Sealing pavers may make pavement slippery when wet. Before sealing, the installation must be thoroughly cleaned and completely dry.
