Concrete paver sealer

Trade jargonOhio homeowner glossaryCC-BY-4.0

TL;DR

Concrete paver sealer is a penetrating or film-forming coating applied to interlocking paver patios and driveways to resist stains, deepen or enhance color, and in joint-stabilizing formulas, harden the polymeric sand between units. Film-forming acrylics give the popular wet look but need recoating every two to four years and can turn hazy if applied over trapped moisture; penetrating silane-siloxane products look natural and last longer.

Definition

What it means

Concrete paver sealer is a penetrating or film-forming coating applied to interlocking paver patios and driveways to resist stains, deepen or enhance color, and in joint-stabilizing formulas, harden the polymeric sand between units. Film-forming acrylics give the popular wet look but need recoating every two to four years and can turn hazy if applied over trapped moisture; penetrating silane-siloxane products look natural and last longer. Application belongs at least 30 to 60 days after installation so efflorescence can escape first.
