What does paver sealer do?

The seal creates an invisible layer on top of the pavers that repels water, oil and anything else you might accidentally drop, as long as you wash them as soon as you notice it. When you apply a sealant to pavers, it gives them a clean, damp appearance with a glossy finish, depending on the finish of the sealant you use. It will not alter the color of the paving stone, but will highlight the tone of the material and improve the color of the pavers. In addition, the color will continue to look new because sealants provide protection against UV rays that can cause discoloration.

It's hard to make an informed decision when you don't really know why to seal pavers in the first place. But now that you know the pros and cons of sealing your pavers, you can decide whether or not you want the benefit of that extra protection on your pavers.

The first is when they have just installed pavers for the first time and their contractor tells them that they should also seal them.
