Sealing your pavers doesn't have to be an expensive or time consuming project. In fact, most pavers can easily be sealed in less than an hour with a bottle of sealer and a garden sprayer! In this article we are going to show you how you can quickly and easily seal your outdoor pavers.

The easiest, and most cost effective, sealer to apply to pavers is a water repellent sealer, like the Armor SX5000 WB. Designed for unsealed pavers, it will penetrate into the pores and chemically react to form a hydrophobic barrier within the pores. It won't change the look or color of the pavers, and it won't leave a surface film. It protects the pavers by reducing water absorption by up to 95%. By reducing water absorption, damage and deterioration caused by water absorption is also reduced.

Why should I seal my pool deck? Water, salt, and chlorine can be very damaging to your concrete and pavers. They cause cracking, spalling, pitting, and staining. Hard rains, high winds, and even foot traffic will slowly eat away at the surface of your pool deck. If left unsealed, you will find your pool deck is harder to clean, harder to maintain, and will start to show signs of deterioration. There are many benefits to sealing your concrete or paver pool deck, including:

• Sealers can help to reduce damage, deterioration, and staining caused by water absorption and surface abrasion.
• Sealers can help to reduce the growth of mold and mildew and the surface, and make it easier to clean

Before choosing the best sealer, you need to evaluate what you currently have down. If your concrete is sealed, it may have an impact on what you can reseal your concrete with. Here are some of the most common types of concrete sealers, and what you can use to reseal them with:

• Concrete Densifier: Concrete densifiers work entirely below the surface. They won't leave a film or coating, and they don't offer any beading characteristics. For that reason, just about any sealer can be applied to concrete previously sealed with a concrete densifier so long as it has been at least

What is a wet look sealer? That is a great question, and unfortunatly the answer will vary from one manufacturer to the next.

If you like the look or your concrete or pavers after they have been wet with water, you will love how a wet look sealer transforms them!

Foundation Armor manufactures a few different wet look sealers:

• Armor AR350: The Armor AR350 will darken the color of the concrete and pavers, and enhance with a low gloss finish.

Sealing your pavers with a penetrating sealer will help to increase the life of your pavers by reducing damage and deterioration caused by water absorption. 

Penetrating sealers are great for protecting your pavers without enhancing them, but if you are looking to enhance your pavers, old or new, then what you really want is an acrylic sealer. Acrylic sealers are designed to enhance your pavers. While they do penetrate

Sealing your garage floor doesn't need to be an expensive or time consuming process, and it isn't rocket science. Most garage floor sealers can easily be applied with a roller or sprayer, and the garage floor can be sealed in as little as 30 minutes depending on the type of sealer used.

Concrete Densifier: Concrete densifiers are penetrating sealers that won't change the look or color of the garage floor. They chemically react in the pores to form a hardened crystalline barrier that increases the strength and density of the floor. They will help to strengthen deteriorating concrete, and reduce concrete dusting and water seepage.
