Caring for your pavers

Sealing pavers is always optional, but is highly recomended .  Not all sealers change the appearance or leave a sheen. Penetrating sealers are invisible and breathable, and do not detract from the original appearance. Penetrating sealers minimize the pore size of the products and thereby reduce the porosity of the pavers.  There are generally two main types of sealers; sealers for water ingress, and sealers for for oil as well as water ingress. The later tend to be more expensive but do help with greater stain resistance. It is important to remember that sealing only makes cleaning easier, it does not prevent staining
