It was not affected by harsh chlorine water when applied to areas around pools and hot tubs.

Sealing pavers, concrete, and other types of hard surfaces can serve several purposes. Mainly, sealing can protect the surface from weather deterioration and secondly, it can enhance appearance. Surfaces can be sealed without altering the appearance, but some homeowners enjoy the enhanced look. It is personal preference but becoming an increasingly popular choice is a wet look sealer with no gloss.

A wet look sealer with no gloss appears just as the name suggests. The paver or concrete surface looks wet but yet there is no glossy shine to the surface. This look appeals to many people because it enhances the natural beauty of the substrate while adding weather protection.

Sealing Joint Sand From Erosion

Pavers are a great addition to any property. They are diverse in design and make for a durable surface. When pavers are installed correctly, they are laid on a compact bed of sand. Sand is also used to create joints between each paver. Joint sand is usually polymeric sand that consists mostly of fine sand and silica. This creates a binding agent that solidifies the sand particles together, which helps lock all the pavers together.
