If your pavers are currently unsealed, and you want to seal them with something that won't leave a visible surface film or coating, then you need a penetrating sealer. Foundation Armor manufactures three types of penetrating sealers for pavers:
- Armor SX5000 WB - Water-based Silane-Siloxane water repellent that works entirely below the surface and won't change the look or color of the pavers.
- Armor SX5000 - Solvent-based Silane-Siloxane water repellent that works entirely below the surface and won't change the look or color of the pavers.
- Armor WL550 - Solvent-based water repellent sealer that works entirely below the surface. It will slightly darken the natural coloring of the pavers to bring out dull and faded coloring.
Penetrating sealers reduce the absorption of water and therefor reducing damage and deterioration caused by water absorption. Pavers sealed with a water repellent sealer are more resistant to the damaging effects of water absorption such as mold growth, freeze thaw damage, and cracking and spalling. They are easy to apply and can last for years before the need for a recoat.
