How-to Preserve Your Interlock Pavers With Sealing

Let’s face the fact that anything outdoors left to be exposed to the elements should have some type of protection. This is especially true of materials like interlock pavers because they are also subjected to wear and tear from foot and vehicular traffic.

So, this is where interlock sealing comes into the picture. If you are curious about what some of the benefits are of protecting your interlock surface with this, here are some points to ponder:

• – Sealing interlocking pavers helps in a number of ways, including helping to prevent the development and growth of weeds or grass at the joints. Ignoring the need to deter this could lead to growth that will knock your interlock pieces out of place or cause them to be uneven, which can result in someone tripping and falling.
• – Getting this surface sealed means being able to prevent stains from showing up. Without a seal, your interlock system is made up of porous pieces. Adding sealant makes it non-porous and that means substances like oil or grease won’t penetrate the surface and stain it. Obviously, a sealed surface is easier to clean, as well.
• – If you want to keep your interlocks looking their very best, make it a point to get them sealed. This will protect the color and help keep each piece looking as good as new. Even with exposure to the elements, de-icing salt, and foot traffic, this will help with color, brightness and texture.

Keep in mind, the sooner your seal this surface following installation, the more likely you are to avoid the need for interlock repairs. To find out more or schedule interlock sealing, give Rescue and Seal a call.
