What is natural look sealant?

A natural look sealant protects your interlock without changing its appearance. It penetrates the paver surface to guard against stains, UV fading, oil spills, and moisture absorption, while keeping the original colour and texture of the stone. This is the preferred option if you want protection without a glossy or darkened finish. Our application process starts with a thorough cleaning and drying of the surface, followed by an even coat of a breathable, high-quality sealant. It dries clear and doesn't leave a film or sheen. We recommend reapplying every 3-5 years depending on traffic and exposure. Natural look sealant is ideal for driveways, walkways, patios, and pool decks where you want to preserve the original aesthetic while extending the life of the stone.

FAQ

Common questions about natural look sealant.

+Will natural look sealant change the color of my pavers?
No, that's the whole point of a natural look sealant. It soaks into the paver to provide protection from stains, moisture, and UV exposure without changing the colour or adding any sheen. Your pavers will look exactly the same as they did before, just better protected against the elements.
+How long does sealant last?
Most natural look sealants last between 3 and 5 years before they need reapplication. High-traffic areas like driveways may wear faster than a backyard patio that sees lighter use. Ottawa's winters with salt and freeze-thaw cycles can also affect longevity. We'll let you know when it's time to reapply based on your specific setup.
+Can sealant be applied to wet pavers?
No, the pavers need to be completely dry for the sealant to absorb and bond properly. If there's any moisture in the stone, the sealant won't adhere well and can turn cloudy or peel. That's why we schedule sealing jobs during dry weather and make sure there's been no rain for at least 24 hours beforehand.
+Will sealant prevent all stains?
Sealant makes your pavers much more resistant to stains by creating a barrier that prevents liquids from soaking in as quickly. That said, if something like oil or red wine sits on the surface for a long time, it can still leave a mark. The key benefit is that it buys you time to clean up spills before they become permanent.
+Do you clean before sealing?
Yes, thorough cleaning is a mandatory first step. If you seal over dirt, algae, or old stains, you're essentially locking that grime into the paver permanently. We pressure wash the entire surface and let it dry completely before applying any sealant. This prep work is what makes the difference between a sealant job that lasts and one that fails early.
+Can I walk on it right away?
You'll need to stay off the surface for at least 24 to 48 hours while the sealant cures, depending on the product we use and the weather conditions. We'll give you a clear timeline before we leave so you can plan around it. Vehicle traffic usually needs to wait a bit longer than foot traffic.
