WHAT IS THE BEST PATIO SEALER FOR MY PAVERS?
Natural, Unsealed Look
Natural, Unsealed Look
If your pavers are currently unsealed and you want to maintain the natural, unsealed look of the pavers, you want a Silane-Siloxane water-repellent sealer like the Armor SX5000 or Armor SX5000 WB. These water-repellent sealers are designed to chemically react below the surface to reduce the absorption of water and liquids on the surface by up to 95%. Pavers sealed with a water-repellent sealer are more resistant to damage and deterioration caused by water, freeze-thaw cycles, and de-icing salts.
The Armor SX5000 and Armor SX5000 WB are both water-repellent sealers. The primary difference is that the Armor SX50000 WB is water-based and the Armor SX5000 is solvent-based. While most customers prefer the Armor SX5000 WB simply because water-based sealers are easier to apply. The Armor SX5000 is a great choice for customers that prefer working with solvent-based sealers.
Matte Wet Look

If your pavers are currently unsealed and you want a subtle color enhancement without any gloss, the Armor WL550 is a great option. The Armor WL550 is a water repellent sealer that chemically reacts below the surface to reduce the absorption of water and liquids on the surface by up to 95%. Pavers sealed with a water-repellent sealer are more resistant to damage and deterioration caused by water, freeze-thaw cycles, and de-icing salts.
Low to High Gloss - Dramatic Color Enhancement
Low to High Gloss - Dramatic Color Enhancement
If you want a low to high gloss finish, and you want a dramatic color enhancement, then you want a solvent-based acrylic sealer. Solvent-based acrylic sealers can be applied to unsealed pavers, and pavers previously sealed with a solvent-based acrylic sealer.
Solvent-based acrylic sealers are designed to darken the color of the pavers to give them a similar appearance of being wet and leave behind a protective gloss finish. Acrylic sealers offer the ultimate protection for pavers against water, snow and ice, freeze-thaw damage, surface abrasion, and foot and vehicle traffic.
If you want a low gloss finish, you want the Armor AR350. If you want a high gloss finish, you want the Armor AR500.
It is important to note that due to the porosity of pavers, gloss level will be reduced. In order to achieve a high gloss finish, additional coats may be required. It is important to understand that some overly porous and high texture pavers may never be able to achieve a super high gloss finish. The best way to determine this is to apply the product to a sample area first. This will help to determine coverage, required coats, and actual look once sealed. We suggest using the 350 VOC on pavers because the solvent will release faster, helping to keep more material closer to the surface.
Low to High Gloss - Minimal Color Enhancement
Low to High Gloss - Minimal Color Enhancement
If you want a low to high gloss finish, and you want little to no color enhancement, then you want a water-based acrylic sealer. Water-based acrylic sealers can be applied to unsealed pavers, and pavers previously sealed with a water-based acrylic sealer.
Water-based acrylic sealers are designed for little to no color enhancement and leave behind a protective gloss finish. Acrylic sealers offer the ultimate protection for pavers against water, snow and ice, freeze-thaw damage, surface abrasion, and foot and vehicle traffic.
If you want a low gloss finish, you want the Armor WB15. If you want a high gloss finish, you want the Armor WB25.
It is important to note that due to the porosity of pavers, gloss level will be reduced. In order to achieve a high gloss finish, additional coats may be required.
