Pavers in a commercial setting serve the same purposes that pavers in a residential setting do. They add a touch of elegance, and they are durable and useful. Well-maintained pavers are attractive to both customers and potential customers. Worn, dirty or dingy pavers will make any business premises look grubby and unappealing. It’s good business to make sure they look good.
Commercial pavers experience much more use by pedestrians and vehicles. These pavers are much more likely than residential pavers to experience wear and tear. They are also subject to potential staining from vehicle exhaust, oil and other agents. Commercial pavers are also more likely to be in a heavily used area, and subject to the typical range of urban grime and debris.
Sealed paver areas accomplish several things. Sealants retard staining and sealed pavers are more easily kept clean.
Sealed pavers keep their original colors better. The part of pavers most vulnerable to wear is the space between them, the joints. These may be affected by rain runoff and other factors, which can degrade the polymerized sand that holds the pavers in place. Sealed pavers prevent this degradation, resulting in a longer life span for your pavers. Well-maintained, your pavers can last for years.
How long a sealant coat lasts varies with the kind of pavers and the quality of the sealant. Professionally done with quality products, a sealant may last two years, even longer. Heavier vehicular or pedestrian traffic may wear down a sealant more quickly.
Inspect your pavers regularly. If you see chipping, discoloration, or even some sagging areas, it’s time call in paver professionals. The pavers should be thoroughly cleaned, re-sanded and then resealed.
