You’ve just had beautiful new brick pavers installed—your driveway, patio, or pool deck has never looked better. The clean lines, vibrant color, and flawless texture instantly enhance your property’s curb appeal. But as perfect as your new pavers might appear now, they’re already at risk from Florida’s harsh climate and environmental conditions.
That’s why one of the smartest things you can do after a new paver installation is to have the surface professionally sealed.
At Premier Coatings, we help homeowners across Central Florida protect their investment with expert brick paver sealing tailored to the state’s demanding weather. If your pavers are less than a year old—or freshly installed—here’s why sealing them sooner rather than later is absolutely essential.
New Pavers Are Vulnerable from Day One
New pavers might look strong and durable, but they are also highly porous and exposed. Florida’s intense UV rays, frequent rain, and humidity immediately start breaking down the surface if it’s left untreated.
Without sealing, pavers absorb moisture, attract stains, and lose color faster than you might expect. Dirt, algae, oil, and rust begin to settle into the surface. Weed seeds find their way between the bricks. The result? A beautiful new surface that begins to show signs of aging in just a few months.
Professional sealing gives your pavers the barrier they need to resist these issues right from the start.
The Florida Climate Accelerates Wear
Florida’s climate poses unique challenges to outdoor surfaces. Constant sun exposure fades color pigments. Heavy rains and tropical storms wash away joint sand and flood surfaces. Humidity encourages mold, mildew, and algae—especially in shaded or wet areas.
These conditions can wear down your pavers faster than in other parts of the country. That’s why sealing is not just a cosmetic upgrade—it’s a functional, weather-resistant solution that helps your surface last longer and look better.
We use commercial-grade sealers specifically formulated to withstand Florida’s environment. They protect against UV rays, moisture, and organic growth, while also enhancing the color and finish of the pavers.
Sealing Preserves Color and Appearance
One of the biggest concerns for new paver owners is fading. That rich tone you loved during installation can quickly turn dull and lifeless if the surface isn’t sealed. This is especially noticeable with red, tan, and multicolor pavers commonly used in Florida homes.
Sealing prevents premature fading by adding a UV-protective layer that locks in the color. It also gives you control over the final appearance—you can opt for a natural matte, wet look, or high-gloss finish depending on your design preferences.
In addition to protecting color, sealing enhances texture, makes the surface easier to clean, and gives your pavers a more finished, uniform look.
Joint Sand Needs to Be Stabilized
When pavers are installed, the joints are filled with sand to help lock each unit in place. Over time, rain and irrigation systems wash away this sand, leading to shifting, instability, and weed growth.
Our sealing process includes replacing or topping off the joint sand with high-quality, nutrient-free silica sand. Then we seal over it, locking the material in place and reducing erosion. This step is essential to maintain the structure and longevity of your paver surface.
Our full paver maintenance service can keep these joints solid for years to come with proper care.
Stain Resistance Starts with Sealing
Brand-new pavers may not show any signs of staining yet, but that can change quickly—especially on driveways and pool decks.
Unsealed pavers absorb oil, grease, rust, leaf tannins, and pool chemicals. These stains become nearly impossible to remove once they settle deep into the porous surface. Sealing prevents this by creating a stain-resistant top layer that repels water and contaminants.
When sealed properly, most spills can be rinsed or wiped off with minimal effort—saving you time, money, and frustration in the long run.
When to Seal After Installation
Timing matters. You should wait 30 to 60 days after installation to allow your pavers to settle, cure, and release any surface efflorescence (a white, powdery substance that sometimes appears on new pavers). Once that period passes, it’s the ideal time to seal.
Waiting too long increases the risk of early staining, weed growth, and fading. Acting early ensures your new surface is protected from the start, not after damage has already occurred.
We offer free consultations and inspections to determine the best timeline and process based on your installation and property layout.
