SuperSeal30 Paver and Concrete Sealer Scores (1-10)

Wet Look: 10

– SuperSeal30 contains 30% solid content of acrylic. It darkened our 4-year-old paver patio as if wet with water and stayed that way after drying. Enhanced the natural red and brown tones in our paver bricks.

Gloss Level: 8

– The high solid content of the SuperSeal gave our paver patio a high gloss shine. The overall appearance on our test patio was quite rich looking but not too shiny that it looked “fake”. The sealer was slightly slippery for the first couple of weeks when it rained but after full curing, that was not an issue.

Applied to a brick paver patio surrounding a pool.

Masonry Saver Paver Sealer Scores (1-10)

Wet Look: 7.5

– The MasonrySaver Paver Sealer did darken the surface but not nearly as much as a solvent-based sealer will. It definitely looked richer but was lacking in that deep rich look.

Gloss Level: 6.5

– It took two coats of the sealer to see some gloss. The gloss level was more of a matte shine, not a semi-gloss. Being that this install was around a pool, that could be a benefit for potential slipping.

Restore-A-Garage Epoxy Review

Application: 8

– The Restore-A-Garage Epoxy is a two-component coating system and is easy to apply and the directions are easy to follow. Once you mix Part A and Part B together, you spread the coating over the surface with a notched squeegee and even out with a roller. We were able to cover our 3-car test garage in less than 30 minutes. Using Spiked shoes we then broadcasted the Fleck evenly over the surface. We top coated later with their optional Gloss Aliphatic Urethane coating. This rolls on very easily.

Gloss Level after Application: 9

– The high 100% solid content of the Restore-A-Garage Epoxy Coating gives a nice gloss to the floor. We top coated this with the Gloss Top Coat that is optional and adds additional shine and protection to the surface. FYI, they do carry an optional Satin sheen if you prefer a lower luster.

Brick Paver Patios and landscaping blocks have become increasingly popular in the last 10-20 years.

Brick Paver patios can be customized to be designed for any area. They are very popular for driveways, walkways, around pools, etc. Of course, with any exterior horizontal surface, there is a need for general maintenance with brick pavers by cleaning and sealing on a regular basis.
