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.

Shiny vs Wet Look Paver Sealer, What is the Difference?

Shiny Paver Sealer vs Wet Look

In 2022, Concrete Sealer Review continues to remain your number one source for concrete and brick paver sealer professional tips and advice. Below is an updated article for 2022 that discusses the difference between a shiny vs wet look paver sealer. If you have questions or have used a shiny or wet look paver sealer, we want to hear your input! Feel free to leave us a comment with pictures below.

Sealing pavers is an excellent way to enhance and preserve their appearance. There are certain paver sealers that will bring out the natural colors of the pavers while locking out moisture, which will help preserve and increase their longevity. The sealer also helps to solidify the sand joints and can help with weed growth and freeze/thaw damage that may occur in colder climates.

There are several different finishes involved with paver sealers. A matte finish will not alter the appearance of the pavers at all but will still preserve the surface and keep out unwanted moisture. Typically a matte finish sealer is water-based. Besides a matte finish, you can also go for a shiny or wet look. So what is the difference between a shiny vs. wet look paver sealer? There is a slight difference in appearance and also in the formula that makes up either sealer.

Sealing New Brick Pavers

Newly installed pavers can add curb appeal to your outdoor areas as well as create a usable surface. A new paver installation will not stay looking new long unless it is protected from normal use and natural elements. Unprotected pavers will begin to lose color and may shift or become damaged due to unwanted water intrusion. Weeds will begin to grow up in the sand joints causing an unsightly appearance. Heaving and shifting of the pavers may occur due to freeze and thaw damage. To avoid these issues and protect your new paver investment it is important to apply a paver sealer.
