Sealing Pool Pavers Peron - Perth

Outdoor paver tiles are exposed to the weather and the elements, including sun, rain, frost and snow, and when there is a swimming pool nearby there is also the exposure to all the water splashing from the swimming pool, wether it is salt water or fresh water. Therefore it is important to determine wether the type of tile you have outside is a tile that requires sealing or not. In general, all porous tiles require sealing, especially stone tiles outside. It is also important to determine which type of sealer you will be using on your outside tiles, as different sealers are used outside than inside, and different sealers are used on different types of tiles, that is why we always recommend you consult a professional even if you have decided to do it yourself, as using the wrong type of sealer can mean that the sealer on the tiles will start to wear off within a few weeks of application, which will require further work to remove it and reapply it again correctly, wasting your precious time and money.

Types of sealers used on natural stone pool pavers

Both water based sealers and solvent-based sealers can be used on natural stone pool paver tiles. However, unless needed for a specific reason, we always recommend using water based sealers as they do not produce smelly fumes on application and removal, and they are a lot easier to apply and remove, and take less drying time. In fact, solvent-based sealers are banned in many parts of the world, including most of Europe.

Different cleaning and maintenance instructions and methods should be used on pool pavers depending on its finish and wether it's sealed or left in its natural state. In General, Natural stone pavers should be cleaned and maintained with non acidic products, and it is recommended to get them professionally cleaned every few years to help make them last longer and bring up the fresh look after the tiles start to look tired daily use.
Sealants are layer forming treatments that produce a shiny (or natural) protective film on the surface. This sealer must be stripped and re applied from time to time. Different sealants are recommended for indoors than outdoors, and sealants cant vary in type, lifetime (durability), stain protective properties, and slip resisting properties.

Are pavers around swimming pools any different?

Outdoor tile is made to be sturdy, and to withstand a great deal of exposure from wind, rain, snow and other elements like swimming pool chemicals or salt. However, just because this tile is built to last for a long time, does not mean that it won't require some protection on your part. Over time, it's common for pool paver tiles to suffer from a wide variety of different problems, including staining, cracking and more. By sealing your paver tiles around your swimming pool, you protect them against damage and extend its life.

It is however important to know which type of water based sealer to use on your outdoor natural stone pavers, as many water based sealers will not last long outside as they are designed for internal use, so it is important to use a water based sealer that is specifically made for outside use.

You should always ensure that the tiles themselves are completely clean, before you attempt to seal up the tile. This will protect the appearance of the tile, and help to be sure that there won't be any dirt or other debris caught under the layer of sealant.

Honed: The surface of the tile is sanded to create a matte finish.
Tumbled: Tiles are tumbled with gravel and bearings, giving them a rough, aged appearance.
Brushed: A wire brush is used to give the surface of the tiles a worn, textured surface.
Filled: The pores in the tiles are filled with coloured resin or cement to produce a solid surface.
Polished: The tiles are sanded and polished, producing a shiny look. This is not recommended around swimming pools as it can be slippery when wet.

As paver tiles may be sealed, the sealer may need to be removed and re-applied after it starts to wear off, this usually depends on type of sealer used, method used to apply it and the amount of traffic or use. This process is called stripping and sealing, and is usually required every 2-10 years depending on type of sealer, area used (indoor or outdoor), and amount of traffic or use.
