Why Pavers Fade
If you have had a concrete brick paver patio, walkway or patio for some time, you may have noticed that the colors are not as beautiful and bold as they used to. This is not because you got used to the beauty but because your pavers are faded. The color of pavers disappears gradually and the sand and stone start becoming more noticeable. There is nothing you can blame this issue to but the sun. The good news is paver restoration services can help restore the vibrant colors.
When exposed to sunlight, the UV rays cause the pigments in cement to fade. Even though some pavers are colored throughout the thickness of the paver and not just on the top layer, their color will start getting washed out over time. Bearing in mind stone and sand doesn’t accept the color pigments, they start becoming more and more visible. You will start seeing gray, white or tan colors as the color of the pavers fade.
The best news is you don’t have to replace your patio, walkway or driveway. Restoration services from a reliable company will help you achieve a complete restoration of your pavers. The service focuses on resurfacing the pavers to get the color as well as original look. In most cases, your pavers will be steam cleaned to remove gum, dirt, grime and other debris. A paver sealer may also be applied to restore the elegance and luster of your home.
Restoring color
To prolong the life and beauty of your pavers, you have to know how to restore the color properly. The paver restoration process starts with the cleaning of the pavers. Once they are dry, the cleaned paver is sealed. If the pavers need a polymeric sand between the joints, sand is poured on the pavers to fill the joints using a push broom. Blowers are used to remove leftover sand. The paver sealer restore color to the paver and solidifies the joint sand to prevent moss and weeds from growing between the pavers.
While it might seem like a simple task, when it comes to the restoration of pavers, you should leave the work to the experts. This is because the process requires more than selecting the right paver sealer to enhance the look and restore the color of pavers.
