Why Use a Brickwork Sealer?

11 Jun

Brickwork sealers are one of the best ways to protect your driveway or patio after cleaning.

The main benefit?
They harden the sand between your bricks, which stops weeds growing through.
This also helps reduce brick movement over time.

Types of Sealers

1. Basic Sealers (No Change in Appearance)

These sealers do one job: they lock the sand in place.
They don’t change how your bricks look.
Perfect if you want protection without altering the finish.

Example: Resiblock Trade
– Affordable
– No shine or darkening
– Focused on performance

2. Appearance Sealers (Matt or Gloss Finish)

These sealers protect and enhance the appearance of your surface.
You can choose a matt look for a soft natural finish, or a gloss look for a darker, wet-effect.

Example: Resiblock Superior
– Locks in sand
– Repels stains
– Improves visual appeal

What Sealers Can and Can’t Do

✅ Stops weeds by hardening the sand
✅ Reduces brick movement
✅ Repels stains and grime

❌ Doesn’t stop moss — Moss grows on the surface from airborne spores

But:

Reduce dirt build-up
Avoid full re-sanding
Make maintenance easier and cheaper
