How to Find the Perfect Sealer for My Paving
Looking for the perfect sealer for your paving? Sealing your pavers is a crucial step in maintaining their durability and aesthetic appeal, but before you can find the perfect sealant, it’s essential to determine the type of paver you have.
What Type of Paver Do You Have?
Dry-cast Pavers
Often called “cement” paving, these types of paving bricks are probably the most common in South Africa. Shapes range from the “Interlocker” often seen on sidewalks and shopping centres to the “bevel” type or normal brick to large pavers like “urban” pavers. These pavers are available in various colours and textures.
Manufacturers include Bosun, Infraset, Technicrete, CEL, Vibro, MVA, Conframat, and others.

Clay Paving Bricks
Clay pavers have a distinctive reddish-earthy colour and as the name suggests, they are manufactured from clay. These pavers are less porous, but more brittle than concrete. The leading manufacturer of clay pavers is Corobrik.
Wet-cast Pavers
Wet-cast paving is often referred to as simulated stone. As the name suggests, they usually have a stone texture and are available in various colours. Variants of wet-cast concrete paving include cobbles, flagstones, and bullnose copings. Manufacturers include SmartStone, Revelstone, Wilsonstone, and Creative Stone.
