This was a residential application. This account had someone come out and apply a stain to the pavers with hopes of restoring the color. They could tell from the small area applied that ‘staining pavers’ was basically painting the pavers. This would have resulted in a horrible, tacky, and unnatural look to the pavers. The pavers had been stained as well, and continued cleaning would not remove the stains. Our process not only removed the stains but also restored the pavers’ natural look.

National Sealing Co. is the largest paver sealer in the country, with over 2 million square feet of pavers protected. We recognized a need to develop a coloring process for faded pavers. Fading of pavers is a fatal consequence of the lack of continued sealing of pavers.

The goal was to RESTORE the pavers or come as close as possible to a natural look. We wanted to avoid the STAINED or PAINTED look, which would create an unnatural appearance and be an ongoing maintenance issue. For vehicular applications, staining and painting tend to ‘lift’ with hot tires. Our dye penetrates the porous pavers.

National Sealing applied our grey dyeing process.
