The Long-Lasting Benefits of Hard Surface Sealing

Exterior areas of your property will eventually experience wear and tear due to their daily exposure to environmental elements. Having your property cleaned by professional outdoor cleaning services will help maintain its integrity. But some hard surfaces are naturally porous, or tend to have pores over time. Other areas use materials that have crevices in between, such as tiles and pavers. As a result, various kinds of dirt can get trapped inside, creating a dull and grimy appearance. Mould, mildew, and moss can also grow in these crevices. If left unchecked, this can even destroy hard surfaces or cause slipping accidents.

If you want long-lasting protection against dirt with a better finish, hard surface sealing is highly recommended. A thin coat of sealer is evenly applied on the surface using a roller or sprayer. This will be applied only after you’ve cleaned the surface thoroughly, so there won’t be any trapped dirt. The sealer can also seep through the pores and crevices, creating a protective layer that will prevent dirt from getting stuck inside.

Here are the best benefits that you can gain from using hard surface sealing for outdoor areas of your property:

1. Protects the surface from detrimental elements

Weather conditions, foot traffic, oil, and various kinds of dirt and outgrowth can create subsequent damage or leave stubborn stains on outdoor surfaces. The hard surface sealer can penetrate deeply into the pore structure. This makes the surface oil- and water-repellent as well as resistant to mould and mildew. Though the sealer is bonded with the surface, it can still allow vapour transmission so that the tiniest traces of moisture can still evaporate. Overall, it provides an effective layer of protection against the formation of hard-to-remove stains.

2. Adds lustre and richness to improve appearance

Hard surface sealing usually comes in different finishes: natural, clear, or coloured. Whichever you choose that’s appropriate, the effects of the sealer can make the surface appear smoother and more vibrant. This helps elevate the overall appearance of your property and makes it even more attractive to buyers if you’re in the market to sell it.

3. Revitalises the original colour

Constant exposure to the elements can eventually cause discolouration on outdoor surfaces. For example, a brightly coloured brick-paved lane can become dull-looking due to grime and moss. Hard surface sealing can help restore its original colour because of its revitalising finish. It’s as if it looks brand new again!

4. Extends the life of the surface

Exterior areas of your property should be durable and can withstand various outdoor conditions. The protective layer of the sealer can help maintain and extend the structural integrity of these hard surfaces. It prevents dirt and moisture from getting trapped within the pores and crevices, which can hasten the surface’s deterioration. Hard surface sealing is also practical to use for properties that have a swimming pool area or are located in seaside places.

5. Makes it easier to clean

With hard surface sealing, you can easily clean these outdoor areas without having to use strong chemical cleaning agents or hard scrubbing. Just simply wipe or sweep it off! This saves you a lot of time and effort with your regular cleaning chores.
