The total paved surface area to seal.
This is the same area used for the Paver Calculator.
2 coats is standard for most paver sealer products.
Check your specific product — some high-build sealers are formulated for a single thicker coat.

How this was calculated
Formula source(s)
- Paver sealer typically covers approximately 150-200 sq ft per gallon per coat, depending on paver porosity and sealer type
Inputs used
- Paver Area
- 320 sq ft
- Number of Coats
- 2
Intermediate steps
- Area to seal (all coats)
- 640 sq ft
Confidence note: Textured, tumbled, or highly porous pavers absorb more sealer than smooth, dense pavers — check your specific product's coverage rating.
What this calculation does not cover
- Each coat is charged at the same 175 square feet per gallon, so the second and third coats are billed as though they were landing on bare pavers rather than on a surface the first coat has already partly filled.
- That 175 is a single value taken from the 150-200 square feet per gallon band this page cites, and no field is offered for the rate printed on your own pail — a sealer at the bottom of that band wants roughly 17% more than the answer shown.
- Only the flat plan area is counted, with nothing added for the sand joints between units, for the chamfered edges of the pavers, or for the sealer that stays behind in the sprayer, tray or roller; there is no waste or loss field anywhere in the form.
- The total is rounded up once, after every coat has been added together, and only to the next whole gallon rather than to the can and pail sizes sealer is actually sold in, so the final part-gallon can still mean buying more than the figure suggests.
- Everything is worked out in square feet and US gallons because the coverage rate is quoted that way, and a metric visitor is shown that whole-gallon count converted afterwards — the default 30 m² over two coats reads as about 15.1 L, a litre figure already rounded up in gallons rather than to a metric container.
- The form takes whole coats only, from one to three, and stops at about 10,800 square feet (1,000 m²) of paving, so a light mist pass or a drive larger than that has to be entered as separate runs and added by hand.

Tools and safety for this job
To roll and cut in two coats. Generic types, no brands, no prices.
Protection this work requires
- A dust mask does nothing about solvent vapour: ventilate through, and use an organic-vapour (A1) cartridge respirator in an enclosed room.
- Most fatal falls on small jobs are from under three metres: use a tower or a ladder tied at the top, and never work off the top two rungs.
