Paver sealer needed

4 gallons

Check your inputs

Textured, tumbled, or highly porous pavers absorb more sealer than smooth, dense pavers — check your specific product's coverage rating.

Area to seal (all coats)
645.83 sq ft

At the values currently entered, the paver sealer needed works out to 4 gallons. Note that paver area sits at the low end of the range this calculator was checked against, so treat the output as indicative rather than settled. Confidence is moderate: the method is sound, but real materials and site conditions vary. Figures are shown for United States, where IRC 2024 is the governing residential reference; switch the market above if you are building elsewhere.

Estimated cost — your price

This site holds no price list for this material — local prices vary too much to publish honestly. Enter your supplier's price and the result is costed with it.

Preliminary estimate, not certified engineering. This tool produces an indicative quantity calculation for planning purposes only — it is not a certified structural analysis, a guaranteed material takeoff, or a substitute for building department approval. Always verify measurements on-site and have a licensed contractor or structural engineer review any load-bearing, code-sensitive, or safety-critical work before purchasing materials or starting construction. Spotted an arithmetic or standards error? Report it to contact@craftquantities.com with your inputs — confirmed fixes become pinned regression tests.

Frequently asked questions

Why seal pavers at all?
Sealer helps lock in polymeric jointing sand, resists stains and weed growth, and can enhance the paver's color — it's a maintenance choice rather than a structural necessity.
How long should new pavers cure before sealing?
Many installers recommend waiting 60-90 days after installation (and after polymeric sand has fully cured) before the first sealing, though this varies by product — check your specific sealer's instructions.
How often does paver sealer need reapplying?
Typically every 2-5 years depending on the sealer type, sun exposure, and foot/vehicle traffic — a solvent-based sealer often lasts longer than a water-based one but can be more involved to reapply.
