Mexican Pavers, Italian Pavers or pavers from places beyond,
are comprised mostly, if not completely, of clay. They are
often very porous and therefore extremely versatile. They can be
colored, sealed and finished an infinite variety of ways
creating a look to suit any décor whether you have a new
installation or wish to refinish your existing pavers. Stripping and Refinishing: Pavers are usually
sealed with a topical sealer or surface coating upon
installation. This protective coating wears out without periodic
maintenance. When the coating deteriorates and begins to crack
and chip, it loses its ability to repel stains, oils, dirt, and
other contaminates. Soon thereafter the pavers become a
candidate for refinishing. Stripping is done using a series of solvent or water based products suitable for the removal of the specific type of sealer on the pavers. Many sealers require very caustic, solvent-based strippers for their removal, while others will strip using gentler water based products. It is here that NuTech’s expertise and experience comes into play: each job is different. All work is done by hand; no machines are used on pavers due to their softness. Once the pavers have been fully stripped and detailed, they can be treated as though they were a new installation, allowing for coloring, staining, sealing and finishing as desired. |
