FAQS
Absolutely. The safety of your family, pets, and the environment is a top priority for us. The sealants we use for concrete are non-toxic and eco-friendly once fully cured. We recommend keeping pets and plants away from the treated area until the sealant has dried completely, typically within 24 hours, to ensure their safety and the effectiveness of the application.
The frequency of sealing concrete surfaces depends on several factors, including the type of sealant used, the exposure of the area to traffic and weather, and the specific use of the concrete surface. Generally, it is recommended to reseal concrete every 2 to 3 years. However, surfaces exposed to harsh weather conditions or heavy usage may require more frequent sealing. We can assess your concrete and provide a personalized maintenance schedule to keep it in optimal condition.
Concrete sealants can be broadly categorized into two types: penetrating sealers and topical sealers.
- Penetrating Sealers: These sealants penetrate into the concrete to form a chemical barrier that protects against moisture, oil, and other contaminants. Penetrating sealers are ideal for exterior surfaces, as they don’t significantly alter the appearance of the concrete and provide durable protection without the need for frequent reapplication.
- Topical Sealers: Topical sealers sit on the surface of the concrete, creating a protective layer that guards against water, stains, and wear. They are available in various finishes, from matte to high gloss, and can enhance the color and appearance of decorative concrete. Topical sealers may require more frequent reapplication than penetrating sealers, especially on high-traffic areas.
Choosing the right sealant depends on your concrete’s location, usage, and aesthetic preferences. Our experts can guide you in selecting the best option for your needs.
Yes, repairing cracks and damages in concrete is a critical step before sealing. Ignoring cracks can lead to further deterioration, making the surface more difficult to seal effectively. Our team performs comprehensive repairs, including filling cracks, patching holes, and addressing any unevenness to ensure a smooth, durable surface ready for sealing. These repairs not only improve the appearance of your concrete but also its longevity and performance.
The longevity of concrete sealing varies based on the type of sealant used, the condition of the concrete, and the level of exposure to traffic and environmental elements. On average, a professionally applied concrete sealant can last from 2 to 5 years. Penetrating sealers tend to have a longer lifespan compared to topical sealers, especially in areas subjected to heavy wear or extreme weather conditions. Regular maintenance and timely resealing will extend the life of your concrete, keeping it looking great and functioning well for years to come.
EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR CONCRETE
Choosing The Best Concrete Sealer For Your Needs
Every Concrete Still Requires Protection
Concrete is one of the most durable and versatile materials used in construction, but it still requires protection to maintain its integrity and appearance over time. Applying a sealer for concrete can enhance its longevity, appearance, and resistance to environmental factors. In this article, we’ll explore various types of concrete sealers and their applications to help you choose the best one for your project.
Understanding Concrete Sealers
Concrete sealers are applied to concrete surfaces to protect them from damage caused by water, chemicals, and other environmental factors. They also enhance the appearance of the concrete by providing a glossy or matte finish. Sealers are essential for both new and existing concrete surfaces.
Types of Concrete Sealers
Penetrating Sealers
Penetrating sealers are absorbed into the concrete, providing protection from within. These sealers are excellent for driveways, patios, and pool decks as they offer long-lasting protection and slip resistance. They are also water repellent, making them ideal for outdoor applications.Acrylic Sealers
Acrylic sealers, particularly solvent-based acrylic sealers, provide a protective surface film that enhances the color of decorative concrete like stamped concrete. They are easy to apply and offer a range of finishes from glossy to matte. These sealers are perfect for areas where appearance is a priority, such as patios and walkways.Concrete Driveway Sealer
Driveways are constantly exposed to weather, vehicle traffic, and chemicals. Using a concrete driveway sealer helps protect the surface from stains, cracking, and deterioration. A solvent-based sealer is often recommended for its durability and resistance to oil, grease, and other contaminants.Stamped Concrete Sealer
Stamped concrete adds a decorative element to your surfaces but requires protection to maintain its look. A stamped concrete sealer enhances the color and design while providing a durable, protective layer. These sealers often require a thin coat application for optimal results.Concrete Floor Sealers
For indoor concrete floors, a cement floor sealer provides a smooth, dust-free surface that is easy to clean and maintain. It also protects the floor from spills and abrasions. Water-based concrete sealers are popular for indoor use due to their low odor and eco-friendly properties.
Applying the Sealer
Before applying the sealer, ensure the concrete surface is clean and dry. Most sealers require a dry time of 24 hours to cure properly. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the best results. Here are some general steps:
- Clean the Surface: Remove any dirt, oil, or debris from the concrete.
- Apply the Sealer: Use a roller or sprayer to apply an even coat of the sealer. For penetrating sealers, ensure they are absorbed into the surface.
- Allow to Dry: Let the sealer dry for the recommended time, usually around 24 hours.
- Apply a Second Coat: If needed, apply a second coat for additional protection and let it dry completely.
Choosing the Right Sealer for Your Project
Selecting the right type of sealer depends on the specific needs of your project. For outdoor surfaces exposed to water and weather, a waterproof sealant for concrete or penetrating sealer is ideal. For decorative concrete like stamped designs, an acrylic sealer provides both protection and an attractive finish. For high-traffic areas like driveways, a solvent-based concrete sealer offers the best durability.
