FAQ on Concrete Sealer

Why do I have to seal my concrete?
Sealing the concrete preserves the color from efflorescence which gives the concrete a pale, chalky appearance. Decorative or colored concrete has to be sealed!

How much sealer do I need to seal my concrete?
About 1 gallon of sealer for every 200 sq. feet or one five gallon pail for 1000 sq. feet will give you two to three thin coats as recommended.

What is the difference between water based and solvent based sealers and which should I use?
Basically the solvent based sealer smells for two or three days and generally shouldn't be used inside occupied premises. The water based sealer has much less odor for a few hours and applies in a milky white form, drying to clear. Both provide durable finishes and have easy maintenance. The solvent based is generally regarded as the tougher more durable option. SOLVENT BASED SEALER IS NOT AVAILABLE IN CALIFORNIA .

How long does the sealer last?
In most outdoor applications, the sealer will maintain the color for 2 to 4 years. Amount of direct sunlight and weather conditions, de icing agents etc are important factors in determining length between seals. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO MAINTAIN OUTDOOR DECORATIVE CONCRETE, PLEASE DO NOT GET DECORATIVE CONCRETE. Ugly decorative concrete is bad for the entire industry! The seal coat is virtually the only maintenance decorative concrete requires, and is very easy and inexpensive to apply and maintain, costing considerably less to maintain than the average lawn. Indoors, by properly maintaining a wax coat, the sealer will not need to be replaced. (See below how to maintain indoor sealed surfaces.)

How many coats do I need to apply?
We recommend two to three thin coats( if North/South first coat, East /West second to avoid streaks). This allows for faster curing and smoother, better appearance. Dependent on the sealer a fourth coat may be needed to increase the gloss level.

How should I apply the sealer and what should I use to apply it?
You can spray, roll or apply with a wax or sealer applicator. Click Here for sealing instructions.

What can I do to maintain the sealer and the new glossy finish indoors?
A thin water based acrylic wax is the key to preserving the new look of indoor decorative concrete. Depending on the amount of foot traffic, once or twice a year is enough for most residential applications. For those desiring higher sheens, or those having large pets and other floor intense situations, you may want to max three or four times a year. Our wax products can be applied with a sponge mop in thin coats to create a sacrificial barrier and preserve the seal coat and color appearance. Click Here for our floor wax.
