Seal the Deal with the Best Concrete Sealers for Your Floors

Posted on

Are you looking into a new concrete installation? Despite concrete being such a robust and resilient material for whatever project you are planning, you should seal it to guarantee maximum durability.  Professional concrete sealing for office, domestic or commercial spaces extends your floor's life cycle and ensures it lasts significantly longer than it otherwise would without sealing. The last thing you want is to pay for regular repairs to eliminate abrasions and stains on your surfaces. Here are three sealers that will help you keep your investment in top shape. 

Penetrating Concrete Sealers 

The sealers alter your concrete through a chemical reaction that doesn't change the look, texture or natural finish of the surface you have created. The sealer will sink to one or two centimetres into the concrete to enhance moisture and stain resistance capabilities without leaving a visible film.  If you have laid the perfect patio or driveway or own a large warehouse, you want to make sure to keep moisture at bay with these types of sealers. You can also apply them to architecturally designed pavers, stone and high-end concrete work. 

Filming Concrete Sealers

Also known as surface-coating sealers, these sealers provide a thin protective film across the surface to reduce water penetration and guard against regular abrasion. The end result will be a highly breathable surface that resembles the appearance of varnish. If a glossy finish is not your cup of tea, you can opt for a low-sheen sealer that will leave you with a natural-looking floor and minimal maintenance requirements. One drawback of these sealers is that they are not highly durable and will need regular re-application to enjoy full-coverage benefits for a longer period. 

Wet Look Concrete Sealers 

Your surface is under constant pressure and is required to withstand a lot of stress from elements, heavy use, foot traffic and spills. As such, your floor is left looking old, tired and in need of a facelift to restore shine. This is where wet look sealers come in. Like the name suggests, they create a look that resembles a surface sprayed by a water hose, with enriching colours and a drastic final look on an old concrete surface. If you wish, you can add some pigment to the sealer to accomplish a unique desired look. 

Whatever surface that you might find yourself needing to treat with a sealing product, make sure to enlist the services of a concrete sealing professional.
