Concrete sealing involves applying a protective coating to the concrete to prevent damage from water, salt, and other substances. The coating is typically made from a silicone-based or acrylic-based material, and is applied using a roller or sprayer. This process helps to extend the life of the concrete and prevent costly repairs.
What concrete sealing involves
Concrete sealing involves applying a protective coating to the concrete to prevent damage from water, salt, and other substances. The coating is typically made from a silicone-based or acrylic-based material, and is applied using a roller or sprayer. This process helps to extend the life of the concrete and prevent costly repairs.
Cleaning — We start by cleaning the concrete to remove any dirt, grime, or other substances that may be present. This helps to ensure that the sealant adheres properly to the concrete.
Application of Sealant — The sealant is then applied to the concrete using a roller or sprayer, depending on the type of sealant being used. The sealant is applied in a consistent, even layer to ensure that all areas of the concrete are protected.
Allowing to Dry — The sealant is then allowed to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions, which can range from a few hours to several days. This helps to ensure that the sealant is fully cured and effective.
Inspection — The concrete is then inspected to ensure that the sealant has been applied properly and that all areas are protected. This helps to prevent any potential problems or issues.

Signs you need concrete sealing
If your concrete is showing signs of cracking or damage, it may be due to a lack of sealant or protection. Sealing the concrete can help to prevent further damage and extend its life.
If you notice that your concrete is becoming discolored or stained, it may be due to the presence of water or other substances. Sealing the concrete can help to prevent these substances from penetrating the surface.
If you have recently installed new concrete, it's a good idea to have it sealed to protect it from the elements and prevent damage.
If you're planning to apply a concrete coating or overlay, it's essential to have the concrete sealed first to ensure that the coating adheres properly.
Concrete Sealing questions
How often should I have my concrete sealed? The frequency of concrete sealing depends on the amount of use and exposure to the elements. As a general rule, it's a good idea to have your concrete sealed every 5-10 years to maintain its appearance and prevent damage.
What type of sealant is used? We use a silicone-based or acrylic-based sealant, which is specifically designed to be effective at preventing water and other substances from penetrating the concrete.
Can I seal my concrete myself? While it's possible to seal your concrete yourself, it's not recommended. Using the wrong type of sealant or applying it incorrectly can lead to a range of problems, including peeling, flaking, or discoloration. It's best to hire a professional to ensure that the job is done safely and correctly.
