Concrete Sealer Application

Once a concrete floor is acid-stained or cleaned, a concrete sealer is applied to help resist water, stains, dirt and abrasives.

Surface sealers for exterior applications should be acrylic to allow moisture in the slab to escape. Solvent-based acrylics generally perform better than water-based products for outdoor use. For surfaces where a shiny or wet look is not desirable, we recommend silicone-based penetrating sealers. A good indoor application consists of one coat of solvent-based acrylic followed by a topcoat application of water-based acrylic. Floor maintenance is performed with additional applications of water-based acrylic sealers or waxes.

For interior slabs, Cleaning 4U use three primary types of sealers: acrylics, urethanes, and epoxies. Acrylics are UV stable, inexpensive, and easy to apply or reapply, as necessary, but they have the softest surface of the three and require the most maintenance. Solvent-based acrylic sealers are softer than water-based products. They also provide a wet look that greatly enhances the appearance of coloured finishes.

Epoxy sealers are much harder than acrylics. Water-based epoxies bond well to concrete and provide a clear finish, but they are nonporous and do not allow trapped moisture to escape. Epoxies are probably the best choice for concrete countertops and food-preparation areas. They are not UV-resistant, and reapplication involves more elaborate preparation than for acrylics.

Urethane sealers, though the most costly, provide the most abrasive-resistant finish. However, they do not bond well to concrete, so they must be applied over water-based epoxy applications. They are not UV-stable, and reapplication is expensive.

The best time to apply concrete sealer is right after colouring or cleaning.
