Applications & Specialty Concrete Sealers

Concrete sealers are used to do just as the name implies — seal concrete. This is the broadest explanation for this product. However, several applications can call for concrete sealers. From new indoor countertops to patios surrounding a pool, industrial auto shop garage floor, or a new commercial building walkway, the applications for the best concrete sealer are endless!
It’s important to note that concrete sealers are not one size fits all for applications. Each sealer features its own properties and characteristics, so the type of sealer you need may vary from one application to the next. Even similar applications like driveways, garage floors, and patios can all require a different type of sealer to accomplish your goals.
Several specialty concrete sealers are available, including epoxy, warehouse, paver, and countertop concrete sealer products.
Epoxy
Epoxy concrete sealer is applied in two separate parts. Part A and B must be kept separate until the epoxy sealer is ready to be applied. Once mixed, the two parts create an unbreakable chemical bond. The result is an incredibly hard protective surface for your concrete.
Epoxy sealer can be used in a variety of applications. It creates the glossiest coat of any other concrete sealer, which is perfect for those who want a beautiful shine for years to come. Better still, epoxy is the only sealer that allows you to place flecks of gold flakes, quartz, and metallic into the sealer when applying it. As the epoxy hardens, it encapsulates the additions and allows them to shine when the light catches them.
Warehouse
Warehouse concrete sealer is most often used in commercial applications, but it can also be used in specific residential applications as well. This type of sealer is a good choice for those who will have high foot traffic, heavy machinery, or various chemicals in the area. The thick layer of sealant provides an impermeable coat and prevents any dust, cracks, stains, or scratches on the concrete.
Waterhouse concrete sealer can even be lightly scored after it dries to ensure the area is non-slip. This improves safety in the general area. Additionally, it can be buffed into a shiny or matte finish. The ability to do both makes this concrete sealer versatile. It can be used as a stamped concrete sealer in malls or a general sealer in an auto garage.

Paver
Pavers made out of concrete should be treated the same as a concrete slab. Even those small individual concrete pavers are susceptible to retaining moisture and cracking over time. Paver concrete sealer is designed to get in all of the nooks and crannies that often appear in pavers. Rather than being exposed to the elements, the pavers will continue to remain in the same beautiful pattern they were laid without worry of cracks or shifts.
Furthermore, a stain can be added to create a beautiful appearance to the pavers. You can patiently apply multiple stains to each paver or use one stain to cover all of the pavers at once.
Countertop
Concrete countertops are becoming especially popular in both commercial and residential applications. However, before a concrete countertop can be used, it must be sealed. The very nature of concrete allows too much dust to be kicked up as plates, bags, utensils, and other items are tossed onto the surface.
If a concrete countertop is not being used to eat on, then a special concrete sealer is not needed. However, if the purpose of the countertop is to be useful in the kitchen, a specific food-safe sealer must be used. This ensures no one becomes sick while sitting and enjoying their meal. Both food safe and general countertop concrete sealer follow the same application method. Most often, countertop concrete sealer is water-based.
Available Sealer Finish Options
When it comes to concrete sealer, the finish options are limited only to your imagination. Both regular and stamped concrete both look beautiful in their natural gray appearance. However, those who wish to change the color or shine can easily do so by modifying the finish of the best concrete sealer. With our superior line of concrete sealers, it is easy and efficient to achieve the exact finish you desire for your concrete.
Tinted
Tinted concrete has risen in popularity over the years, especially in commercial and corporate areas. Concrete can be tinted nearly any color, which is perfect for those who want to create a certain aesthetic or maintain their brand colors.
When the concrete sealer is being applied, the concrete tint can easily be added into it to ensure a seamless application. As the concrete sealer dries, it locks the concrete tint into place. This makes sure the concrete and its new tinting will look fresh in the years ahead.
High Gloss
A polished concrete floor screams elegance and class. Fortunately, a concrete sealer makes it incredibly easy to create as shiny of a concrete floor or countertop as you please! Certain sealers, like epoxy, will naturally produce a high shine on their own while others, like warehouses, will need to be buffed. Fortunately, any sealer can be buffed to create a modest or almost reflective/mirror like shine.

Matte
Matte finish sealers are increasing in popularity, for several reasons. They don’t show scratches or wear patterns easily and they don’t show deglossing outdoors. For those who know the floor will constantly be worked on with heavy machine, grease, or other items, a matte finish is perfect! A matte finish is less likely to cause slipping, which is an added bonus. It is also easy to score to decrease the likelihood of a slip and fall accident. Many repair shops, equipment stores, and sporting areas can benefit from having a matte finish for the concrete floor. Tru Matte can be added to a glossy sealer to produce a matte or satin finish.
