Why are warehouse concrete sealers important?
Warehouse concrete floor sealer is important for numerous reasons. The first, and most obvious, is to protect the aesthetic of your building. Bare concrete is strong and durable, but it is not oblivious to damage if it is not properly sealed. It can be scratched, chipped, and cracked by foot traffic or falling objects. When the chipping or scratching occurs, dust is also kicked up. This can cause an unpleasant or even dangerous environment to work or visit.
Warehouse concrete sealers not only improve the durability of your concrete, but also reduce the required maintenance. The smooth surface is easy to sweep and mop. Rather than constantly trying to pick up excess dust from concrete, your cleaning team only needs to worry about cleaning dirt and debris on the ground. Once sealed, you can expect a smooth glossy shine (or matte surface, if you prefer) for years to come.
Furthermore, concrete sealers ensure the safety of everyone in the building. As mentioned, untreated concrete is susceptible to creating dust. Concrete contains silica, which can cause irritation to the body when breathed in over a short or long period of time. Coughing, sneezing, and shortness of breath are common issues that come from breathing in silica dust. Additionally, these particles can cause worse symptoms in those with pre-existing lung conditions.
In addition to silica, radon is another risk with unsealed concrete. Radon is known to cause lung cancer in patients of all ages, regardless if they are healthy or already have preexisting conditions.
Fortunately, our warehouse floor sealer is the easiest solution to address all of these issues. Once it is properly cured, you can begin to walk on the floors again. Better still, any radon levels should be greatly diminished within 30 days of applying the sealant.
How is warehouse concrete sealer applied?
Depending on the size of the concrete floors, the way the warehouse concrete sealer is applied will vary. Four popular options for applying the sealer include using a pump sprayer, low pressure sprayer, medium nap roller or soft bristle, split-tip broom.
Larger applications are most often completed with a pump sprayer or low pressure sprayer. The sheer square footage of the floors that need to be covered often require too much man power and time to complete a quality application with a roller or bristle broom.
While all applications can be completed with sprayer, it may be more beneficial and cost effective to use a roller in smaller applications. The time it takes to clean out sprayers may utilize more resources than disposing of a one time use roller.
What types of concrete warehouse floor sealers are available?
Our warehouse floor sealer comes in three densifier product options. These densifiers reduce radon levels, improve stain resistance, and prevent concrete dusting. Our three options include:
- Sodium Tru Hard
- Colloidal Tru Hard
- CAS 150 – densifier and sealer
Each of our densifiers fill the pores in concrete to create a positive seal that prevents water, chemicals, and other unwanted particles from entering the concrete. Each densifier from Waltools is guaranteed to never peel after the initial application. You can even expect to avoid having (most) tire marks left on your industrial concrete floors.
If you are not sure what type of densifier is best for your intended application, please do not hesitate to contact our team today!
What industries and/or applications utilize concrete floor sealers?
Any building that has concrete floors can use a concrete floor sealer. Some of the most popular applications are sealing warehouses, auto shops, and other industrial buildings. However, even contractors use concrete sealer in residential applications like basements or newly laid patios.
Due to the nature of concrete sealer, it can be used indoors or outside. Once the sealer chemically reacts with the porous concrete, it will not allow water or other substances to enter the concrete floors.
What options are available with warehouse concrete floor sealer?
Several options are available to create the best appearance for your concrete floors that meet your taste and aesthetic. Any building that utilizes concrete floors can easily use our sealer.
For those who want to avoid a gray concrete floor, you can also use a tint with the warehouse sealer. You can create the colored concrete you desire before you seal the floor.
The colloidal and sodium tru hard are not slick when applied to concrete. CAS 150 can produce very minimal slip. Tru grip can be mixed in the sealer to increase ant slip properties.
Additionally, there is no hard rule that says concrete floors must be glossy. Of course, our warehouse concrete floor sealer can create a beautiful shine that lasts for years to come when buffed. However, the floors can also be applied to create a matte, modern appearance.
