CONCRETE SEALER
Concrete is a robust and reliable material, but it’s not invincible. The relentless cycle of summer heat and winter cold can wreak havoc on your concrete surfaces, causing them to pit, pop, crack, and flake. At Allied Concrete Coatings, we understand the importance of protecting your investment. Our Concrete Sealer works by penetrating deep into the pores of the concrete, creating a durable, protective barrier that shields against damage.
Why Concrete Sealing Matters
Using a concrete sealer is a critical step in preserving the longevity and appearance of your concrete surfaces. You've already invested significant money into your concrete driveway, sidewalk, or patio, so it’s essential to protect that investment. If you notice your concrete starting to look worse for wear, applying a concrete sealer can halt further deterioration and maintain its aesthetic appeal.
Many homeowners neglect to seal their concrete surfaces regularly, often only sealing them during initial installation. If you haven’t sealed your concrete in years, it’s time to take action. Conduct a simple water test: pour water onto your concrete surface. If the concrete darkens and absorbs the water like a sponge, it’s unsealed and vulnerable to damage.
The Dangers of Unsealed Concrete
Unsealed concrete is susceptible to various forms of damage. Water can seep into the pores of the concrete, and when it freezes, it expands by up to 9%. This expansion can cause the concrete to pit, pop, crack, and flake. Additionally, concrete sidewalks, driveways, and steps are exposed to harsh conditions, including de-icing chemicals, lawn fertilizers, oil, gas, antifreeze, UV rays, and acid rain.
These elements contribute to the internal rotting of your concrete. Without proper protection, your concrete will continue to deteriorate from the inside out. Replacing damaged concrete can be extremely costly, so preventive measures like sealing are crucial.
The Application Process
Our concrete sealing process is thorough and designed to ensure maximum effectiveness:
- Surface Preparation: We start by cleaning the concrete surface to remove any dirt, debris, or existing coatings. Proper preparation is key to the sealer’s effectiveness.
- Sealer Application: Using advanced techniques, we apply the penetrating hydrophobic sealer to the prepared surface. The sealer infiltrates the pores of the concrete, creating a strong, durable barrier.
- Drying and Curing: The sealer is left to dry and cure, forming an invisible protective layer that does not alter the appearance or texture of the concrete. It won’t discolor the surface or make it slippery.
Benefits of the Concrete Protector Penetrating Hydrophobic Sealer
At Allied Concrete Coatings, we offer a state-of-the-art "Hydrophobic" penetrating concrete sealer designed to provide comprehensive protection for your concrete surfaces. Here’s why our sealer stands out:
- Excellent Water Repellency: Our sealer penetrates deep into the concrete, creating a hydrophobic barrier that repels water. This prevents water from seeping into the concrete and causing freeze/thaw damage.
- Protection Against Freeze/Thaw Damage: By repelling water, our sealer protects concrete from the expansion and contraction caused by freezing and thawing cycles.
- Resistance to Scaling and Popping: The protective barrier formed by our sealer helps prevent the surface scaling and popping often seen in unsealed concrete.
- Salt and Water Damage Protection: Our sealer resists damage from salt and water, making it ideal for areas exposed to de-icing chemicals.
- Oil and Chemical Stain Resistance: The sealer provides a protective layer that resists stains from oil, gas, and other chemicals, keeping your concrete looking clean and new.
- UV Protection: The sealer protects concrete from harmful UV rays, which can cause discoloration and degradation over time.
- Environmentally Responsible: Our sealer is environmentally friendly, making it a safe choice for your home or business.
Long-Lasting Protection
The Concrete Protector sealer not only preserves the aesthetic appeal of your concrete surfaces but also makes them easier to clean. It is resistant to salt, UV rays, and stains, ensuring your concrete remains in excellent condition even under severe conditions like heavy rain, repeated melting and freezing, and exposure to road salts or de-icers.
