Product Information

Oil Stain Remover - Everest Trade Oil Stain Remover Efflorescence Remover - Everest Trade Efflorescence and Salts remover Just like any other concrete sealer, the length of time that a wet look concrete sealer lasts will depend on a number of factors. Things like the porosity of the concrete, the type of liquid used to cure it, and even the weather can all play a role in how long your wet look sealer will last. After correctly applying the sealer, expect to have between 3-5 years protection. Sealer protection will vary dependent on a number of factors such as: traffic (foot/vehicle), weather and general maintenance. In general, though, you can expect your wet look sealant to last for several months before it needs to be reapplied. Of course, if you notice that the sealant is starting to wear off sooner than expected, you can always apply a new coat to keep your concrete looking its best. Whereas the majority of sealers leave a mid to high-gloss finish, the Pro-Kleen PatioSeal barely alters the appearance of the stones. This makes it one of the best patio sealers on the market if you want to achieve a matt look on your patio.

Decorative Concrete Surfaces: When sealing your decorative concrete, you want to make sure you use a high-quality sealer that will not only protect the surface but also enhance its color and character. Our tests showed that it isn’t necessary to spend a lot of cash for a good-quality concrete sealer. MasonryDefender’s concrete driveway sealer is a water-based silane/siloxane blend that provides long-lasting, breathable, waterproof protection. This is an optimal choice for concrete driveways, patios, and other outdoor applications where users don’t wish to alter the surface appearance. Unlike both silicone and silane sealers, silicate sealer does not offer any protection from water damage. It is a great choice as a densifier and hardener of concrete surfaces and it doesn’t not affect the aesthetic appeal of the concrete once applied. Compared to some other makes, it’s markedly less expensive, especially considering that you still receive a reasonable amount in the bottle. It is acrylic-based, so it won't fade or alter the color of most surfaces. If you have tile inlays or other surfaces around your concrete that are extremely sensitive, you may want to test a small area first before applying it to the entire area. It is safe to use indoors as well, although you should make sure that you have adequate ventilation. You can use soap and water to clean up any messes or spills.
