When you invest in stamped concrete sealing, they will do an excellent job of handling and distributing the weight of both driving cars and parked cars, better known as moving weight and static weight. At the same time, they maintain strong, uniform flexibility and eliminate the entry of weeds and insects. This ensures longer-term performance and value.
At SealAll, we emphasize a lot on our preparation. Sealers are not substances you want to have in contact with your skin or eyes, so make sure to wear gloves, long sleeves and trousers, and eye protection when applying the sealer. Before beginning, read label directions for any special precautions, including suggested optimal weather and temperatures for sealing.
We also emphasize on the quality of the equipment we use. Depending on the sealer you use, concrete sealers only require minimal equipment for application, such as a roller, sprayer, or brush. Refer to the manufacturer’s label instructions for the recommended method. Generally speaking, solvent-based (oil-based) sealers are best applied by spraying, while water-based sealers are better applied with a roller.
With either method, we strive for complete coverage. It is best to apply two or even three thin coats, allowing each coat to dry between applications. This will prevent puddling that can create uneven coverage. Overlap the areas as you apply the sealer to ensure full coverage.
We recommend that you hire a professional to install either stamped concrete or pre-cast pavers and slabs. For stamped concrete, getting the mix of cement and water right is critical to a finished product that cures properly and doesn’t prematurely bubble or crack. For blocks, a professional will make sure the surface is properly compacted before the blocks are laid.
Once stamped concrete is cured, you’ll need to have it sealed to protect it from weathering and foreign substances like pool chemicals or road salt, as well as to prevent fading. On the other hand, pavers and slabs are ready to go and don’t need sealing.
In terms of durability, this is where pavers and slabs stand out. This means stamped concrete requires more maintenance to keep it looking nice over the years. It needs to be sealed annually and, even so, the color will fade over time. By comparison, pavers and slabs don’t need more than an occasional sweep and keep their color as they age.
