sealers
Concrete is a naturally porous material and will stain if unprotected by a sealer. We offer two different sealers for you to choose from depending on your situation.
All of our sealers are non-toxic, food-grade, and low VOC.
penetrating sealer
This sealer option offers a "natural" look and feel and will enable the concrete to develop a warm "patina" over time.
- Protects from staining, but offers little or no protection from acidic foods (lemons, red wine, vinegar, etc.).
- Countertops develop a warm patina over time, similar to soapstone, limestone, marble, and copper.
- Carnauba wax acts as a sacrificial coating and can easily be applied as often as desired.
- Yearly re-application of sealer will maintain stain protection.
- For countertops we recommend choosing a ground finish with this sealer for best stain resistance.
- Ultimately the concrete can be refinished and renewed.
topical sealers
Our topical sealer provides a durable barrier to protect the concrete from staining.
- Great stain protection from oils and acidic foods.
- Sealer can scratch or be cut by sharp or rough objects. Spot repairs are possible.
- Requires no regular maintenance.
- Available in gloss, low gloss and matte sheens.
- Countertop may need to be resealed every 5 to 10 years, depending on use.
