Concrete sealer

Featured Replies

Hi all

I'm just putting in a new driveway and thinking about sealing it. I've google concrete sealers  and read up about it. Before l go and buy some l  would like to know personal opinions about various brands and types. 

Cheers

IMO, if it's already poured & cured, don't bother and in most cases the concrete work you get here isn't worth sealing.

If you do want to seal it, Cure & Seal/Curing Compound is probably the best way to go. Immediately after brooming spray it on. It will help retain moisture in the concrete, slowing the curing down for more strength and leave a protective coat behind.

I've been pouring & finishing myself using the cure & seal in the pic. It's nothing like the xylene based stuff I was using back in the States but it seems to work well & it's all I could find here (@ Do Home). Be careful though; I poured next to our tiled  steps & of course got some concrete splatter on the tile & inadvertently sealed it. It really hardened it on there;-( Getting it on painted surfaces isn't a issue, it can easily be touched up over with paint.

Concrete is slightly water permeable. Is that a problem outside?

The trouble with coating things is that some time they may need recoating.

Additives are better IN the concrete.

We sealed the pool walls and floor with SikaTop Seal.
Two part mixture you can brush on or trowel on.
I used it before we tiled, but it may not be the right stuff if you just want a seal for the top of the concrete and leave it.
