How to Choose a Concrete Sealer

Key takeaways

  • Penetrating sealers keep the natural look
  • Film-forming sealers add sheen and color depth
  • Clean the slab before sealing
  • Reseal every few years, depending on wear

A sealer is the cheapest insurance a slab can have.

Penetrating sealers

They soak in and protect without changing the look much.

Film-forming sealers

They sit on top, deepen color and add sheen, from satin to glossy.

Prep and renewal

Clean the slab first. Plan to reseal every few years, depending on traffic and weather.
