SEALERS AND COATINGS FOR OUTDOOR CONCRETE

Choosing and renewing the right sealer is the best way to maximize the long life of an outdoor concrete structure, from a driveway to the counters of a poolside bar. Although builders generally project a life of 30 years or more for an outdoor concrete structure, weather and other environmental factors affect the concrete’s condition during its lifetime. Seasonal freezing and thawing cycles, poor water drainage, and environmental chemical content all contribute to outdoor concrete deterioration.

Choosing the right sealer is as important as choosing the right exterior finishes for your property’s walls, roofs, and landscaping. Sealers keep your concrete structures clean and easy to maintain. Like other exterior protective coatings, concrete sealers anticipate and solve problems before they begin, enhancing curb appeal and increasing value to prospective owners.

Clear sealers can add visual depth and gloss while protecting structures from wear. Use colored sealers to define areas, like your pool deck or children’s play area, to integrate your home into its natural surroundings and to signal the excellent level of maintenance future purchasers can expect throughout your property.

DAMAGE FACTORS

The fluid essential to transforming dry ingredients into durable structures is also the major agent of its long-term deterioration. Water expands and contracts during freeze/thaw weather cycles with enough force to damage concrete’s structural integrity.

Both weather and groundwater create water problems. Water is the vehicle for damaging chemicals like ice melt, and it can render naturally occurring soil salts more corrosive to concrete. Sealers use one of two strategies to address water damage: repellence and respiration. Originally focused on creating an impermeable waterproof surface, sealers increasingly focus on penetrating surfaces while allowing the natural dissipation of accumulated water.

Sealers also address the ultraviolet light damage. Just as paint fades on siding, color in sealants and the surfaces they protect can be different by light exposure. An experienced professional can advise you on which strategy makes the most sense for sealing concrete on your property and provide information on how often your choice of sealer will need renewal.

Less expensive acrylic sealers may need reapplication every couple of years, while epoxy or polyurea sealers may last up to 10 years between applications.

WATER-BASED VS SOLVENT-BASED SEALERS

In fact, The range of concrete sealers available in any area controls by US Environmental Protection Agency and local environmental agency regulations for paints, varnishes, sealants, and all other interior and exterior “architectural coatings.” In the case of sealers, the regulation aims to limit adverse reactions between petroleum-based polymers and their surroundings.

Responsible manufacturers respond with water-based solvents, new color-stabilization strategies, and new formulations to improve the bonding between sealer and concrete. Most sealers come in both water-based and petroleum-solvent-based formulas. For example, an innovative manufacturer like SureCrete Design Products will address multiple issues in a single product.

Your pool deck may share common problems, but their configuration is unique: full-day blazing sun, frequent sharp temperature fluctuations, alkaline soil, that funny runoff spot from the garage roof, lots of child swimmers, and a California address.

Therefore, a deck sealer must address UV-light, temperature-fluctuation, breathability, and safe-footing problems. Experienced professionals can provide a product that addresses your complexity of problems with balance and solid knowledge.

A BEAUTIFUL JOB

Lastly, With technical issues under good control, you can concentrate on the beauty good sealers bring to your outdoor concrete. Enhance its resemblance to stone with clear or colored sealers, from matte-finish to high-gloss. Use pigmented sealers in local natural colors to integrate your patio into its surroundings or define your pool as an oasis.

Finally, Use color to make your terrace and entry paving an extension of your house. Define your outdoor dining area, children’s play yard, and pool area with the exciting colors and textures you can create with sealers. SureCrete offers custom-color mixing and can match products to the palette of major paint manufacturers.
