A concrete sealer is applied to pattern imprinted concrete to keep it looking good and importantly to preserve the imprinted concrete surface from wearing away. It also helps to stop pollutants penetrating the surface. A PIC sealer also protects against unsightly oil stains, weeds, moss, green algae and frost damaging the concrete surface during the freeze thaw cycle that a harsh winter can bring.
Why it’s important to keep imprinted concrete sealed
It is essential that the surface of coloured decorative concrete is kept in good order with a good quality concrete sealer. This is because if the existing sealant is allowed to wear away and it is not replaced, the imprinted concrete slab itself will begin to wear causing damage to the coloured printed concrete that is hard to repair. Imprinted concrete sealers come in many kinds but the most popular choice is an acrylic. Polyurethane ones are available but are more expensive and are not often used with this kind of surface. You can buy acrylic sealers in matt, silk and gloss finishes.
If you have a damaged concrete surface that the colour has worn away you can buy a coloured sealer to re-colour the concrete surface making it look new again.
