Yucaipa, CA (PRWEB) May 16, 2008 -- No decorative concrete installation is complete without the application of a concrete sealer. The Concrete Network offers a new concrete sealer buyer's guide with tips on purchasing the right type of sealer for specific decorative concrete installations along with overviews of sealer types, their uses and much more.
Concrete Sealer Application
Once a decorative concrete floor is installed, whether it is a stamped pool deck or patio, an interlocking paver driveway or a stained floor, proper maintenance and protection with the right concrete sealer is key in keeping the floor spectacular for many years while extending its service life.
Sealers fall into two broad categories: penetrating sealers and film forming sealers. Penetrating sealers react chemically within the capillaries of the concrete to shield against moisture penetration and deicing chemicals. They are most commonly used to improve the durability of exterior concrete surfaces subject to corrosion and freeze-thaw damage.
The second category, film-forming sealers, are most often used for decorative concrete work, and they do just what the name implies - form a protective film on the surface of the concrete. Within this category there are three main types, acrylics, polyurethanes and epoxies.
