Concrete is one of the most popular construction materials around, and for good reason: It’s affordable, structurally sound, and versatile enough to use for everything from garage floors and retaining walls to kitchen countertops and decorative objects. While sturdy and durable on its own, it does require some protection, such as a silicone-based surface sealant like Quikrete’s Concrete & Masonry Waterproofing Sealer, to waterproof the surface and keep it looking freshly poured. Without this important finish to any concrete project, all your hard work will be much more susceptible to damage. Moisture and temperature fluctuations can cause cracks to develop in exterior concrete over time, while everyday wear and tear can stain and scratch interior concrete. Fortunately, an easy, early-on application will go a long way toward safeguarding concrete from these stresses. Keep reading to learn how to seal concrete with quality products so you can rest easy that your finished project will keep on looking fresh for years to come.
