Frequently Asked Questions about Sealed Concrete Floors
Sealed concrete is concrete that has had a protective material added. Sealers protect from stains and wear as well as eliminate dusting. Some sealers can enhance the color of the concrete.
There are two types of concrete sealers: film-forming and non-film-forming. Film-forming sealers are the most common and include acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane sealers. Non-film-forming sealers, such as siliconate sealers and concrete densifiers, fully penetrate the concrete surface for protection from within.
The service life of a concrete sealer varies based on the type and application. High-solids epoxy or polyurethane floors can last 10 years or more, while outdoor solvent-based acrylic sealed floors may need resealing as often as every two years.
Stained concrete floors require little maintenance. They should be dust-mopped and cleaned regularly with a pH-neutral cleaner. When sealed concrete floors show clear signs of wear, resealing may be required.
Film-forming sealed concrete finishes are slippery when wet. If this is an issue, slip additives such as glass beads, sand, or poly flake may be added to the sealer. For high-traffic use-cases, walk-off mats can be incorporated into the sealed concrete floors at doorways to reduce water intrusion onto the floor.
Yes, certain concrete sealers can be installed as a DIY project. Water-based and penetrating sealers are the easiest to apply and may suit DIYers. However, other systems, especially those requiring extensive surface preparation, are often too complex for DIY installation, and access to specialized equipment can be challenging.
Yes, sealed concrete floors are considered eco-friendly because they utilize the existing concrete slab to create a finished floor. However, it is important to choose a sealer with low or no VOCs. Reduced maintenance waste and reduced lighting requirements due to reflectivity also contribute to sealed concrete’s environmental benefits.
The price of a sealed concrete floor is highly variable. Basic sealed concrete floors can be as inexpensive as $1 a square foot, while multi-layer epoxy floor systems can cost $10 or more a square foot.
Sealed concrete floors offer a durable, attractive finish for outdoor spaces like patios. They’re comfortable underfoot, easy to clean, and stain-resistant.
