Why Use Concrete Sealer?
You may be wondering, “Do I really need a concrete sealer? Can I put it off? Is it just a waste of money?”
Put simply, the answer is “Yes, you do need it. No, you can’t afford to wait.”
Like any good investment, you must take care of your property. Concrete is man-made and used in a lot of places such as pavements, concrete bridges, and floors.
However, like most things, if not maintained it can wear out.
For example, you’ve probably walked on a pavement that is beginning to crack. It naturally degrades from exposure to the elements.
If you seal your concrete, you can prevent dampness, mould, and mildew in your home. This will also help you avoid any potential disasters, such as slipping or falling while carrying a load of groceries into your home.
Why not take preventative measures now rather than incurring damages that will cost more in the long run?
What to Damp Proof & Seal Concrete With
RFC Epoxy Damp Proof Membrane is a two-component applied surface floor primer. You can brush it onto the concrete and it will adhere to damp surfaces. After it dries, a barrier will exist that protects against the moisture from below.
This will solve your worries about a damp basement, garage, or cellar! You can then follow this up with a sealer that will add a decorative element to the floor and reduce dust.
Should you not require a DPM you can prime and paint your floor with an all in one product like RFC Concrete Floor Paint. With this product, 2 coats are vital to prime and then add the decorative finish.
What to Do Before Sealing Concrete Floors
Once you’ve decided that you are going to seal your concrete floor, there are some things you need to do.
Before sealing your concrete, you’re going to want to clean it first. The surface of the concrete is porous, so you want to make sure you remove the dirt and grease first.
By preparing it for the sealing process, you will save yourself time and energy. All that remains is to hire a contractor or buy a suitable product yourself!
