There are many benefits to utilising concrete as a flooring surface. It is durable, easy to maintain and resistant to wear and tear.
Like all things, concrete does have some weaknesses, and external and environmental factors can compromise your concrete’s robust structure from either poor maintenance or when left untreated for long periods.

Concrete can be negatively affected by factors such as:
- UV exposure
- Dirt and grime
- Extreme weather
- Organic matter
- Oils and chemicals
- Pollutants and contaminants
- Bacterias and more
The best way to protect your concrete surface is to apply a sealant that is recommended for the type of concrete installed on your property. Concrete sealant is not a “one size fits all” scenario, which is why it is best to have your concrete inspected and sealed by a professional over applying DIY treatments.
Depending on the kind of concrete surface in question, examples of sealants that may be required include:
Penetrating sealants
FIlm-forming sealants
Siloxane concrete sealer
Acrylic
sealant
Water-based
Solvent-based
Epoxy sealant and more
Once the correct sealant has been identified and applied, it is suggested that your concrete sealant is re-applied approximately every 2-5 years. Our team of highly-trained concrete professionals can choose the best kind of sealant for your concrete type, and ensure your concrete is protected with a quality guarantee.

Benefits of concrete sealer
Aside from adding protection and ensuring the longevity of your concrete surfaces, there is a range of other benefits to sealing and maintaining your concrete surfaces.
Easy to clean
Sealing your concrete makes cleaning a breeze. It is much easier to remove dirt and debris, as well as spills and stains. This also helps to reduce your water consumption which helps in lowering overheads, while also protecting one of Australia’s most precious resources.
Slip-resistant
Some sealants can also double as added grip on stairs and ramps offering added safety around your property. This is important on both residential and commercial properties alike, where there are access points for wheelchair and ambulant customers, clients, staff, occupants or visitors.
Mould and mildew resistance
Mould and mildew build-up not only detracts from your concretes aesthetic, but it can also compromise the longevity of your concrete surfaces. The sealant closes off the open concrete pores where mould and mildew thrive, therefore reducing growth and coverage across the expanse of your concrete flooring and outdoor areas.
Adds property value
Applying and maintaining concrete sealant can add resale value to your property by protecting valuable surfaces and improving the overall appearance of your building and fixtures.
Professional concrete sealing is more affordable than you may think and will save you significantly in the long run by protecting your investment.
