Concrete Sealing
Whether your driveway is gray concrete, coloured concrete, exposed aggregate concrete, stamped or stenciled, sealing after the concrete has been cleaned and every few years after is recommended as part of the maintenance routine.
Our range of sealing options
Water Based
- a water-based penetrating sealer works by penetrating deep into the concrete to form an invisible film of silicone on the internal surface of the substrate.
- once sealed the surface will repel water and will be easier to keep clean
- natural look - it will provide invisible protection without changing the appearance of the surface.
- a water based sealer is a better choice where good traction is important. it does not leave a glossy finish and will not contribute to the slipperiness of the concrete surface.
- the sealing process using this product is completed in the same day
Solvent Based
- our solvent based sealer has been developed from a selected blend of resins to provide a durable, non-yellowing, protective coating
- decorative 'wet look' finish
- sealer dries to a clear, hard, water repellent non-yellowing film, which has excellent resistance to most contaminants, preventing staining and dirt impregnation. the sealer enhances the oxide colours and exposed stones used in the various types of cement based paving.
- not suitable for areas that are steep as it can become slippery
- this product is recommended to be reapplied every 2 years or so depending on conditions and use.
- the process generally requires 2 days to complete
Coloured Sealer
- a tint is added to the sealer to give a coloured finish

Why seal your concrete?
Sealing a concrete driveway can be compared to waxing your car or wearing sunscreen.
A sealer will improve your driveway's appearance, keep uv rays from causing it to fade and protect it from stains. a sealer will keep water from sinking into the driveway.
Your driveway will be subjected to many things in the great outdoors that can leave unsightly stains on the surface – leaves, dirt, fertiliser, pet urine, oil, tire tracks and much more. A sealer will keep all of the above from penetrating the surface of the concrete and leaving unsightly stains.
Not only will a sealer increase the longevity of the concrete it also adds value to your home by reducing spalling, flaking and cracking, improving the appearance of your home curb appeal.
**please note if your driveway or concrete area has already been sealed, the same product will need to be applied to the surface. not sure what type of sealer is on it? we can inspect the surface and let you know what type it is and what the options are.
Cleaning and Sealing
WHAT IS THE PROCESS
STEP ONE
High pressure clean of the concrete area which is to be sealed. We will then allow this to dry before applying the sealer.
STEP TWO
Application of the first coat of sealer. The area is taped off to ensure it is kept clear and free from cars etc.
STEP THREE
Allow the first coat to dry
STEP FOUR
Apply second coat of sealer. The area is to remain free from cars, furniture, pots etc for 48 hours so it does not get marked or damaged. The area can be driven on but not parked on for 7 days.
