Protecting Your Driveway, Garage Floor, or Patio Starts Here
Concrete is tough—but it’s not invincible. Between harsh Kansas City winters, UV rays, oil spills, and daily wear and tear, untreated concrete can break down faster than you think. That’s where sealers come in. But with so many options out there, how do you know which one’s best—and how often should you even apply it?
Let’s break it down.
Types of Concrete Sealers (And Why Not All Are Equal)
- Acrylic Sealers – Great for a quick, budget-friendly solution. These typically need to be reapplied every 1–3 years.
- Penetrating Sealers – Ideal for freeze/thaw climates, they soak into the concrete and protect from within. Reapplication usually needed every 5–10 years.
- Epoxy or Urethane Sealers – Durable and often used in garages or commercial spaces, but they can be slippery and expensive. Lifespan: 5–7 years depending on use.
- Permanent Sealers – Now we’re talking. These advanced solutions chemically bond with your concrete for long-term protection that doesn’t require reapplication every few years.
How Often Should You Seal Your Concrete?
Traditionally, sealers need to be reapplied every few years depending on the type, traffic, and exposure. But we’re changing that.
At Burton’s Construction, we now offer a permanent concrete sealer—a one-time application that protects your surface from moisture, salt, stains, and deterioration for decades. No need to remember to reseal every few years or spend thousands over time.
Why This Matters
A good sealer:
- Protects your investment
- Prevents cracks and surface damage
- Repels oil, water, salt, and chemicals
- Enhances the look of your concrete
