Finding a concrete sealer can be daunting with all the options out there. We put in the research time so you don’t have to! This know-how video will run through your options and outline the use cases for each type of product. This is a helpful video in and of itself, but it is also the 2nd of three videos on sealing concrete:

Part 1 – Cleaning Concrete (   • How to Clean Concrete | Part 1 – Seal...  )
Part 2 – Choosing a Concrete Sealer
Part 3 – Sealing Your Concrete (   • Applying Concrete Sealer | Part 3 – S...  )
Bonus - Sealing New Concrete (   • Sealing New Concrete | Bonus Video – ...  )

In this video we’ll cover four primary types of sealers:
1. Penetrating sealers
2. Acrylic sealers
3. Polyurethanes
4. Epoxies

We spend the bulk of the time covering the maze of penetrating sealers. Primarily due to these being the best choice for residential, outdoor concrete where you don’t want the appearance or surface of the concrete altered. They are super easy to apply, will prolong the life of you concrete, and make annual cleaning a whole lot easier!

Polyaspartic sealers are not covered in this video. Mainly, due to these not being a very DIY friendly product. Application can be quite tricky.
