When Should I Seal My Concrete?
Be Sure to Seal Your Concrete This Year
Concrete is a durable building material that is used for foundations, retaining walls, driveways, sidewalks, and patios. It can withstand heavy loads, constant use, and the weather for a long time. However, it is always a good idea to give your concrete some extra protection. That is what using a sealant does. Sealant is a layer of protection that guards against water absorption, abrasion, UV rays, and oil. Your concrete can become easily damaged over time by these substances. So, using a sealer is something you will want to do.
So, you may be asking, “When should I seal my concrete?”. The answer is that it is entirely up to you. Most concrete sealers require that your concrete cures before you seal it. Concrete generally takes up to 28 days to fully cure. So, you will have to wait until then to apply your sealer. After that, you can seal it whenever you want. We always say the sooner the better. You want to have your concrete protected as quickly as possible to maximize its effectiveness.
