In the world of concrete floors, the topcoat or sealer is the finishing touch! But that finishing touch is not a “one type fits all” scenario. Nevada Custom Coatings typically uses two different types of sealers for concrete and you can choose the one that best fits your floor.
Acrylic Sealers
Many people in Reno choose to enliven their concrete with a color stain or concrete polish. To prevent fading, you want an acrylic sealant. Acrylic sealers are water repellent and resist ultraviolet light, making sure any colors added to the concrete stay vibrant. They are also lightweight, so they work best for areas with minimal traffic. This is a good choice for home foyers, display areas, showrooms, or the like.
Epoxy Sealers
When you need a heavy-duty finishing touch, there’s no better choice than using an epoxy sealer. They are designed to be thicker than acrylic, making them perfect for high traffic areas or places with heavy vehicles or equipment. Like acrylic sealers, epoxy sealers are resistant to ultraviolet light. But where acrylic sealers are merely water resistant, epoxy sealers are fully waterproof. They even protect against harsh chemical liquids, oils, gouges, and scrapes. Acrylic has the dazzle, but epoxy has the strength.
