The main purpose of sealing is to prevent water from soaking into surfaces
A surface that is sealed will last much longer than other surfaces
Sealing is a very common measure taken to prevent costly problems down the line
Concrete staining is the process of applying a stain or colorant to the surface of concrete to enhance its appearance. Stains penetrate the surface of the concrete, chemically reacting with the minerals in the concrete to create permanent color changes. There are two main types of stains: acid-based stains, which produce earthy tones, and water-based stains, which offer a wider range of colors and are more versatile.
Yes, concrete staining is generally permanent because the stain penetrates the concrete and chemically bonds with it. This creates a lasting color that doesn't peel, chip, or fade easily. However, the durability can depend on the type of stain used, the quality of the concrete, and the conditions the surface is exposed to (like heavy foot traffic or harsh weather).
You can stain both new and existing concrete. However, for the best results, existing concrete should be clean and properly prepared. This may involve pressure washing, etching the surface, or repairing any cracks or imperfections before applying the stain. New concrete generally provides a more uniform and consistent surface for staining, but older concrete can also look stunning with the right preparation.
Maintaining stained concrete involves regular cleaning and occasional resealing. Sweep or vacuum to remove dirt and debris, and wash the surface with a mild detergent and water. Resealing should be done every 1–3 years, depending on the amount of foot traffic and exposure to elements, to protect the stain and keep the surface looking vibrant. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
