What is sealed concrete?

Sealed concrete is a flooring solution where a protective sealer is applied to the surface of the concrete, enhancing its durability, appearance, and resistance to wear. This system is ideal for both residential and commercial spaces that need long-lasting protection without the need for a full resinous or polished system. Sealed concrete helps maintain the concrete's natural aesthetic while providing superior resistance to stains, moisture, and abrasion.

our sealed concrete systems

At Floor Logic Pro, we offer a variety of sealed concrete solutions to meet your needs, including different types of sealers and finishes. Our systems are designed to maximize the lifespan and appearance of your floors by utilizing advanced techniques like densification and burnishing. Here are some of the sealed concrete options we provide:

• Densification & Sealing: Densification is the process of chemically treating the concrete to make it more durable, reducing porosity and increasing surface hardness. After densification, we apply a high-quality sealer that penetrates the surface to protect against stains and moisture.

• Burnished Sealed Concrete: In some cases, we add burnishing to the process to create a smooth, reflective finish. Burnishing involves using a high-speed buffer to polish the floor after sealing, adding sheen and enhancing the overall appearance. This process is ideal for spaces that require both protection and aesthetic appeal, such as commercial and industrial spaces.

• Waterproof Sealers: For areas where moisture exposure is a concern, such as basements or warehouses, we offer waterproof sealing options. These sealers form a barrier that prevents water from seeping into the concrete, protecting the integrity of the floor.

• Gloss & Matte Finishes: Whether you prefer a high-gloss shine or a more subtle matte look, we offer a range of finishes to suit your style and functional needs. Both options provide excellent protection, while the matte finish offers a more understated, natural look.

• Stain & Oil-Resistant Sealers: If you’re looking to protect your concrete floor from staining agents like oils, chemicals, or food spills, we offer specialty stain-resistant sealers. These are particularly useful in kitchens, garages, and industrial facilities where such hazards are common.

Why sealed concrete is beneficial

Sealed concrete is an excellent solution for improving the lifespan and appearance of your concrete floors. This system offers a number of advantages:

• Enhanced Durability: Sealing the concrete helps to reduce wear and tear, making the surface more resilient to heavy foot traffic, chemicals, and stains.

• Protection from Moisture: Sealed concrete systems, especially those with densification, provide a barrier that prevents moisture from entering the surface, which helps prevent cracks, staining, or damage.

• Low Maintenance: Unlike other flooring systems that require frequent maintenance, sealed concrete is low-maintenance. Cleaning is easy, and a quick sweep or mop is usually all that’s needed to keep the floor looking its best.

• Cost-Effective: Sealed concrete is a more affordable solution compared to other flooring options. It enhances the longevity of the existing concrete without needing a full replacement or extensive modifications.

• Aesthetic Flexibility: Whether you prefer a glossy, reflective finish or a more natural matte appearance, sealed concrete allows for customization to match the style of any commercial, residential, or industrial space.

our process

1. Consultation & Surface Assessment – We begin by assessing the condition of your concrete floor and discussing your needs and preferences. This helps us determine the best sealing system for your space.

2. Surface Preparation – We thoroughly prepare the concrete by cleaning, grinding, or repairing any imperfections. Proper preparation ensures that the sealer adheres effectively and that the floor’s surface is properly treated.

3. Densification – To enhance the concrete’s durability and resistance, we apply a densifying solution. This strengthens the concrete, reduces porosity, and makes the floor more resistant to damage.

4. Sealing – Once the concrete has been densified, we apply a high-quality sealer designed to protect the floor from stains, moisture, and wear. Depending on your needs, we can offer both penetrating and surface sealers for enhanced protection.

5. Burnishing (Optional) – If desired, we can add burnishing to the process to create a smooth, glossy finish that enhances the appearance of the floor. This step is ideal for commercial spaces that need to maintain a polished look.

6. Final Inspection & Maintenance – We finish by inspecting the floor to ensure it meets your expectations. Regular maintenance can help extend the lifespan of the sealer, and we offer guidance on how to care for your newly sealed concrete floor.
