Sealing stamped concrete helps preserve its color by locking it in. Sealers provide protection against UV rays, which can cause colors to fade over time. However, once the sealer wears off—typically after a few years—the concrete loses that protection. Without the sealer, the concrete becomes porous and more prone to staining. By sealing your stamped concrete patio, driveway, or pool deck, you ensure it remains vibrant and well-maintained for years to come.

Another key reason to seal is to protect against freeze-thaw cycles, which can cause cracking or surface damage. The sealer we use makes your concrete water-resistant, preventing water from seeping into its pores and expanding during freezing temperatures. This is especially important in Ohio’s climate.

Additionally, sealing stamped concrete helps guard against salt damage. While sealing provides significant protection, we still recommend using a salt alternative that’s safe for concrete during winter months.
