Topical Floor Sealants

A garage floor receiving light to moderate traffic would require a topical sealant. Topical sealers bond with the concrete surface creating a protective layer.

Penetrating Floor Sealants

This type of floor sealer penetrates deep into the concrete floor forming a chemical barrier for protection against moisture including gasoline and oil leaks.

Penetrating floor sealants do not alter the appearance of the concrete surface. Siloxanes, silanes, siliconates, and silicates are the most common penetrating floor sealants. They are applied with a pump sprayer and require only one coat to provide protection.
