To protect and improve a garage floor, it is best to use a penetrating concrete garage floor sealer in Las Vegas, followed by a topical coating. Chemicals in penetrating sealers stick to the substrate just below the surface and topical coatings cover the substrate surface with a membrane that keeps water, chemicals, grease, gas, and oils out. Topical coatings can also add artistic features such as color or high shine.
Penetrating Sealers
A general penetrating concrete sealer is best for smooth concrete that doesn’t need to change its look. Most people use a penetrating concrete garage floor sealer in Las Vegas because it repels water and other liquids. It makes an internal membrane barrier that is cross-linked and insoluble. This barrier will only wear away if the base wears away below the sealer penetration.
If you want to polish smooth concrete, you need a penetrating finish that will strengthen the surface and keep dirt and stains away. The best part is that a penetrating sealer can be rolled or sprayed onto the concrete floor.
Topical Coatings
A concrete and urethane kit is the best way to improve the look of your garage floor and make it safer. The kits come with a two-part epoxy that sticks well to concrete and is resistant to chemicals, as well as a two-part urethane finish that makes the concrete more resistant to wear, heat, and UV light. Some of these kits give things a pretty wet look, while the solid-color kits give things a painted-on look.
