V-SEAL Expert Recommendations:

For patios that are long-lasting and have great decorative appeal, V‑SEAL recommends the combination of penetrating sealers, which permanently bond with porous concrete or masonry offering strength, stain resistance and protection, and topical coatings, which offer additional protection as well as color enhancement and visually-appealing finishes. V‑SEAL 101 or 102 can be applied with a pump sprayer or roller. 102 is particularly suited well for broom finished concrete and rough masonry. Industra-Gloss 350 Low are topical coatings that are available in multiple colors and are perfect for decorative enhancement.

Suggested Product Types:

Penetrating Sealers:
Crystallize minerals in the substrate just below the surface. V-SEAL offers sealers that are hydrophobic and oleophobic.

Topical Sealers:
Form a membrane layer over the substrate surface adding protection from moisture stains, chemicals, grease, gas, oils, and adding decorative elements such as high shine or color.
