Concrete floor sealers are intended to enhance and protect the appearance as well as the water-resistance of concrete flooring. A good coating gives concrete an durable layer of protection against heavy traffic, abrasion, chemicals, and moisture exposure. It also beautifies the surface, simplifies maintenance and improves skid resistance. Most sealers also reduce the pitting, cracks, and stains.
