Stamped Concrete and Exposed Aggregate Restoration Tips

Stamped Concrete Advice

A sealer should be applied to a stamped concrete or exposed aggregate surface every 2-3 years. This will help restore the look while curing and protecting the stained surface. In most cases, a Wet-Look ConcreteSealer is desired.

Stamped Concrete Sealing

1. Clean the surface to remove all dirt, grime, and stains. Pressure Washers make the process quicker. If you need a cleaner, please see this list: Concrete Cleaners.
2. Removing a failed sealer may be needed if the coating has turned white or yellow: Paver and Concrete Sealer Stripper
3. Allow the area to dry completely. It usually takes 1 or 2 days.
4. Remove any dirt or debris prior to sealing. Never apply a sealer to a wet surface!
5. The easiest way to apply a sealer is with a roller. For best results, use a nap of 1/2″ to 3/4″.
6. Dry time can take a few hours. Make sure that cars stay off the area longer. Usually, 24 hours is best.
