Avoid These Errors While Sealing Your Stamped Concrete Floor
It is necessary to seal a concrete floor. While concrete floor sealing sounds like an easy job, you must be aware that there are mistakes that would ruin the concrete floor project. Here are common mistakes you need to know.
Many DIYers prefer a glossy finish. They like the cheapest sealer they could find. However, it’s not the best way to find the right sealer product for a concrete floor. Ask questions about the product you like before you purchase. Also, don't ignore dirt, and grime. Perhaps the first step in sealing the concrete floor is thoroughly cleaning the surface. You should use hard-bristled scrub in brushing the floor to remove all grime that does not come off quickly with just a simple washing. Fill the cracks and holes and remove oil stains. Whether you roll or spray it on, always apply the sealer evenly. It quickly dries, and there will be no room for error. Don’t apply thick sealer, as it should dry quickly. Using too much could compromise the concrete floor’s effectiveness. You must always wear protective equipment. Sealing concrete also requires wearing heavy-duty clothing, safety goggles, and gloves. You should also wear a protective mask and try not to breathe in the fumes. The chemicals are harmful if it touches your skin. .
