What Sealer is Best for Stamped Concrete Patios
Stamped Concrete Patios and Driveways are decorative surfaces that have become popular in the last 10 years or so. These surfaces utilize patterns and different colors to create a dramatic look to your landscaping. As with any exterior concrete surface, Stamped patios need to be maintained on a consistent basis.
Failure to maintain your Stamped Concrete will result in:
- Color loss and discoloration
- Pitting of the surface
- Hairline cracks
- Exposure to stains from spills
We suggest Solvent Based Acrylic Wet Look Sealers as the best type of sealer for your Stamped Concrete Patio. If possible, find a “Styrene” acrylic sealer as these sealers act as a Cure and Seal while minimizing the chance of a white haze.
Solvent Based Acrylic (Styrene) Sealers
These are durable, but breathable sealers for Stamped Concrete. Styrene sealers are high in acrylic solids and will darken the surface like wet with water while leaving a Matte or Gloss sheen. These sealers are less prone to trapping moisture which may lead to the dreaded white haze.

I have colored stamped concrete around the pool and on sidewalk. I need to reseal this spring, what do you recommend that I can add shark grip to. Surface has been extremely slick in the past with sealing from professionals (even with shark grip). Most sealer is now gone, should shark grip be added to each coat of sealer? thanks Beth
Hi Beth, you just need one coat. Look at Masonry Saver Decorative Concrete Sealer or Supre Seal 25. You should be able to add the grip into ot.
I have a old stamped concrete patio that I reseal every 2-3 years. Previously used Crystal Clear. This year they suggested Diamond Clear. Is one better than the other?
Never used or heard of crystal clear. Sorry.
I have a stamped concrete patio. Last year we hired someone to put a sealer on it to brighten it up. It bubbled all over
Mary, you may need to strip it off and start over: https://www.concretesealerreview.com/how-to-fix-c…
Just had a new driveway poured…exposed aggregate with fiberglass reinforcing pellets….
Super Diamond Clear and Diamond Clear and Luster Seal were all suggested, but reviews so far here on the first two arent that good and I cant find the last one anyways.
I really dont WANT a super shiny appearance, and I don't want it to be slippery!
So, what sealer can I use that will seal, stay looking good and stand up to driveway use and abuse like fluids , tires etc ?
Do you want no shine or some shine? Supreme Shield SB-600 has a wet look but without the shine. Super Seal Matte has the wet look and a Matte shine.
Are patio looks real bad. We have putting, white haze and discoloration. How do we get the sealer off and start over. Help!
Hi Sherry, use the Concrete Sealer Stripper by Clemons and pressure washing. After full removal, do a final prep with the Clemons Concrete Cleaner Degreaser.
I have a four year old pattern concrete patio facing direct west and gets a lot of sun.Last year had it redone with half xylene and half sealer .At first it looked great But, now it has white blotches everywhere. What should we do?
Strip and start over by removing the sealer that is discoloring.
