2023 Super Seal 30 Review

As of 2023, we have found that the Super Seal 30 Gloss is one of the most popular sealers for Stamped Concrete, Brick Pavers, and other Decorative Concrete Surfaces. If you have any questions on the Super Seal 30 product, please ask below in our Q&A area. We are here to help!


SuperSeal30 is a Higher Gloss Concrete Sealer that can be used for many different types of concrete surfaces. SuperSeal30 is very popular for Brick Paver Patios, Exposed Aggregate, and Stamped Concrete. This sealer will darken the appearance and leave a shine.

The SuperSeal30 is a solvent-based breathable acrylic sealer.

SuperSeal30 Paver and Concrete Sealer Scores (1-10)

Wet Look: 10

– SuperSeal30 contains 30% solid content of acrylic. It darkened our 4-year-old paver patio as if wet with water and stayed that way after drying. Enhanced the natural red and brown tones in our paver bricks.

Gloss Level: 8

– The high solid content of the SuperSeal gave our paver patio a high gloss shine. The overall appearance on our test patio was quite rich looking but not too shiny that it looked “fake”. The sealer was slightly slippery for the first couple of weeks when it rained but after full curing, that was not an issue.

Joint Sand Hardening: 8

– SuperSeal30 is very thick in consistency. While it did harden the sand between the pavers, it did not harden as well as some of the water-based versions. Due to the thickness of the sealer, it did not penetrate as deeply into the sand. The top 1/2 inch of the sand had hardened.

Fading/Wearing After 2 Years: 7

– SuperSeal30 gets our best score when it comes to fading from the sun’s UV. It did fade evenly with no wearing. About 70% of the gloss and wet look remained at the 2-year mark.

White Haze/Yellowing: 10

– There was no visible white hazing or yellowing of the sealer after 2 years.

Overall Score SuperSeal30 at 2 Year Period: 8.6

– SuperSeal30 is an excellent sealer for brick pavers and other decorative surfaces. It does what it is supposed to do by adding a rich look to the surface without any side effects. Future maintenance would be easy with light cleaning and re-coat. We like that it is a breathable styrene acrylic. This greatly reduces any chance of hazing due to trapped moisture.

I seal my stamped concrete every year, but in the last 3-4 years after it is installed and dry it begins to develop air bubbles in a day or two after it is installed. I used to roll it on with a sponge sectional roller, and now I use a sprayer to spray sealer on ,then roll it before it drys. I still get air bubbles. What is causing this as I never had an issue years ago with this happening and I’m still using the same product.

Ill get with kemico then. It seems putting tape over the sealer is not such a good idea before waxing floor as sealer and stain was removed when we pulled up the painters tape. Now I am in rework and hoping to use something not so toxic. My daughter in law has major allergies.

I am told that because SS30 is breathable it can be applied to freshly laid concrete pavers without any issues. Is this correct? Everywhere I look it says you need to wait 30-60 days before sealing new pavers to allow the chemicals and dies in them to come out?

We just repaired cracks in our aggregate concrete driveway. This has left the cracks and surrounding area with a lighter cement color strips. Our driveway is old and has never been sealed. Cement has darkened in color over the years. I was wondering if Super Seal 30 sealant, either clear or brown color, can help blend the repaired cracks with rest of the driveway. If so, what would be the best procedure for applying the sealant? Thanks for your assistance.

Hello, We had our slab poured for our house, and concrete guy put a slick surface on it and then sealed it with Super Seal 30 within a day or 2. A few areas seemed to have rings where either sealant pooled or water pooled (rain), and flaking around those ares. After lots of crews have been working for the past 4 months, the floor is fairly scratched, and will need to be sealed. We want to leave it natural, no stain, but DO want to put another coat of something on. I was thinking about a Densifier / Sealant… Read more »

Yes. Sadly, it’s already down.

Are there any other options aside from fully stripping it to get a nice looking finish (no scratches) over the top of the SS30?

If stripping is required, and pressure washing is out because it’s in my house, what do you recommend?

Thank you for your help!

The home we purchased was sealed using polymeric sand and a water based (Seal N’ Lock Super Wet) sealant. After a few years, it has gotten very dull. Are there any downsides to switching to solvent-based vs Water-based? I want vibrant colors from my pavers. Live in Tampa, FL.

We have stained concrete floors in our 20+ year old home that have not been well maintained for the last few years. The sealer has worn away and even color is starting to wear off in a few places in the kitchen. I believe the Super Seal 30 is the original sealant that was used, so I’d planned to re-apply some this weekend. However, my husband is very sensitive to odors and my pregnant daughter is supposed to come for the weekend. I can’t remember–does the Super Seal 30 have a very bad smell? And will it be toxic to… Read more »

We have colored stamped concrete that has lost some of its original color and we’d like to stain it once we’ve removed all the old sealer. Can SuoerSeal 30 be applied over stained concrete? Does it have to be a specific type of stain? Water or oil based?

Hi. I just read directions for this product. At

It states:

II. When Not to Use:

B. Not recommended on brick.

Brick is like a sponge. If water can gain access to surface other than sealed
surface, sun will pull moisture out of brick and will form a milky appearance
under the sealer. Looks like a thermal pane window where seal has failed and
moisture frosts the glass.

Yet pretty much all ads show using it on pavers?

Please advise.
Thanks,
