How to Seal Concrete Surfaces

How to Seal Concrete Surfaces 2023

We at Concrete Sealer Review are proud to be a trusted source for concrete and brick paver sealer professional tips and advice through 2023. Here we have an updated tutorial on how to seal your concrete surfaces. If you have sealed a concrete surface or have any questions, feel free to leave us a comment below.


Concrete is a very versatile material that can be used in many applications. It is most commonly used for driveways, sidewalks, porches, and patios. It can also be used for retaining walls, landscape edging, and other areas of construction. Concrete can last a very long time if it is maintained and protected from the elements. Unprotected concrete, especially in northern areas, can be subjected to freeze and thaw damage during the colder months. This most commonly causes cracking, chipping, and heaving of the concrete.

Ideally, you want to maintain the nice level clean surface that the concrete was when it was new. To stop any damaging effects it is important to maintain the concrete in several ways. First, the concrete needs to be cleaned periodically. This will remove contaminants such as dirt, grime, mold, and mildew, which can cause discoloration and attract and hold damaging moisture. In between cleaning maintenance, about every couple of years, the concrete should be sealed. This will help to waterproof the concrete so moisture cannot penetrate the surface. Sealing concrete is a great way to prevent freeze and thaw damage.

What is Poly Sand Haze?

Update 2023 – What is Poly Sand Haze?

We at Concrete Sealer Review are dedicated to being your source for the latest tips and trends for your concrete and brick paver sealers through 2023 and beyond. Poly sand haze is a common occurrence with brick pavers. In this updated article, we explain how to avoid it. If you have encountered poly sand haze and have any suggestions or any have questions, please comment below.


Poly Sand White Haze

Poly Sand White Haze

How to Fix Poly Sand Haze

To understand what poly sand haze is, let’s first take a look at how pavers are installed. Most pavers, regardless of whether it is a driveway, sidewalk, patio, or pool deck area, are laid on a compacted bed of sand. The bricks are laid out in whatever pattern you desire and are leveled to create an entire paver structure. Sand is then poured onto the paver surface and swept into the gaps between the pavers. This is typically fine polymeric sand especially designed for paver construction.

The polymeric sand joints are then misted with water. The water reacts with the poly sand and creates a binding agent that helps bind the sand particles together. However, before water is misted onto the surface, the poly sand dust leftover on the surface must be completely removed. If the poly sand dust is not removed, it will create a white haze on top of the pavers. This is called poly sand haze.

How To Fix Concrete Sealer Bubbles 2023

by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Concrete Since 1993 January 30, 2023

Tips To Fix Concrete Sealer Bubbles

We often hear about the appearance of pesky bubbles that appear in finished concrete sealer projects. In this updated article, we explain how to avoid concrete sealer bubbles, and if they appear, how to fix them. If you have encountered concrete sealer bubbles and have any suggestions or have any questions, please comment below.


Concrete Sealer Bubbles

Concrete Sealer Bubbles

Solvent-based Acrylic Concrete Sealers are designed to enhance, darken, and give a sheen to decorative concrete surfaces.  Unfortunately, when applied incorrectly or overapplied you may have issues with “bubbles” forming in the sealer. This typically happens to Stamped Concrete or smooth decorative concrete surfaces.

When a solvent-based acrylic sealer is applied, some of the sealer penetrates into the porous concrete. If the application is too thick, or if too many coatings are applied, the solvent is not able to evaporate before the sealer dries. When that happens, the solvent gets trapped and eventually creates enough pressure that it forces its way out, creating bubbles.
