A penetrating sealer is used for a nearly invisible finish, while acrylic can provide a range of sheen options.In terms of conditions, most sealers shouldn’t be applied if either the air or surface temperature is below 5°C. You should also avoid applying the sealer if temperatures are above 30°C. So, the best concrete sealer will enhance the look of the concrete, while adding a durable layer of protection. Not only does this help to keep the concrete looking fresh, but it can also provide important structural protection against potential damage.
