concrete staining

12 years ago

What kind of a sealant do you put over the concrete stained floors? how durable is it? My friend had her floor done and they put a Durathane or something like that on it rough texture that supposedly you can drive on but the finish looks cloudy in some areas and reflects light differently depending on how roller put brush strokes on. I want to do it if you have a better sealant available or method to putting the sealant on.

Hi Krissss, There are many reasons why this could have happened, please send me your e-mail address or give me a shout at 813-495-8638! Your friend is going to have to strip what sealer they put down first.

Hi, I am in San Miguel Mexico. The home has old pale yellow stain that was put in the concrete. That was 17 years ago. I have hired a contractor. They exposy the cracks, free handed sanded and painted with Behr 2 of 3 of their concrete floor products. They are at the finish of sealing and the Home Depot in Mexico doesn't have the Behr sealant and waterproofed . No one here seems to know of a sealant. I have reached down with my fingernail and scratched it. Please help me find a sealant.
