Concrete Sealers & Clear Coatings

The "best" sealer depends on the finish you want and the condition of your driveway, but at Epoxy Warehouse, we highly recommend solvent-based acrylic sealers like Nutech Pavecoat, Omega concrete sealer, Nutech Agreseal for most residential driveways.

Both are highly durable, UV-stable topcoats, but they differ mainly in curing speed and working time:

• Polyurethane: Offers a longer working time, making it easier to apply. It is the perfect, stress-free choice for DIYers.
• Polyaspartic: Cures incredibly fast, allowing floors to return to service in just a few hours. However, it dries very quickly during application, making it best suited for experienced professionals who need rapid turnarounds.

Yes, absolutely! We stock a wide range of premium tinted and coloured concrete sealers perfect for rejuvenating faded driveways, reviving old stamped concrete, or completely changing the look of your outdoor spaces.

Our most popular coloured systems, such as Nutech PaveCoat Coloured Sealer and Omega Coloured Concrete Sealer, come pre-tinted in a large variety of standard colours (including popular shades of grey, charcoal, terracotta, and sandstone).

If you are sealing a workshop, petrol station, or high-traffic mechanical garage, standard acrylic sealers may degrade when exposed to fuels. For these environments, we recommend a specialized coating like NuTech PaveCoat PR210. It is a heavy-duty, petrol-resistant concrete sealer specifically engineered to withstand harsh chemical spills while maintaining a vibrant, durable surface.

Yes! If you are working indoors, in a residential area, or simply prefer to avoid strong solvent fumes, water-based sealers are an excellent choice. Products like the NuTech PaveCoat H2O or Crommelin Enhance WB Sealer offer incredibly strong protection and a great finish with low VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), low odour, and easy water cleanup.

It depends on the specific product and the condition of your concrete. Please always check the product's technical data sheet (TDS) and carefully follow the application guide before starting your project. However, as a general rule, most concrete sealers and coatings require two coats to ensure an even finish, full coverage, and maximum protection.

Standard sealers usually require concrete to cure for at least 28 days before application. However, we stock specialized solutions like the Nutech PaveCoat Same Day Sealer (Cure & Seal). This product is formulated to be applied directly to freshly poured concrete on the very same day, locking in moisture to aid the curing process while simultaneously sealing the surface.

Applying a high-quality concrete sealer provides a vital protective shield for your bare concrete surfaces. The main benefits include:

• Stain Resistance: Prevents oil, grease, and chemicals from permanently soaking into the concrete.
• Moisture Protection: Repels water, preventing freeze-thaw damage and stopping mould or weed growth.
• Surface Strength: Binds the surface to stop concrete "dusting" and deterioration.
• Easier Cleaning: Creates a smoother barrier, making it much easier to sweep and wash away dirt.
• Enhanced Appearance: Rejuvenates old concrete and can provide a sleek, enriched look.

Clear coatings (such as polyurethane or polyaspartic) act as the ultimate line of defense over an epoxy system or premium flooring. Their primary benefits include:

• Extreme Durability: Acts as a tough sacrificial layer against heavy scratching, scuffing, and hot tyre pick-up.
• UV Stability: Prevents epoxy basecoats and decorative flakes from yellowing or fading when exposed to sunlight.
• Chemical Resistance: Provides superior protection against harsh industrial chemicals, solvents, and fuels.
• Slip-Resistance Control: Easily mixed with anti-slip media to create a safe, compliant surface without altering the floor's colour.
