Why would you want to get your concrete, stone, brick, mortar, blocks, hardscapes, retaining walls or any other porous hard surfaces sealed?
Freeze-thaw Cycle Explained
When water seeps into small fissures or cracks in concrete (or other porous hard surfaces), it can cause significant damage through a process known as the freeze-thaw cycle. During cold weather, water that has entered these cracks will freeze as temperatures drop. As water freezes, it expands by about 9%, exerting pressure on the surrounding concrete. This expansion creates stress on the concrete, causing the fissures to widen and deepen. When temperatures rise again, the ice thaws, and the water contracts, but the damage remains. Over repeated freeze-thaw cycles, this continuous expansion and contraction can cause the concrete to weaken, crack further, and ultimately break apart.
Why Seal Hard Surfaces?
Sealing concrete with a high quality hard surface sealer is an effective way to protect it from the damage caused by the freeze-thaw cycle. Here’s why sealing is beneficial:
- Prevents Water Infiltration: A high-quality concrete sealer creates a protective barrier on the surface, preventing water from seeping into the concrete. This reduces the risk of water entering fissures and cracks, where it can freeze and expand, causing damage.
- Increases Durability: Sealed concrete is less porous, making it more resistant to wear and tear from environmental conditions. This not only helps with freeze-thaw protection but also defends against other forms of damage, like stains, chemicals, or abrasion.
- Improves Longevity: Sealing concrete helps maintain its structural integrity over time. With fewer cracks, less moisture infiltration, and reduced freeze-thaw impact, sealed concrete will last longer and require fewer repairs, saving money on maintenance in the long run.
