Concrete sealers perform differently depending on the type of surface. A penetrating sealer is usually the best choice for high-traffic exterior concrete surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, and patios. In cold climates, silane or silane/siloxane blends are used because they hold up best against the abrasive effects of scraping and plowing. In warm climates, either silane/siloxane blend or acrylic will work well. Acrylic is best for decorative, high-gloss, and color-enhancing applications.Applying concrete sealer can help stave off long-term damage from moisture and chemical intrusion, but there are different types available, and some perform better than others. To see which ones live up to the hype, we sealed both concrete pavers and a concrete countertop with popular products, then tested their performance against moisture, grease, dirt, and ice-melt chemicals.
