Concrete Sealing in Ottawa
Extend your Ottawa business’ concrete’s lifespan and protect it from damage with concrete sealing provided by EverLine Coatings.
Be Confident in the Integrity of Your Concrete with Reliable Concrete Sealing
Investing in a concrete parking lot and walkways makes sense for business owners. They provide clear walkways and parking lots. They’re usually easy enough to maintain and quite durable. However, it’s good maintenance that keeps your concrete in pristine condition. Left to its own devices, it’s going to be subject to the elements, which can erode, and even destroy, concrete.
EverLine Coatings makes keeping your concrete in good condition easier than ever. Our concrete sealing services ensure that, even when it’s raining and snowing, your Ottawa concrete will resist absorbing moisture and developing cracks.
Extend Your Concrete's Lifespan With Concrete Sealing Services
Ideally, concrete surfaces should be sealed every two to five years. While this is a rather large range, the right time to reseal your parking lot depends on a lot of use factors, such as how much traffic it gets.
Concrete sealing services work to keep moisture and chemicals out of your porous concrete. As a result, you reduce the likelihood of developing cracks and extend the concrete’s lifespan.
EverLine Coatings protects your concrete with two sealant types: penetrating and surface concrete sealants. Each works somewhat differently and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.
After inspecting your parking lot and use scenario, we can recommend sealants likely to best work for you. We’ll also apply them, and you’ll be left resting easily and knowing that you’ve taken a major step in protecting one of your business’s biggest assets.
Factors Affecting Concrete Surfaces
Concrete surfaces
should be sealed
every 2–5 years.
Climate
Depending on the climate, you may need to apply sealants more often. Frequent sun exposure can erode your parking lot sealer over time thanks to harsh UV rays.
Likewise, rainy areas have a particularly high need for frequent sealant services. In rainy areas, moisture can penetrate your concrete and cause cracks or other damage.
Traffic
How frequently people drive or walk over your concrete determines a lot about how quickly it will erode. Generally, the more traffic you have, the more frequently you’ll have to seal the lot.
Sealer Type
The type of sealant you choose also influences how frequently it will need reapplication.
Sealer Quality
Choosing a high-quality sealant is often more cost-effective in the long run. You might pay more upfront, but you will extend how frequently you have to reapply it.
Maintenance
Frequent maintenance can keep your parking lot in good condition by removing any chemicals that may erode the sealant or concrete. Plus, when you perform maintenance regularly, you’ll notice when something seems wrong and can fix it promptly before it has the chance to worsen.
Choosing the Right Type of Concrete Sealant
Penetrating Concrete Sealants
Penetrating sealants enter the concrete and bond to it. As a result, moisture and other chemicals have nowhere to penetrate the concrete since the sealant already took up that space. These should be regularly applied to exterior concrete surfaces, especially if they face harsh weather conditions.
Surface Concrete Sealants
These sealants sit atop the concrete, effectively creating a protective film. It stops moisture from soaking into the porous concrete. Most commonly, surface concrete sealants are used either on interior concrete floors or to create a decorative effect.
