5 Ways To Use Right Choice Coatings & Sealers Water Based Concrete Sealer

Water based concrete sealers are getting more popular by the year.

For good reason too –

  • They don’t release harmful vapours into the environment
  • They’re safer to apply than solvent-based sealers
  • They’re healthier for you, your family and your pets
  • They’re cheaper than traditional solvent-based sealers
  • They deliver your concrete a beautiful matte to semi-gloss finish

Plus, they seal your concrete with outstanding strength, stain resistance and durability… even in the harshest of Australian environments!

The problem is, a lot of people are still confused as to where they can – and can not – use water based concrete sealers. That’s why we wrote this blog.

Today, we’re going to share five ways you can use our tested and proven water based concrete sealer – and we’ll even reveal its drawbacks too.

It’s our job to make sure you choose the right concrete sealer for you, and sometimes that means sticking with a solvent based concrete sealer. 

But before we get to that, let’s dive into the five different ways you can use the Right Choice Coating & Sealers water-based concrete for your projects.

  • To seal your driveway, patio and pathways:

As mentioned, our water based concrete sealer is strong enough to protect your concrete surfaces in even the harshest of Australian environments.

That means you can use it on just about any external surface.

They don’t darken your concrete nearly as much as solvent-based sealers, so your concrete looks much more natural with a matte to semi-gloss finish.

  • To give your concrete waterproof protection:

As the water based concrete sealer dries, the polymer chains cross link together to form a waterproof matrix seal. You can use this sealer to protect your concrete in any wet areas like your poolside or garage – safe in the knowledge that no water can impregnate the concrete and cause damage.

  • To seal ugly gaps and cracks:

If you need to fix cracks in your pathway, floors, walls or other concrete surfaces, then you need to reach for some water-based concrete sealer.

Simply clean the area of all dirt, oil and stains – you can use our concrete cleaner to make that job quick and easy. Allow the area to dry and ensure your concrete has sufficient porosity for the sealer to work. Then pour the sealer into the gaps and cracks and smooth over with a roller or a broom.

Wave goodbye to your ugly (maybe even unsafe) gaps and cracks!

  • For all your interior concrete sealing jobs:

The biggest advantage of water based concrete sealers is that they contain little to no solvents. Solvents release gases called Volatile Organic Compounds – which are harmful to the environment and your health.

That’s why it’s a good idea to use a water-based concrete sealer if you’re sealing concrete indoors – you won’t be subjected to volatile compounds.

It’s for this reason that many of our customers choose a water based concrete sealer for their garages, bathrooms, stairs and other interior jobs.

  • To seal masonry:

As you may already know, masonry and concrete are not the same thing. Masonry refers to the bricks, stones and blocks used, while concrete refers to a type of cement. You don’t need to know that of course. All you need to know is that our water based concrete sealer will work on natural stone too.

Like it will also work on your stencilled and stamped concrete, and your plain and exposed concrete – even if it’s vertical standing like a wall.

In Conclusion:

Right Choice Coatings & Sealers water-based concrete sealer is a great choice for most of your exterior and interior surfaces. The product is low odour, rapid drying and does not contain solvents or harmful VOC’s. That means your concrete is protected, and so is you and your family’s health.

The only drawbacks to consider when it comes to whether you should purchase a water based sealer rather than a solvent based sealer are:

  • Water based sealers are difficult to remove if you change your mind
  • They can fault when applied at temperatures below 10c
  • They freeze more easily than solvent-based sealers
  • They don’t provide as deep a darkening effect as solvent based sealers do
