| Driveways
A concrete driveway has always been a source of pride to its owner. Concrete driveways signify permanence and enhance the beauty and value of your home. In an environment like Ohio with severe winters, driveway protection is necessary and prudent.
The driveway protection program is a joint venture between K & L Ready Mix and The Euclid Chemical Company.
CONCRETE FACTS
- Most concrete is cured but not sealed.
- Curing is the maintaining of moisture in the concrete for the first 24 hours to 7 days.
- Sealing concrete is the act of providing protection from the ingress of salts and chemicals that can injure the concrete.
- Concrete that is not cured or sealed is twice as likely to experience problems as concrete that is cured and sealed.
Sealing Concrete
You have two options: Option #1-Membrane Sealers: Membrane sealers sit on the surface of the concrete and provide a membrane type protection. These products are relatively inexpensive and provide a light sheen. These products can be applied and reapplied over the years. Option #2-Penetrating Sealers: These sealers provide the longest protection period for the concrete. They actually penetrate the surface and prevent salts and chemicals from attacking the internal structure of the concrete. They provide the best protection. These products can not be applied over existing membrane sealers.
