Concrete Sealing Secrets: Why One Coat Reigns Supreme!

At Prime Concrete Coatings, we take immense pride in delivering exceptional results and ensuring the longevity of your concrete surfaces. One key aspect of our approach is our commitment to applying only a single coat when sealing concrete. While some may advocate for multiple coats, we firmly believe that a single coat offers numerous advantages that ultimately lead to a superior outcome.


Here are the reasons why we stand by the decision to apply just one coat:

1. Prevention of Bubbling:

Applying multiple coats of sealant can increase the risk of bubbling. Bubbles can not only detract from the aesthetics of your concrete but also compromise its integrity over time. By opting for a single coat, we minimize the likelihood of bubbling, ensuring a smooth and flawless finish.

2. Avoiding Moisture Trapping:

One of the most significant concerns with multiple coats is the potential for trapping moisture within the concrete. Moisture trapped beneath layers of sealant can lead to delamination, where the sealant separates from the concrete substrate. This not only diminishes the effectiveness of the sealant but also undermines the structural stability of the surface.

3. Preventing Build-Up in Expansion Cuts:

Expansion cuts are essential for accommodating the natural movement of concrete due to temperature changes and settling. When multiple coats are applied, there is a risk of build-up within these cuts, which can impede their functionality. This build-up may also result in unsightly discoloration, detracting from the appearance of your concrete.

4. Ease of Maintenance and Re-Sealing:

Opting for a single coat simplifies future maintenance and re-sealing efforts. With only one layer of sealant to contend with, any necessary touch-ups or reapplications become more straightforward and cost-effective. Conversely, multiple coats would require extensive removal before re-sealing, adding unnecessary time and expense to the process.

By choosing Prime Concrete Coatings for your concrete sealing needs, you can rest assured that we prioritize quality, durability, and long-term performance. Our commitment to applying a single coat of sealant reflects our dedication to delivering optimal results while minimizing the potential drawbacks associated with multiple coatings.
