What is the best way to protect a stamped concrete patio from cracking and chipping this winter?
I have a stamped concrete patio that is not protected with a sealant or anything. It is showing some chipping and cracking and I would like to protect it. Thank you!
can you recemmend any specific products? should I patch the chips before sealing?
A sealant is your best answer. I prefer a product called Cure & seal. Thick enough to cover well, yet can be applied with brush or roller. If you have cracks, these can be filled by spreading a thin layer of dry mortor mix over entire patio. Sweep patio with broom. This fills the cracks. Moisten slightly until cement is damp. let dry one to two days. Clean patio with 30% muratic acid added to water. Allow patio to dry thouroghly then seal. Any premium sealer should suffice.
