Over time, concrete can start looking dirty and dingy, especially if it’s not professionally sealed. Exposure to the outdoor elements and regular use causes dirt and grime to build up on the surface, tarnishing its appearance. At Window Genie of W Schaumburg and Bartlett, we have state-of-the-art equipment specifically designed to quickly seal concrete surfaces for home and business owners throughout Bartlett, IL, and the surrounding areas, including Schaumburg.
While they require little maintenance, your concrete driveway, walkways, and sidewalks can easily become discolored by salt, oil, leaves, snow, moisture, acid rain, and high temperatures. Scheduling professional concrete sealing services is the best way to dramatically improve the appearance of your concrete and protect it for years to come. Contact our team today to learn more about the unbeatable protection our sealers can provide for the concrete around your residential or commercial property.
Our Three-Step Concrete Sealing Process
Our unique sealers penetrate your existing concrete, protecting it from damaging elements by forming a barrier that removes oils and fluids. Window Genie’s concrete cleaning and sealing services are the answer to your dirty concrete needs. Our industry-trusted concrete sealing process includes the following steps:
- Clean and prepare the areas by pressure washing your concrete.
- After the concrete has dried, we’ll apply the sealer to the surface.
- Once the surface is fully covered, we let it dry.
- Your concrete is now fully protected and ready for you to enjoy!
The Window Genie Difference – Chem Tec One
At Window Genie, we’re proud to use high-quality sealers to penetrate deeply into the surface. Chem-Tec One is similar to adding liquid concrete to your existing driveway or sidewalk. Once added to the concrete mixture, Chem-Tec One begins a chemical reaction with the calcium and lime, forming a gel that hardens over time and permanently fills the surface's pores. As it hardens, it also pushes out contaminants within the concrete. The hardening process takes about 30 days, while the contaminants are washed away naturally with rain or snow.
Chem-Tec One is a permanent product, and once it's applied, it should not have to be reapplied for five to 20 years, depending on the structure type and use. Common applications for this cost-effective concrete sealing service include:
- Driveways
- Sidewalks
- Walkways
- Pool sides
- Parking lots
- Stairs and landings
- Containment tanks
- Loading ramps and docks
- And more!
Benefits of Our Paver Sealing Services
If you have pavers around your home or business, you want to keep your investment in top condition. Sealing pavers is the best way to keep them looking beautiful for years to come. Pavers are typically easy to maintain, but they can occasionally become tarnished by several factors, including:
- Erosion
- Weeds
- Fading
- Moss
- Mold or mildew
- Insects and other pests
- Weather stains
- And more!
Our Seal N Lock Products
Window Genie offers a variety of options for sealing pavers, decks, and concrete. Don’t mess with hazardous chemicals and expensive tools. Sealing your pavers can prevent natural from wasting your lifetime investment. Window Genie of W Schaumburg and Bartlett uses state-of-the-art compounds to seal your pavers. You can choose from three different Seal N Lock products:
Natural Luster
Natural Luster is environmentally safe and gives your pavers a luscious, natural look. It’s a high-quality, modified acrylic urethane sealer for brick pavers that penetrates the pavers to provide a protective barrier with superior joint stabilization, resulting in a natural luster.
Super Wet
Super Wet is a high-solid, two-part water-based pure urethane sealer that penetrates deeply into pavers to provide long-lasting protection with superior joint stabilization, resulting in a wet look. This product is user-friendly and environmentally safe.
EffloRemover
This product is an organic acid used to remove efflorescence (a white residue sometimes visible on pavers) and rust from the surface of pavers. Like all Seal n Lock products, EffloRemover is also user-friendly and safe for the environment.
How Long Should Concrete Cure Before Sealing?
If your concrete is new, we recommend letting it cure completely before professionally sealing it. In most cases, concrete can take anywhere from six to 12 months to cure before applying concrete sealant.
How Long Does It Take Concrete Sealant to Dry?
Most concrete sealant is dry to the touch within a few hours, but avoiding walking on it is important. We recommend staying off freshly sealed concrete for at least 24 hours, with some topical sealants taking longer to completely dry.
