Semi-GlossSatin, our most requested
Brings out pattern and colour with a soft satin sheen that hides dust and tire marks better than gloss. The default recommendation for stamped and decorative surfaces.
- Stamped and decorative patios
- Front walkways and porches

Semi-Gloss
Driveway Sealing
Semi-Gloss gives a driveway a clean, satin finish that resists salt and UV fading without an overly glossy look across such a large surface.
Semi-Gloss
Patio & Deck Sealing
Semi-Gloss gives a patio a warm, satin look well suited to outdoor entertaining while still fully protecting against staining and moisture.
High Gloss
Stamped Concrete Sealing
High Gloss delivers the classic wet-look shine that best restores colour depth and pattern contrast on stamped concrete, which is why it is the most requested finish for this surface.
Semi-Gloss
Decorative Concrete Sealing
Semi-Gloss brings out colour depth on stained and coloured concrete without the extreme shine that can look artificial on a decorative, textured finish.
Matte
Walkway & Path Sealing
Matte suits walkways and paths because it keeps a natural look along a surface people walk on barefoot and in wet shoes without drawing attention to the sheen.
Matte
Pool Deck Sealing
Matte is standard around pools because it pairs naturally with the anti-slip additive and avoids the glare a glossier finish can create in direct sun near the water.
Matte
Garage Floor Sealing
A Matte finish gives a garage floor a clean, natural look that hides everyday wear better than a glossy finish while still fully protecting the surface.
Anti-slip additive
Any sheen, more grip.
A fine, clear grit mixed into the sealer gives wet concrete traction without changing the look. Standard around pools and on steps, optional anywhere else.
- Pool decks and hot tub surrounds
- Front steps and porches
- Sloped walkways and driveways
- Garage aprons that see snowmelt

Call 519-266-6796Which finish should I choose: high gloss, semi-gloss or matte?
Semi-gloss is our most requested for stamped and decorative concrete. High gloss gives the wet look and the deepest colour. Matte keeps broom-finish, exposed aggregate and garage floors natural. All three use the same sealer, and we bring samples to the inspection.
Will a sealed surface be slippery?
Gloss can be when wet on smooth concrete. We add an anti-slip additive to any sheen, and it is standard around pools and on steps.
Can you seal concrete that was sealed before?
Yes. We check the old coating first. If it is sound and compatible we bond to it; if it is peeling or the wrong type we strip it so the new coat does not fail.
When is the best time to seal?
Late spring through fall, when the slab is dry and temperatures sit roughly between 10 and 30°C. Fall bookings before the first salt are the most popular.
Protect. Preserve. Seal.
Seal it before the salt trucks do their rounds.
