Other Protective Finishes for Your New Concrete Floors

Length - 01:50

Harris describes other protective finishes that can be used as alternatives to sealers for protecting decorative floor surfaces. They include:

  • Buff-in waxes, which provide a matte finish and are more penetrating than sealers. They will help to preserve the floor, but they won't protect from stains.
  • A resin-based coating, such as an epoxy or polyurethane. This type of finish provides the ultimate in protection and produces the hardest surface, making it a good choice for high-traffic areas.
