Concrete is a versatile and widely used building material. It’s hard and durable but while this is the case, concrete is susceptible to stains since it’s porous by nature. This can be addressed with a sealer. A concrete sealer is a compound which is used to protect concrete surfaces. Today, concrete flooring extends beyond driveways and garages with technology that makes it beautiful and practical to be used inside the home. Personalized concrete flooring can be stained, colored and painted into unlimited designs.

Cement vs. Concrete
Cement is one of the main components of concrete; in addition to sand, gravel, water and crushed stone. These ingredients combine to make hardened concrete through the process of hydration. Cement on the other hand, is generally a binding material made by heating limestone. It’s used for binding mainly mortar and concrete.
