Q: Do you need to seal your DecoCrete surface?
A: No, however cement by nature is porous and applying a sealer ensures that your DecoCrete finish is protected from any spills or wear and tear.
Q: Is DecoCrete waterproof?
A: If your DecoCrete surface will be exposed to water we would recommend sealing the surface to ensure no water penetrates into the surface or stains the surface.
