Concrete is one of the most durable construction products, it endures the harshest elements of our climate. Other wearing surfaces such as carpets and wood floors often have protective products applied (i.e. stain resistors and sealers) to extend their service life and durability while facili…tating easier maintenance. To provide the same protection to your concrete driveway, it is recommended that it be treated with a protective sealer. Your driveway will be durable and serviceable for many years to come.

Care and MaintenanceConcrete is an extremely durable product, the following care and maintenance guidelines will add to the value of your investment:

1. Do not apply deicing chemicals for snow and ice removal during the first winter. To provide traction, sand is recommended.

2. Never apply deicers containing ammonium sulphate or ammonium nitrate. These products may be packaged and sold as deicers, but aggressively attack and deteriorate concrete surfaces.

3. For stain removal, do not use harsh acids. Use a product specifically designed for the stain in question and for use on concrete.

4. Keep concrete clean of snow and ice at all times
