Shieldcoat Concreshield in Sydney

Concreshield is Shieldcoat’s coloured heavy duty concrete sealer: a xylene based topcoat that colours and protects driveways, garages, carports and patios. It comes in a low sheen or gloss finish in 20L pails, and we stock it in Wetherill Park.

Where do you use Concreshield?

Garages, carports, sheds, patios, paths and driveways. It’s self priming, recoats easily and won’t discolour, so it’s the go to for recolouring tired concrete without a full spray resin system. For a textured, P5 anti slip surface, that’s Step Safe Heavy Duty.

How to apply it

1. Prep. Broom finish concrete just needs a thorough pressure clean at 3000psi or more. Smooth concrete like a garage gets ground or acid etched and neutralised. Degrease oil, brake dust and tyre marks first.
2. First coat. On smooth concrete or exposed aggregate, thin it 20 to 30% with xylene thinners. Roll it on with a 12 to 20mm nap roller, a brush or a solvent broom, and don’t let it pool.
3. Second coat. Straight from the pail, rolled in the opposite direction, at least 2 hours after the first.

Going by Shieldcoat’s datasheet: foot traffic after 24 hours, furniture after 3 to 5 days and cars after 7 to 10 days.

Outside, stir the Anti-Slip additive into the pail before the final coat for a P4 slip rating. In a garage, take care when water pools on it after rain. Always test adhesion on a small area first, and work with good ventilation or a type A respirator indoors. For a clear finish, see Concreshield Clear Low Sheen.
