Although fairly maintenance free, concrete driveways and sidewalks still can become very dirty and discolored. They are also severely affected by salt and snow, acid rain, moisture and high temperatures. With equipment specifically designed to quickly and evenly clean concrete and brick surfaces, Window Genie can make dramatic improvements to the appearance of your driveway and sidewalk. With our unique, lifetime "sealers" which penetrate your existing concrete, you can protect it from the damaging elements and form a barrier that keeps even oil from penetrating.
Chem-Tec One, which is actually a "preservative and densifier", is actually like adding liquid concrete to your existing driveway or sidewalk. Once added to the concrete, the "sealer", which is the same consistency as water, penetrates deeply into the substrate. There it begins a chemical reaction with the calcium and lime that exists in the concrete. As it reacts, it forms a gel that over time will harden and permanently fill the pores of the concrete. In addition, as it hardens, it pushes out contaminants such as oil and salt that lie within the concrete. This process takes about 30 days and the old salt or oil are then washed away with rain or snow.
Compared to the cheap stuff on store shelves which are silicone-based and are nothing but surface sealers that wear off quickly, Chem-Tec One is a permanent product. Once applied, especially with our 2-coat application, it never has to be reapplied. So not only is it significantly more effective, but it is more cost-effective in the long run.
