What You Should Know About Sun Damage to Concrete

Extended contact with UV light over a period of time causes concrete to weaken and deteriorate. The polymers and bond chains that form the concrete structure are broken down by UV radiation. The color will fade but worse, the result is weak and cracking concrete with fine dust particles.

Protection from the Beginning

After fresh concrete has been poured make sure it is protected from direct sunlight. During the curing process, cover your concrete and keep it wet for 30 days. This is imperative. After curing is complete, seal your concrete. We recommend Floorguard epoxy floor coating for its tough finish and resistance to UV damage.
