Is the sealed surface of stamped or washed concrete slick?

This is a legitimate concern, especially when considering a finish for your pool deck or patio. Of course, safety is a foremost concern in all aspects of any Baltz and Sons Concrete project. As a rule, we use specialized additives in all of our sealers that help provide traction and grip, without diminishing the cosmetic appeal of our concrete. This additive helps to reduce (but not fully eliminate) the slickness of the concrete’s surface by introducing a sand-like, yet virtually invisible texture to the sealer. This, coupled with the physical texture of the concrete itself, helps to minimize the slip-risk of freshly sealed concrete. For this reason, Baltz & Sons Concrete offers a wide range of finish options for your concrete surfaces, custom tailored to best fit your project needs.
