Cleaning and sealing stamped and colored concrete should be done on a regular basis just like any other home maintenance. The frequency will depend on how high a traffic area to cars, foot traffic, water, and any chemicals the concrete is exposed to.
Distinctive Concrete of New England recommends resealing every 2 or 3 years. If you wait longer, you may notice the color fade slightly. But just like waxing a car, reseal your stamped concrete and the color will be as vibrant as the day it was installed.
Your main decisions regarding sealers are going to be:
Do you want a clear seal?
Do you want a seal to match the color of the existing colored concrete to make the colors more vibrant?
Is there any other consideration, such as slip resistance?
