As someone who has spent over a decade perfecting the art of polished concrete at Raw Surfaces, I'm excited to share my insights on how often this stunning flooring option needs a little TLC to keep it looking its best.

Let’s address the big question: "How frequently does polished concrete need resealing?" Well, the beauty of real polished concrete lies in its durability and low maintenance. When finished and maintained correctly, a new application of penetrating sealer might only be needed every 7 to 12 years. Yep, you heard that right—years, not months! This makes polished concrete an excellent long-term investment for both residential and commercial spaces.

However, like a lot of things in our homes, the devil is in the details. If your polished concrete isn’t installed properly or if it's not cleaned and maintained correctly, you might find yourself needing to reseal much sooner. Incorrect maintenance can lead to the surface staining easily, which is something we definitely want to avoid.
