Residential system
The professional concrete repair and protection system for driveways, sidewalks, walkways and patios. Restore. Preserve. Protect.
The ConcreteCare Ceramic Shield System™ is a professionally installed three-layer system that restores, preserves and protects residential concrete. It is engineered specifically for 1L low-strength concrete, the dominant mix design in American homes, and rebuilds weak concrete from the inside while protecting it at the surface, restoring the lifespan of your concrete asset.
Most residential coatings sit on top of the concrete and eventually peel. ConcreteCare is different. The first two layers bond chemically into the concrete itself, so the restoration is permanent and only the top Shield is ever refreshed. The whole system is 100% water-based, with low odor and low VOC, and is installed by trained ConcreteCare applicators.
How it works
Penetrates deep into the concrete and rebuilds the matrix from the inside. Permanent and chemically bonded.
Locks in the restoration and adds a hydrophobic barrier, bonding chemically to the restored cement matrix.
A tough, slip-resistant topcoat that protects against UV, abrasion, oil, hot tires, salt and weathering.
What to expect
After the Shield is applied: safe for light foot traffic in 24 hours, and safe for vehicle drive-on traffic after 7 days.
See the ConcreteCare Ceramic Shield System™ Technical Data Sheet for complete application specifications.
Why it lasts
Weak, dusting or aged 1L concrete is rebuilt permanently from the inside, with no tear-out and replacement.
Stabilizes the cement binder against carbonation, salt and aging, so the concrete stops deteriorating from the inside out.
A UV-stable, hydrophobic, ceramic-reinforced finish resists water, salt, oil, hot tires and slip hazards.
The first two layers bond chemically into the concrete itself, so only the top Shield is ever refreshed at end of life.
A hydrophobic finish means water rolls off and de-icing chemicals can simply be rinsed away.
Driveway spills of motor oil, brake fluid, antifreeze and road salt wipe clean without permanent staining.
The restored matrix retains coordination water while the film blocks water ingress, resisting winter cracking and salt scaling.
Allows water vapor to escape from the substrate, so it will not trap moisture or blister the way epoxy coatings can.
The chemistry behind it
Zirconia's Ceramic Surface Treatment technology is a modern revival of Roman cement, the same family of chemistry that has held the Colosseum and Pantheon together for centuries. The ConcreteCare Ceramic Shield System™ brings that proven, time-tested durability to residential driveways, walkways and patios.
