Properly used and detailed into other building envelope components, sealers provide the
protection necessary for many deck applications. In addition, deck sealers are frequently
used to protect concrete surfaces from chloride attack and other damaging substances such
as acid rain, salts, oils, and carbons. By preventing water penetration, substrates are pro-
tected from the damaging effects of freeze–thaw cycles.
