SIKAUSA vs. Competitors
Compared to brands like RadonSeal or DAP Concrete Sealers, SIKAUSA prioritizes high-movement tolerance and self-leveling ease, ideal for joints rather than surface sealing. While others focus on penetration, SIKAUSA's polyurethane delivers unmatched elasticity and paintability, reducing callbacks on jobs.
Application Tips for Best Results
Prep surfaces by cleaning thoroughly and ensuring they're dry. Use a standard caulking gun for the cartridge, then let it self-level. Full cure takes 3-5 days, but foot traffic is possible sooner. Always follow SIKAUSA's guidelines for optimal bonding.
