COVERAGE & COST
- A kit of 1 pint A, ½ pint B (24 oz) covers approximately 170 sq ft using the maximum of 2 primer coats and 4 finish coats.
- Cost is $129.99 per 24 oz making it only $0.76 per sq ft.
- Depending on how porous your concrete surface is, you may need the maximum number of coats before your surface is completely sealed. For less porous concrete or less demanding applications such as fireplace surrounds, you may need only 1 primer coat and 2 finish costs. For highly porous surfaces, additional applications up to 2 primer coats and 4 finish coats might be necessary to ensure full coverage and durability. Always assess the porosity of your concrete before beginning the sealing process to determine the exact number of coats needed.By following these guidelines, you can achieve professional-grade results and extend the lifespan of your concrete surfaces.
EQUIPMENT
Omega is applied with foam rollers. It is important to use high quality foam rollers, because this will result in a better surface finish quality. Our foam rollers are made of a dense, high quality foam that will give you a better finish than foam rollers from a big box home improvement store. They may look similar to big box rollers, but they are not. The foam is top quality German foam (assembled in China). If you purchase the Omega Full Kit, you will receive our ultra high quality German foam rollers as well as handles and measuring syringes. You may also purchase packs of foam rollers and handles here.
The Omega Full Kit includes all the accessories you need for convenience, including foam rollers and handles, measuring syringes, and even plastic jars. People often buy a full kit to start, and then order 24 oz kits as needed.
- One 24 oz kit of Omega Concrete Countertop Sealer
- Set of 10 6" foam rollers
- One 6" roller handle
- Set of 10 4" foam rollers
- One 4" roller handle
- Set of 10 2" foam rollers

OMEGA RESEAL KIT
- Thorough cleaning is essential before and after removing the old sealer.
- Thorough masking is critical. Omega is designed to bond very well to many surfaces, so wipe up spills, drips, and spatter immediately, or protect important surfaces with effective masking.
- Not all sealers are removed using the same methods. Wax and penetrating sealers are very difficult to remove because they sit below the concrete's surface, and chemical stripping may be necessary. Softer topical sealers like acrylic sealers are easy to remove with damp honing. Experimentation is sometimes necessary, but the goal is to remove 100% of the old sealer and expose new, completely bare concrete.
- New or existing voids and pinholes in the concrete should be filled before sealing. Omega will not fill in pinholes, and they may remain open and unsealed. Only grout after the old sealer has been removed but before Omega is applied.

Below is a very brief summary. DO NOT rely solely on this summary. It is imperative to watch all of the videos AND read all of the written instructions. Essentially, you will:

1. Recommended Environmental Conditions for Applying Omega Concrete Sealer
To achieve the best results while applying a concrete sealer, it's essential to be mindful of specific environmental conditions. Here's what you need to consider:
- Air Movement: Apply the sealer in a location with minimal air movement. Drafts and breezy conditions can lead to uneven application, as the sealer may dry too quickly, resulting in undesirable streaks.
- Temperature: Avoid applying the sealer under direct sunlight or any form of radiant heat. Higher temperatures can cause the sealer to dry prematurely, making it difficult to achieve a smooth finish.
By managing these environmental factors, you can ensure a more even and professional finish for your concrete sealing project. Detailed information about the exact temperature and humidity, as well as considerations of dew point, air flow and dust control, are in the written instructions available from the full instructions page.
2. How to Prepare Your Concrete Surface for Sealing with Omega
Achieving a flawless finish on your concrete countertop begins with proper preparation. You will follow these steps to ensure your surface is ready for the sealer application:
- Cure your concrete for at least 2 days
- Make sure the concrete is microscopically rough by etching, wet sanding by hand, or machine honing to no more than 400 grit.
- Make sure the concrete is clean and dry.
- Ensure that the environment you will seal in is suitable.

Customer Reviews
Yes you have to follow the directions, but when you do, Omega just works. Time and again it works. I've sealed counters, bathroom and kitchen, hearths, fireplace surrounds, grill stations, and outdoor kitchens. The one factor that remains constant in all areas is that Omega works. So do your home work, follow the directions (to the "T"), and enjoy a job well done.
This stuff is so great! I made a "temporary" dining room table from scrap plywood and coated it in ardex and used this sealant (I don't think it is even recommended for skim coats, but it worked swimmingly!), and it's now been six years, and the table is still going strong. I had low expectations for the project, but, honestly, it turned out so decent that I have never had a desire to replace it! Lots of wine and oil and beyond has sat on the table for longer than it should (like, days, yikes!), and, it has mostly cleaned right up. I think you're supposed to reseal every year or two, and I have not, so I can now see a few spots that maybe look a bit dark, but it is so minimal that I think I am the only person who would notice. Kind of looks intentional. And it has been six whole years, and I have done absolutely zero to maintain. My table project was such a success, that one of my friends wanted a dining table for his new house. The sealant formula had changed between my initial experience and when we made his, but the new formula seems to be just as durable and was much more simple to apply.
After so much success with the dining tables, I skimcoated my whole bathroom and used this stuff as well. That was another "temp fix" sort of thing, but sat for about 4 years before I tore it out. Countertop, floor, and tub surround. Daily showers and never had an issue with anything penetrating through the sealant.
Anyway, couldn't recommend more, works great! Have fun with your projects everyone!
Omega was applied to a 4” concrete base for a pizza oven. 3 base coats followed by 6 finish coats yielded excellent results. Read and understand the detailed instructions before applying. Like all coating success stories, proper surface preparation is critical. Application was straightforward and the product goes a long way. Use the proper foam roller, keep a wet edge, and the Omega will self-level resulting in a slight sheen that is neither glossy nor dull. Its “just right” sheen enhances the surface texture and avoids that “plastic” look. Customer support was excellent. Omega even sent me their contact info and encouraged questions. The only reason I cannot give it 5-stars is because it’s durability can only be tested with time, but so far I see no reason why Omega won’t hold up well for many years.
Best sealer on the market
Did a commercial bar and it passed the break in test wine spills and all. One suggestion is emphasize the mix proportion sq footage is for a single coat. Also to minimize over spray on the vertical faces, spray the roller instead of the concrete then roll on a coat.
