Semi-Gloss finish · Medium sheen
Semi-Gloss finish. The sweet spot for stamped and coloured concrete.
Semi-gloss is the finish most of our clients choose. It brings out the colour and pattern of stamped, coloured and decorative concrete with a soft satin sheen that looks rich without looking wet. It shows less dust and dirt than gloss and is easier to keep looking even between reseals.
Best for
- Stamped concrete patios and driveways
- Coloured and integrally pigmented concrete
- Front walkways and porches
- Anyone who wants colour enhancement without high shine
The look
- Soft satin sheen
- Strong colour and pattern enhancement
- Balanced reflection in sunlight
- Hides dust and light dirt better than gloss
Worth knowing
- More reflective than matte, so surface imperfections show slightly more
- Non-slip additive recommended on steps and sloped surfaces

What clients say
Real driveways and patios across SW Ontario.
“TriCity sealed our driveway last spring and it still looks brand new. Zero staining from our vehicles and it survived a brutal winter without a single crack. Absolutely worth it.”
“The crew was on time, professional, and the stamped concrete on our backyard patio looks incredible now. The colour really popped after sealing. Highly recommend them!”
“We had our walkway and front steps sealed. The whole job took about 3 hours and the results are stunning. Great communication throughout and the pricing was fair.”
“After years of oil stains on my driveway I finally got it professionally sealed. TriCity cleaned everything up and applied a gorgeous semi-gloss finish. No more embarrassing stains!”

FAQ
Semi-Gloss finish questions
Still wondering about something? Email us, or use the form and we will get back to you within 4 business hours.
service@tricityconcretesealing.caWhy is semi-gloss the most popular finish?
It enhances colour almost as much as gloss while hiding dust, pollen and light wear better, so it looks good for longer between reseals.
Will semi-gloss look wet after rain?
It looks slightly richer when wet, like any sealed surface, but it does not have the mirror-like reflection of a gloss finish.
Can I switch from gloss to semi-gloss at reseal time?
Yes. Because our sealers are solvent-based, a new coat blends into the old one, and we can adjust the sheen at your next reseal.
