Concrete Is An Investment. Protect It.
East Kootenay winters are hard on concrete. Freeze-thaw cycles force water into the pores of a slab, where it expands and contracts until cracks, spalling and surface flaking set in — and de-icing salt speeds the damage along every step of the way.
Concrete Saver is a proprietary blend of silane and siloxane nanoparticles engineered to bond into the concrete's pore structure rather than sit on top like a film or coating. Once applied, it changes the surface tension of the slab from within, creating a long-lasting hydrophobic barrier that sheds water, salt and grime instead of absorbing them.
Because it's non-film-forming, the treatment stays completely breathable — moisture already in the slab can still escape, so there's no trapped moisture, no peeling, and no change to the natural look of your concrete. It simply dries clear.
Six-Way Protection
One application, applied in a single day, delivers long-term, multi-directional protection engineered specifically for surfaces exposed to Kootenay winters.
Water & Freeze-Thaw
Creates a waterproof barrier that keeps moisture out of the slab — the leading cause of freeze-thaw cracking and spalling through Cranbrook winters.
Salt & Chloride Resistance
Blocks penetration of de-icing salts and chlorides, protecting surface finish and reinforcing steel from corrosion. Independent testing shows an 89–98.4% reduction in water absorption and chloride penetration versus untreated concrete.
UV Protection
Reflects UV radiation to reduce heat absorption and slow surface aging, keeping entrances and display areas looking newer for longer.
Biological Growth Resistance
Inhibits moss, algae and organic staining on shaded walkways, north-facing curb lines and anywhere moisture likes to linger.
100% Breathable
A non-film-forming formula that lets the slab breathe — no trapped moisture, no peeling — while making oil, grease and tire marks noticeably easier to clean off.
10-Year Manufacturer Warranty
Backed by a Gonano 10-year limited warranty against delamination, peeling, chipping, cracking, flaking and UV-related breakdown when installed by a certified applicator.
Tested & Proven
Concrete Saver exceeds ASTM E-514, ASTM C-672 and AASHTO T-259 performance benchmarks for water and chloride resistance — independently verified, not just marketing claims.
We're the certified Gonano applicator for the East Kootenay, and we back every job with our own on-site test section before full application, so you can see the results for yourself before committing.
Where It Works
Concrete Saver is suitable for interior and exterior, horizontal and vertical concrete, brick and masonry — from a single driveway to a full commercial lot.
See It In Action
The clearest way to show what Concrete Saver does is to show it working — untreated concrete soaking up water next to a treated section shedding it instantly.
Untreated concrete absorbs water and stays dark and wet — the first step toward freeze-thaw cracking.
Where Concrete Saver has been applied, water beads up and runs right off instead of soaking in.
The hydrophobic barrier holds up close-up — clear, natural-looking, and doing its job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it change how my concrete looks?
No. Concrete Saver dries completely clear and is non-film-forming, so it won't change the colour, texture or sheen of your concrete — it just protects it from within.
How long does it last?
A single application is engineered for a 12–15 year service life, backed by a 10-year manufacturer limited warranty when installed by a certified applicator like Key City.
How soon can I use my driveway after treatment?
Typical dry time is 4–6 hours, and treated surfaces are ready for pedestrian and vehicle traffic within 24 hours. Water repellency continues to develop for about 7 days after application.
Does this work for businesses and commercial lots, not just homes?
Yes — Concrete Saver is suitable for traffic-bearing commercial concrete, parking lots, curb lines and entrance aprons, and we quote and apply it at commercial scale for dealerships, strata properties and other businesses across the East Kootenay.
What does my concrete need before treatment?
Surfaces need to be structurally sound and free of oil, grease, dirt, wax, curing compounds or old sealers. If your driveway needs pre-treatment power washing or crack filling, we'll flag that during your free assessment.
