STAINED CONCRETE FLOORS
Color Options
Acid Stains are made up of a very weak hydrochloric acid and metallic salt solution. They react chemically with concrete to change the color. Offering a weathered, variegated, mottled appearance with rich color variation. Colors are limited to earth tones and can be diluted to achieve lighter shades and different coloring effects.
Dyes can be used to achieve an almost solid monotone color, to highlight, blend, or combine multiple colors for a unique multicolored floor. Available in a much wider variety of colors than acid stains.
Water Based Stains are versatile, UV Stable and available in a wide variety of colors. Several different colors can be applied wet on wet to achieve some blending/marbling or a single color can be used at varying concentrations to achieve a look similar to acid stain. They mask blemishes in concrete better than acid stains and dyes.
The Look
Because each floor is hand crafted we have the ability to customize every floor. View some of our work in our photo gallery for ideas. We also encourage you to search the internet for photos of concrete floors you like, they are incredibly helpful in determining colors & techniques. The look desired and current condition of the concrete are important in determining which ones to use. While most concrete can be stained, not all concrete will look great with staining alone.
