The Advantages Of Stained Concrete.
Why choose stained concrete? Stained concrete offers several advantages:
Customization: Concrete’s porous qualities and neutral tone make it an ideal canvas for applying colors. Using acid-based chemical stains and dyes, we can achieve rich, earth-toned color schemes that resemble natural stone, marble, wood, leather, and more. This allows for a completely customized look for your cement floors, concrete driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, concrete walls, and other surfaces.
Durability and permanence: Acid stains are designed to penetrate the surface of the concrete and chemically react with the hydrated lime, becoming a permanent part of the concrete itself. This means that the color won’t fade, chip, or peel away over time. Similar to stains on wood, acid and solvent-based stains are translucent, and the resulting color will vary based on the color and condition of the concrete. Each concrete slab will accept the stain to varying degrees, creating unique and artistic variations.
Maintenance and longevity: Stained concrete is relatively low-maintenance and can stand the test of time with proper care. The stain penetrates the concrete matrix to a depth of approximately 1/32 of an inch, so it’s important to protect the surface. We recommend applying multiple coats of sealer for outdoor surfaces and using a floor wax for indoor surfaces to prolong the life of the stain. Routine maintenance typically involves dry dust mopping and occasional wet mopping with a neutral-pH cleaner.
Our Stained Concrete Services Include.
Surface preparation: We prepare the concrete surface to ensure optimal stain penetration and adhesion. This may involve cleaning, repairing imperfections, and properly profiling the surface to create an ideal canvas for staining.
Color selection and design: We offer a wide range of color options to match your preferences or complement your existing color scheme. Our artisans can create intricate designs, incorporate multiple hues, and utilize joints or saw cuts to create detailed graphic compositions. We work closely with you during the consultation process to understand and bring your vision to life.
Staining application: Using acid-based chemical stains and dyes, we apply the stains to the concrete surface, allowing them to react with the hydrated lime in the concrete. This process creates the desired color and visual effects. We carelessly ensure a consistent and high-quality application, paying attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Protective sealing: Once the staining process is complete, we apply a topcoat sealer to protect the stained concrete surface and enhance its longevity. The sealer adds a layer of protection against wear and tear, and it can also enhance the appearance of the stained surface, making it more vibrant and attractive.
Stained concrete adds beauty to your space and supports eco-friendly practices. When left exposed, stained concrete can function as both the foundation slab and finished floor, eliminating the need for additional floor coverings that would require replacement over time. Concrete floors with thermal mass can collect and store radiant energy, contributing to passive solar home designs prioritizing energy efficiency.
