Concrete Staining

Acid and water-based staining systems that permanently penetrate and color concrete with rich, translucent, variegated tones. Natural-looking and long-lasting.

Acid Staining

Acid staining uses a chemical reaction between metallic salts and the minerals in the concrete to produce permanent, variegated color. The result is a mottled, natural look similar to marble or aged stone — earthy tones like browns, tans, and rusts are most common.

Water-Based Staining

Water-based stains penetrate the concrete and offer a much wider range of colors, including blues, greens, reds, and more vibrant tones. They produce more consistent, semi-transparent color and are a great choice when a specific palette is needed.

Benefits

Permanent Color

Stain penetrates into the concrete — it cannot peel, chip, or flake like surface paint or coatings.

Natural, Unique Look

Every stained floor is unique. The variation in color creates an organic, high-end aesthetic.

Works on Old & New Concrete

Existing floors with stains and blemishes often produce the most beautiful staining results.

Interior & Exterior Use

Suitable for indoor living areas, garages, patios, driveways, and commercial spaces.

Low Maintenance

Sealed stained concrete is easy to sweep and mop, and resists staining from everyday use.

Cost-Effective

A beautiful, durable decorative finish at a lower cost than most decorative flooring alternatives.
