Creating Your Own One-Of-A-Kind Concrete Floor

The fact that no two concrete polishing or staining projects will be exactly the same is one of the things that gives it such appeal. One of the reasons for this is the concrete itself. The age, composition, porosity, texture of environmental conditions of the concrete will all effect the look. But is for the reason that staining concrete has such an appeal.

The other kind of concrete stain is a water based acrylic which does rely on chemical reaction. It imparts color through permeating the pores of the concrete. There is a wider variety of colors to choose from with this type. Also this stain will give a uniform look, and is more opaque. This type of stain is used more often.

Regardless of the age or condition of the concrete it can be stained. As long as there are no huge cracks, oil stains or sealer applied to the concrete. If the cracks are large, or there is an extreme amount of oil staining you may want to apply a layer of a concrete solution before beginning, in which case you should let the new concrete approximately 30 days before staining.
