Features

The technique determines the outcome.

For a highly colored opaque floor, apply dyes or tints to the concrete floor.
For a somewhat aged or more natural look, apply stains.
A wide range of color choices expands the possibilities of the finished look.

Finish

Acid-stained concrete allows the variations in the concrete slab to show.

In acid-stained concrete, color binds with the lime and becomes part of the concrete. Therefore, the color will not chip or fade. Staining reveals the variations in the concrete slab.

Dyes and tints can provide vibrant colors not attainable with stains.

Dyes are often used with acid stains to produce a variegated look and, in most cases, complement the already stained floor. Dyes and tints can be opaque, hiding many of the natural variations in the concrete color.
