Decorative Concrete Overlay
These applications create a textured decorative finish that is unique and can rival the look of brick, slate, flagstone or ceramic tile at a fraction of the cost of the real thing. Creating a one-of-a-kind look is one of the more popular ideas for Decorative Concrete Overlay products. These styles may use a non-reactive liquid stain, color mixed into the material or a combination of Acid Stain to achieve the desired tone.
Acid Staining
Acid Stains give concrete a mottled, variegated, marble-like look. Acid Stain is not a paint or coating agent - it is a coloring process involving a chemical reaction on a cementitious material. A solution made with water, acid and inorganic salts reacts with minerals already present in the concrete; the result of this reaction is color. Variations of colors and mottling are to be expected and enjoyed. It is the unique random coloration of the stain that gives an Acid Stained floor it's charm.
In addition to the beauty, ease of maintenance and the benifit of a dust free surface, Stained Concrete is also a Flood-Resistant surface. This means that if your home suffers water damage, all you need do is clean the mess and apply a new coat of wax and the floor is looking good again. There is no huge mess of soggy carpet or pads to clean out.
