What is the best stain to use on my concrete floor?
There are several concrete colorants available for staining your floor, each with its own advantages and drawbacks. Concrete stains primarily fall into three categories: Acid Stain, Water-Based Stain, and Dyes. Acid stains have been favored for many years due to their chemical reaction with the concrete's minerals, resulting in a distinctive color, though they offer limited control over how the color spreads. In contrast, water-based stains provide enhanced color control and are typically easier to apply. Concrete dyes can achieve a broader spectrum of vibrant colors but tend to be less transparent than acid and water-based stains, producing a more solid appearance. Ultimately, the design of your floor and your color selections will largely determine which concrete colorant is best suited for your stained floor project.
I want a stained concrete floor, but my concrete is ugly. Can I overcome it?
Many floors can suffer from unsightly stains, damage, and minor cracks, but you are not alone in this experience. For these situations, we suggest removing the cream coat of the concrete and applying a fresh concrete overlay. You have various options to choose from, such as micro-cements, thin overlays, and stampable overlays. Each type of overlay serves as a blank canvas that can be integrally colored and stained to rejuvenate your floor’s appearance.
Can I add a Stained logo or stencil to my floor?
Yes, you can absolutely use stencils with concrete stains, as they work exceptionally well together. The pricing for this service can differ based on the size of the stencil and the number of colors required to achieve the desired appearance. Whether you choose a logo or an array of graphics, stencils provide a fantastic opportunity to customize your flooring. Be sure to reach out to a member of the Advanced Surface Solution team to explore the stencil options available in your area.
Is stained concrete only for interior use?
Stained concrete offers a versatile solution for both interior and exterior floors and walls, but when selecting colors for exterior surfaces, it is essential to choose hues that are UV-stable, resulting in a more limited color palette compared to interior flooring options.
