Acid Stained Concrete Floors

Our acid stained concrete flooring system may be used on a variety of porous concrete surfaces to add color to uncolored concrete or to change the color of concrete that has already been colored. The acid-etching and acid stains produce variegated, translucent color effects that are unique to each surface. Enhance the shadings of the natural stone or create amazing faux finishes that become a permanent characteristic of the concrete. Acid stained concrete will not fade, chip, crack or peel.
