Decorative concrete finishes introduce color and character while retaining the qualities of the underlying concrete. We help customers consider appearance, surface condition, and the demands of the space.
Suitable environments
- Restaurants, taprooms, and retail
- Offices and lobbies
- Patios and outdoor living areas
- Residential interiors
Needs it can address
- Adding warmth or color to plain concrete
- A unique, variegated appearance
- Keeping a concrete look without a thick coating
- Coordinating flooring with a design palette
Appearance & finish
Acid and water-based stains react with or color the concrete itself, producing natural variation rather than a uniform painted look. Each slab takes color differently, so the result is distinctive to the floor.
Substrate & project considerations
Existing patches, adhesive residue, and surface damage will show through a stain. We evaluate the slab and discuss realistic expectations, and recommend a protective sealer suited to the space.
How we approach it
- 01
Evaluate and sample
We review the slab and, where useful, test color on a small area.
- 02
Prepare
The surface is cleaned and prepared to accept stain evenly.
- 03
Color and seal
Stain is applied, neutralized as required, and sealed.
Questions
Will the color look exactly like the sample?
Stains react with each slab differently, so expect natural variation. A test area helps set expectations.
Can stained concrete be used outdoors?
Yes, with appropriate exterior products and sealers.
