Stained concrete floors have become a popular choice these days that serves residential as well as commercial needs. They are popping up everywhere in restaurants, retail stores, offices, commercial outlets with endless options of colors and designs. The color and application which is used in stained concrete derives different results which varies from lustrous marble polishing to natural stone or tanned lather. The kind of stain used defines the stained concrete floors cost. No two concrete floors can look similar due to differences in composition and age of concrete. Some of us wonder that how the concrete floor stain colors appear, what is the process behind it. Well, there are two categories of concrete stains- non reactive and reactive. Reactive category is water based acidic solution that contains metallic salts. It reacts with lime content of concrete, which results into permanent bond with concrete that won’t peel off. The second category is non-reactive which are water based acrylic stains. It doesn’t rely on chemical reaction to impart colors to floor. They are devised to penetrate in concrete surface, which later on penetrates their particles in open pores of concrete. It has become quite popular these days because they come in huge variety and are easy to apply.
Both the categories of stained concrete can be applied over new or old concrete surface. You just have to consider the condition of your concrete before applying it. It should be properly cleaned and shouldn’t have big cracks or holes. A good flooring service provider can always help you to get the best stained concrete floors at nominal cost which can simply beautify your entire home. |
