What is Acid Staining Concrete?

If a random person approached you on the street and asked you what color concrete is, what would your response be? You might look around for a second and spot an old familiar color right beneath your feet. You know, that all too drab shade of grey that sidewalks, garages and basement floors have conditioned us to associate with that building material known as concrete. It’s true, that this grey is one shade of concrete and perhaps an all too common one, but did you know there are actually thousands of unique colors, tones and textures that you can get out of concrete?

Concrete probably offers you more options that traditional flooring options like, stone, wood, and carpet. There are a lot of different techniques that can be used to achieve a multitude of looks and feels from concrete. Staining is a way of coloring the concrete. This colorization allows for many different color tones in concrete. Stains can be controlled to make structured designs and patterns, or it can be used in layers to imitate multi-toned building materials like stone and wood. Combining stained concrete with other concrete treatments like epoxy coatings adds many other dimensions to concrete. For example, clear epoxy coatings can be used to treat and change the look of stained concrete. A high gloss epoxy finish can give stained concrete the look of polished stone which can completely change the look and feel of a room.
