What is Staincrete?

Concrete acid stain is not a paint or coating agent, rather, it is a coloring process involving a chemical reaction on concrete. The solution made with water, acid and metallic salts reacted with minerals already present in the concrete. The result of this action is color pantene.

Concrete staining is not only beautiful in any setting but also versatile. Many unique design effects can be achieved with the use of additional contrasting colors.

This process works very well on old or new concrete. Acid stain is a very durable product if properly protected with sealer or wax, and it can be applied to both interiors and exteriors. The finish won't fade or chip, it's permanent.

What is Acid-Etch Staining?

Picture a concrete coloring agent that produces a unique look whenever it is applied. Combine this process with the process of adding decorative saw cuts for grout lines and you have acid-etch staining. The magic of the acid staining process is that no two floors look the same after treatment. With staincrete, you have an infinite number of possible results limited only by the creativity of the installer.
