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.

Transform ordinary,
gray concrete into colorful and beautiful surfaces.
Unlike conventional paint or coatings that flake and peel, Staincrete's
unique formula penetrates and chemically reacts to become a permanent
part of your concrete.
This is the perfect
color system for both interior and exterior projects. With staincrete
you have an unlimited palette of design options as well as the durability
and strength of concrete.
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.
