Coloring concrete with acid stain is not like paint, traditional concrete stain or other coating agents, rather its a coloring process involving a chemical reaction with cementitous materials. This application is accomplished with a solution of water, acid and inorganic salts which react with the alkaline present in concrete. The result of this reaction is a beautifully modeled permanent colored surface for interior of exterior. Acid stains give concrete a modeled, variegated, marble like appearance in an array of non-uniform earth tone shades. What causes this marbled effect is that the cement is unevenly distributed while the concrete is being finished. Many application techniques can be used, including spraying, brooming, swirling, sponging, ragging and mixing colors. All give fantastic, yet different results. All are guaranteed to give you a unique floor that will never be seen at anyone else's house or place of business. Coverage is ~400 sf/gallon per coat or ~200 sf/gallon for 2 coats. Exact coverage is determined by the porosity of your concrete, weather conditions, and application technique. If you are searching for a completely unique, one of a kind application for your driveway, patio walks, living areas, or even vertical concrete walls, let us create it with acid stain.
