Opaque appearance provides deep, rich color
Penetrating concrete stains are designed for beautifying a wide variety of concrete surfaces. Applying stain to your surface will provide a deep rich color that highlights natural variations in its surface. This process involves a few simple steps like conducting a water absorption test, general surface cleaning and application of the material. An application is easily accomplished using a brush, sponge or pump-type sprayer.
• Apply at 200 – 400 square feet per gallon.
Resulting color can vary depending on the porosity of the substrate, application method, and color of the surface. More porous concrete will generally result in darker finishes. Rougher surfaces may result in uneven coloring.
• Available in 1-Gallon bottles and 5-Gallon Pails.
Penetrating or Acid Based
Penetrating Concrete Stain will create an opaque color effect on a concrete surface and begin to act more like a coating. This polymer bond, typically a blend of acrylic polymers and pigments, penetrate concrete or masonry to produce this wide range of permanent opaque color. As the properties of the stain act as a penetrating coating no actual chemical reaction occurs. This allows for a more consistent and radiant color tone throughout. Acid-based alternatives on the hand will permanently alter the properties of the concrete due to their acidic nature. Traditional water-based products are also generally safer and easier to use.
Coloring a Personal Canvas
In all, penetrating concrete stains create a very smooth surface that are simple to clean. They quickly transform dull looking concrete into individual canvases. Concrete stained floors generally do not fade their color and are more resistant to the effects of peeling and chipping. This makes for an ideal solution to someone looking for that personal or unique appeal.
