Brighten up a Concrete Jungle
Concrete staining is a means to alter the appearance of existing concrete by creating new textures, color or design. A translucent concrete stain helps add an ascetically decorative touch to otherwise drab concrete.
In contrast everyone loves the natural look and feel that wood and semi-transparent stains offer. This is because the natural look and feel of the grain remains easily visible.
With a translucent concrete stain, you are achieving this same rule of effect. The translucent appearance will highlight the natural variations in any concrete or masonry surface. This will give your concrete an earthly, rich, multi-toned and layered appearance.
Behind the Science
Water based polymer formulations are known to mimic the effects and appearance of more sophisticated acid etching. Mostly due to the translucent effect which is naturally produced by this material. While water-based stains bond with the concrete the added polymer resins help to increase its performance and versatility.
