Acid Staining and Concrete Dyes

Acid staining is one of the most popular decorative concrete solutions due to its ability to create rich, natural color variations that resemble stone, marble, or leather. By chemically reacting with the minerals in the concrete, acid stains produce unique patterns that cannot be duplicated—making every floor one of a kind. Concrete dyes, on the other hand, offer a more predictable and vibrant color result, perfect for modern or artistic applications.

Benefits of Acid Stains and Dyes

  • Permanent, fade-resistant color
  • Custom, artistic visual effects
  • Works indoors and outdoors
  • Large selection of colors and tones
  • Ideal for homes, offices, and retail spaces

Whether you want warm earth tones, bold designer colors, or something subtle and elegant, these solutions allow for complete customization of your floor.

Concrete Sealers and Waxing

Once your floor is stained or dyed, sealing is essential to protect the surface from stains, moisture, abrasion, and everyday wear. Decorative Concrete Designer offers professional-grade sealing solutions tailored to your floor’s specific needs.

Acrylic, penetrating, and solvent-based sealers are used depending on the desired durability and finish. Waxing can also be added as a topcoat to extend the life of the sealer while offering easier maintenance and improved surface protection.

Why Sealing Matters

  • Protects the color and finish
  • Adds depth and clarity to the floor
  • Reduces wear from foot traffic
  • Helps resist stains and spills
  • Makes cleaning and maintenance effortless

Nonskid Additives for Safety

For floors that experience moisture or heavy foot traffic, nonskid additives provide improved traction without compromising appearance. These materials are blended into the sealer to create a slight texture that enhances safety.

Ideal Applications for Nonskid Additives

  • Pool decks
  • Patios and outdoor walkways
  • Commercial entryways
  • Garage floors
  • High-traffic retail spaces

By increasing grip, nonskid additives reduce the risk of slips while maintaining an attractive, professional finish.

Urethane Sealers (High or Satin Finish)

Urethane sealers are known for their exceptional durability and long-term performance. They offer superior chemical resistance, abrasion protection, and a sleek finish ideal for high-use areas such as restaurants, showrooms, offices, and residential interiors.

You can choose from:

  • High-gloss urethane: Creates a shiny, reflective surface
  • Satin urethane: Offers a softer, low-sheen appearance

Both options enhance the richness of the stain while extending the life of your flooring system.

Scored Tiles or Borders

Scoring allows us to turn a plain concrete floor into a custom work of art. By cutting clean, decorative lines into the surface, we can create the look of tile, stone, or patterned borders without the cost of real materials.

  • Custom borders and banding
  • Geometric designs
  • Free-form accents for artistic floors

Scoring pairs beautifully with acid staining or dyes, giving your floor a high-end, fully customized appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Is Acid Staining?

    Acid staining is a decorative concrete process that creates permanent, variegated color by reacting with the minerals in the concrete surface.

  • How Long Does an Acid-Stained Floor Last?

    When properly sealed and maintained, acid-stained floors can last decades without fading or peeling.

  • Can Acid Stain Be Applied to Any Concrete Surface?

    Most concrete surfaces can be stained, but the condition of the slab will affect the final result. Clean, bare concrete yields the best finish.

  • Do Concrete Floors Require a Sealer?

    Yes. Sealers protect the color, prevent wear, and make the surface easier to maintain.

  • Are Acid-Stained Floors Slippery?

    They can be, depending on the finish. Adding nonskid additives improves traction and safety.
