Stained Concrete Designs
Stained concrete has long been popular in the commercial industry due to its proven durability and versatility. Because of this and its ability to beautifully add depth to a room, concrete stain has found its way into residential design trends. With the option to use an acid-based stain or water-based acrylic, the results our Concrete Craft designers can achieve are almost limitless.
Our MasterPro Stain™ products are a unique line of concrete stains that penetrate the concrete surface to produce a vibrant, long-lasting, UV-resistant surface, that enhances any concrete floor. It's the ideal finish for renovating concrete surfaces and giving your surroundings a unique touch. With our resurfacing and concrete staining process you can create an infinite array of designs, colors and special effects, including antiqued, variegated, mottled, a consistent monochromatic color, or stenciled on both interior and exterior surfaces.
Unfortunately, a concrete stain cannot hide pre-existing cracks, flaws or blemishes in concrete. If your existing concrete slab has major cracks or spalling, be sure to ask about our proprietary resurfacing process over existing concrete to get your slab in tip-top shape before a stain is applied. The condition of your concrete also affects what type of concrete stain will provide the absolute best result. Concrete Craft professionals will evaluate the condition of your concrete during our free in-home/on-site consultation and, depending on its condition and your desired look, either an acid-based or water-based concrete stain will be recommended.
Acid-based stains can breathe new life into your concrete and, because no two concrete substrates respond to the acid stain reaction the same, the results are truly one-of-a-kind. To achieve the best results, acid-based concrete stains require the concrete substrate to be in good condition and properly prepped. Damaged concrete or concrete treated with sealing agents, for example, may cause inconsistent coloring or will not allow the stain to absorb into the concrete. Concrete Craft professionals have a wealth of knowledge on what to look for and are trained to create the perfect concrete canvas to accept acid-based concrete stains.
Water-based stains transform dull concrete surfaces into works of art. Our water-based, non-acid stains contain polymer bonding agents to permanently adhere to your existing concrete and can be applied on less-than-perfect-surfaces if they are properly prepped. Since water-based concrete stains do not chemically react to your concrete, like acid-based stains do, water-based stains give our concrete artisans the ability to adjust and blend colors for a more predictable color application that fits your home decor and personal style. Water-based stains also have the added benefit of being eco-friendly and low in VOCs.
Stained concrete is one of the most reasonably priced options out there, especially when you consider the low maintenance and longevity of this material. Whether you're looking for the deep tones and marbling effects of acid-based staining or the vibrancy of water-based staining, we’ll give your home a sense of uniqueness and artisan flair that is sure to make your friends and family envious. Trust Concrete Craft's expertise to ensure your concrete is prepped correctly and each stain is skillfully applied providing your home a unique, durable, beautifully stained concrete surface for the years ahead.
