By Concrete stain and coating service :
Concrete staining is a quick and inexpensive technique used to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the concrete surface. It is a type of flooring that involves pouring a water-based solution onto a washed concrete surface, which later becomes a permanent part of the concrete surface.
Concrete staining provides one of the most cost-effective solutions for achieving a beautiful, easy to clean flooring surface that can remain sustainable in high traffic areas.

The Types of Concrete Stains and How They Work
When you go shopping for concrete stain, you’ll find two types of products. Each one colors concrete differently and offers a different look.
REACTIVE STAINS
A traditional acid-based concrete stain reacts chemically with the concrete surface to produce variegated, translucent color tones and attractive marbling effects. A true acid-based concrete stain contains metallic salts that react with the concrete’s lime content. Once the chemical reaction takes place, the stain forms a permanent bond with the concrete and won’t chip off or peel away.
NONREACTIVE STAINS
A newer category of concrete stains are water-based acrylics. These products don’t rely on a chemical reaction to impart color. Instead, they work more like a paint by depositing their pigment particles in the pores of the concrete. These stains come in a much broader palette of colors than acid stains, and they are easier to apply. But their color effects tend to be more opaque and more uniform.
HOW TO STAIN CONCRETE
Staining concrete is a great way to add color to an otherwise dull surface. The concrete staining process takes about 2 days, is moderately difficult and fairly affordable. New concrete should be fully cured before staining, which takes between 21 and 28 days.
Whether you’re a professional wanting to add staining to your repertoire or a homeowner who loves a DIY challenge, here are the steps for staining concrete:
- Clean and prepare the concrete
- Apply the concrete stain
- Clean up and neutralize the stain
- Seal your concrete for long-term protection

How to Protect Stained Concrete
Applying stained concrete sealers
Once a concrete floor or slab is stained, it’s important to protect it with a compatible sealer to help it resist water, stains, dirt, and abrasion. For floors, you should also apply a floor wax or finish to help preserve the sealer. A floor finish is easy to maintain and much easier to reapply than a sealer. Simply buff it out and reapply more when necessary. To keep exterior stained concrete protected, apply a new coat of sealer every year or two, or as necessary. When you begin to notice that water no longer beads up on the surface, it’s time to reseal.
