When considering the advantages over other flooring choices, it is easy to understand the popularity of acid stained floors:
Different designs that model each concrete floor slightly different from any other, as the concrete slab accepts stain in varying degrees of intensity, creating multiple shades of color variations.
Concrete provides the most durable floor possible, and is easy to clean and quickly dry.
Scoring can be included in order to add extra unique designs to the floor, whether it is a simple tile pattern or a complex custom design.
Acid staining is cheaper than most other floor coverings, most tiles, hardwoods and even some types of carpeting.
What is Acid Staining?
Since concrete consists mainly of lime, the application of acids causes a reaction and is created in different colors. The rule of thumb is that the darker the product, the more lime within the cement. The acid and color penetrate no more than 1/32 of an inch, thus becoming a part of the concrete. The lime does not disperse evenly throughout the piece when a concrete flooring slab, countertop or stairs are poured on. Consequently when the acid is added a variegated look occurs. Since each concrete slab has a slightly different chemical makeup, no two acid stained slabs can produce exactly the same look.
If you hesitate to use acid staining, water-based stains or soy-based stains are present, but they need to be more frequently re-coated and resealed; the acid staining process requires little maintenance to maintain its beauty.
