Stains.
Color that soaks into the concrete itself rather than sitting on top as a coating.
What is a concrete stain?
Stains add color to the concrete itself instead of covering it with a coating.
The color soaks into the surface, so the result follows the character of the slab: natural variation, mottling and changes in tone are part of the look.
Why people choose stains.
-
Color in the concrete
The stain becomes part of the surface rather than a layer on top of it.
-
Natural variation
Mottling and tone changes come from the slab, so every floor is different.
-
Still looks like concrete
For spaces where you want the material itself to show.
Stains or Metallic?
Both are decorative. A stain colors the concrete itself and keeps its natural character; metallic is a coating with depth and movement.
Good to know.
-
Because a stain shows the slab, existing cracks, patches and marks stay visible. It does not hide them the way a coating does.
-
The same color can look different from one slab to another, so a sample is a guide rather than an exact match.
Stains questions
-
Will a stain hide cracks?
No. Because a stain colors the concrete itself, existing cracks, patches and marks stay visible. A coating such as flake or solid color covers them.
How the floor goes in.
Our process-
Consultation
We look at the space, talk through how it is used and send a written estimate.
-
Preparation
Industrial grinding equipment with professional dust collection, then crack repair and cleaning, so the coating can bond.
-
Installation
Primer, body coats and finish applied in sequence, with cure times respected.
-
Final Result
A walkthrough together, plus care instructions before we hand the floor back.
Start with a written estimate.
Tell us about the space and what you need. We will follow up to schedule a site visit.
