Acrylic Concrete Stains
"Acrylic concrete stains are excellent alternative for
concrete not suitable for acid stains!"
Acrylic concrete stains are ideal for coloring just about any concrete surface. These stains penetrate the surface to create semitransparent coloring. Unlike the chemical process of acid stains, acrylic stains act like a dye which produce a more uniform appearance. They are thin like milk which allows them to seep into the pores. Because of this, acrylic stains won't peel or flake away like paint. They work well for new or existing concrete surfaces and especially those with too many cosmetic defects for acid staining.
You can use these stains on interior and exterior surfaces including:
- Patios
- Porches
- Driveways
- Walkways
- Retaining walls
- Landscape steps
- Garage floors
- Basement floors
They are resistant to UV rays, foot traffic, heat from vehicle tires, moisture, mildew, acids and alkalis as well as mother nature.
These stains also come in a wide selection of colors, more than that of acid stains. You can also use blending techniques to create your own unique marbling effect or use an object such as a sponge to make patterns with accent colors. But whether you want a simple color or multiple color patterns, acrylic stains will make your dull concrete much more appealing.
You can also perform simple scoring techniques to further enhance a concrete surface. Use your imagination to create designs and patterns.
