FAQ: What is Stained Concrete Flooring?
Stained concrete is a way of coloring concrete to achieve a certain design or look. Using pigments in water, acidic-washes, acetone, as well as integrated into a cement or concrete mix. All stained concrete floors should be sealed, but not all sealed concrete flooring has a stain. This is why stained concrete flooring is an add-on option for other types of sealing; such as epoxy, concrete polishing, or penetrating sealants.
Types of Concrete Staining Flooring
There are essentially 3 types of Stained Concrete Flooring produced. Water-Based Stain, Integral-Overlay Coloring, and Mixes such as Acid-Etch, Acetone, or Densifiers; each with their own use-case. While water-based staining is the most common and regularly use modern day stain, you can find a use for each type.
Water-Based Stain
Great addition to many finishes, water-based stain is now the current industry standard. With pigment sizes becoming so fine, current stains are easier to handle, more eco-friendly, and maintain themself over time just as good as any etch-based stain.
Easiest Addition to Finishing Projects.

Integral-Overlay
When you need uniform coloring, an overlay (as little as 3/8" depth overall) of a cementicious material make for beautifully colored finished spaces. With pigment mixed directly into the overlay product itself, the color doesn't wear and is uniform in look.
If not already doing overlay, can increase project cost considerably.

Acid-Etch / Acetone Based Stain
