What is Concrete Acid Stain?
Concrete Acid Stain is not a paint or coating agent,
rather, it's a coloring process involving a chemical reaction on a cementitious
material. A solution made with water, acid and inorganic salts reacts with
minerals already present in the concrete, the result of this reaction is
color. It works very well on new or old concrete, and we've seen impressive
results over decorative polymer overlays as well as self-leveling products.
Acid Stain is a very durable product if properly protected with sealer
or wax, and it can be applied to both interiors and exteriors.
What makes Acid Stain so attractive? Acid Stain
gives concrete a mottled, variegated, marble like look. It creates beautiful
colors on concrete, mostly earth tone browns, reddish browns and greens,
although now more vibrant colors are becoming available for a variety of
taste and effects blues, violet and pink tints. You can also create your
own shades by mixing and matching your available colors, or applying them
at different rates. Never expect Acid Stain to be uniform or have an even
tone, you'll get different reactions from slab to slab, and even on the
same job you may see different coloration patterns but this adds to the
rich look of the staining process. Using different methods with staining
process, such as multi-color, different ways to apply the stain , scoring
patterns, texture and sealing, a wide variety of effects can be achieved.
Acid Stain can be applied to walks, entrances,
driveways, living rooms, bathrooms, patios, floors, high traffic areas
and even vertically to any cementitious surface.
Not every concrete floor is eligible for Acid
Stain, though age is not an issue, the shape it's in is. A smooth concrete
surface will yield more attractive results than an old worn one, but the
older floors add lots of character with imperfections that become part
of the over all look. If the concrete is spalled, the aggregate is exposed
or has previously been acid etched, the stain may not "take in" and will
not look as desired because the aggregate does not react with the stain,
only materials in the concrete paste do. On some applications where the
surface is textured, as in stamped concrete or stamped overlays, Acid Stain
provides even more depth of color, larger selection and realistic look
to the surface.
Preparations for Acid Staining will depend on
the condition of the slab, on new concrete the only thing needed is to
allow time for curing, (at least three weeks after poured) and some rinsing
and scrubbing to remove laitance. For old concrete, a thorough cleaning
is necessary; any dirt, grease, paint, sealer or curing agent will prevent
the stain from penetrating and reacting. It is always a good idea to do
a small test area first. So before applying, preparation and thorough planning
the job is a good starting point.
Acid Stain application involves very few tools,
all you need is assorted sprayers, brushes and a saw with a diamond blade
in it for scoring the surface. You can go from a simple design to a very
sophisticated project. The more complicated your design, the more labor
intensive it will become, but the end results are simply stunning. After
the Acid Stain is applied, the floor should be sealed and or waxed to protect
the stain and add shine and depth.
The Decorative Concrete Business has been growing
very rapidly for the last few years, and Acid Stain has been a big part
of this growth. More and more contractors are learning to apply it, and
more homeowners, architects and designers are asking for it. The Acid Stain
market is miles away from being well known and developed, but it has a
very bright and shiny future, and our goal is to help you learn more about
this incredible product.
