Shop acid stained concrete in Chattanooga, Huntsville, & Nashville, visit our showroom today! Acid stained concrete creates beautiful, varied colors on interior or exterior cured concrete by reacting with the cement on the concrete's surface. Acid stains are very durable and the colors they yield will last as long as the concrete surface that they are applied on. Every concrete floor contains a different amount of minerals resulting in variation in coloration and shading. The mottled and varied appearance of acid stained concrete floors is common and is also one of the big reasons concrete stain has so much appeal.

Water-based concrete stain is a transparent stain that eliminates the need for neutralizing the chemical reaction required by acid staining. Water-based stains do not contain caustic ingredients and can be used as an alternative to solvent and acid-based staining. If you are looking to rejuvenate existing interior or exterior concrete with less work water-based staining might be your desired product.

Acetone Concrete Stain

Acetone concrete stain is a versatile transparent stain that can go on interior or exterior cured concrete surfaces, and provides a myriad of color options for your next flooring project.< Click image to enlarge
Acetone concrete stain is a versatile transparent stain that can go on interior or exterior cured concrete surfaces. This stain uses acetone as the penetrating agent for the stain and dries very quickly. This concrete stain available in our Chattanooga, Nashville & Huntsville locations creates a solid coloration with slight modeling effects but can be enhanced depending on the technique and color combinations used. This product is UV stable, so using it outside or in a room that receives natural light will not result in the color fading over time. While other stains can be applied using a standard pump sprayer, any stain using acetone will require an acetone sprayer. Otherwise, the acetone will eat through the seals in the standard sprayer and create a mess. This product CANNOT be polished.

FAQS

  • How do you acid stain concrete?
    Concrete acid stain is a liquid that contains various minerals and acid. The acid stain seeps into the pores of the concrete which causes a chemical response between the acid and available lime within the surface. This permanently alters the color of the concrete once acid stained.
  • What is the most important step in acid staining?
    Surface preparation is the most important step when applying an acid stain to concrete floors. Before staining, an area must meet the following criteria: The concrete must be completely free of debris, which requires stringent cleaning. Acid stain cannot mix appropriately with the concrete if anything else is present.
  • How soon can you acid stain concrete after pouring it?
    Freshly poured concrete can be acid stained twenty to twenty-eight days after the pour.
  • What step of acid staining do competitors frequently miss?
    Neutralizing is the most commonly ignored step of the acid stain process. The concrete needs to return to a basic state and be cleared of any unreacted stain and stain buildup after coloring. It’s important to clean off any extra acid buildup, otherwise there will be issues when sealing the floor.
  • How will you protect my walls when staining the concrete?
    We mask off all walls with tape and plastic sheeting to prevent any damage.
  • How is acid staining different from painting concrete?
    Paint sits on top of concrete, whereas an acid stain penetrates the concrete and adds color while allowing the natural concrete to show through.
  • Are there specific colors that can only be used indoors or outdoors?
    Most concrete stains on the market today, whether they are water-based or chemically reactive (acid-based), can be used on both interior and exterior concrete.
  • How do you create different tones of a color when applying an acid stain?
    For an even-toned color we spray the acid stain in a circular motion. For a dark toned color we will use a brush to work the acid stain into the surface. Then we spray on a second coat to eliminate any brush strokes on the surface. For a diffused look, we spray the stain onto the surface without brushing.
  • Can I see the colors in-person?
    Yes, we have decorative concrete showrooms at our Chattanooga, Huntsville, and Nashville locations.
  • Is acid stained concrete resident to abrasions?
    Because acid stains deeply penetrate and chemically react with the concrete, they provide great resistance to fading and wear over time and act as good barriers to moisture penetration.
  • What brands of acid stain do you offer?
    Our brands are Surfkoat Heritage Acid Stain, Kemiko Stone Tone Concrete Stain, Surfkoat Kolour Dye, and Surecrete Pigmented Acrylics.
