Concrete Acid Staining & Etching
Floors - Countertops - Verticals
Beautiful color variations can be achieved:
Not your typical concrete finish
Acid staining (or acid etching) of concrete produces such a stunning
and unique look whenever applied, that no two surfaces are alike
after being enhanced with this technique. Acid staining is less
expensive than tile or other hard surfaces, and is far more durable
and custom than carpet.
That's the magic and artistry of the acid-etch chemical staining process -
an infinite number of possible results limited only by the creativity of the
installer.
Unlike the traditional means of acid etching, our professionally
installed system uses salt-acid based stains, eliminating the use
of a caustic muriatic acid wash to prepare the cement surface.
This reduces installation time as well as making the introduction
of hazardous materials to the installation area a thing of the
past. Since Acid-Stains penetrate into the concrete when applied,
the resulting finish is as durable as the concrete it decorates.
The possibilities are endless
Using cement overlayment materials specially prepared to accept the
acid stains, resurfacing can now be done to existing concrete that
is unsightly or otherwise unable to accept the stains itself. With
overlayment, installations are also no longer limited to concrete
flooring.
Specialty finishes such as saw-cut patterning, borders, inlays, and stamping
can also add to the beauty of any installation.
Many surfaces can be prepared to accept acid stains:
- New or existing concrete
- Formica countertops
- Shower Surrounds
- Walls
- Furniture
- Moldings
