Acid Staining
Although called acid stains, acid isn't the ingredient that colours the concrete. Metallic salts in an acidic, water-based solution reacts with hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) present in hardened concrete to yield insoluble, coloured compounds that become a permanent part of the concrete.
The "acid" in chemical stains open the top surface of the concrete, allowing metallic salts to reach the free lime deposits. Water from the stain solution then fuels the reaction, usually for about a month after the stain has been applied. Chemical stains can be applied to new or old, plain or coloured concrete surfaces. Results will vary depending on the concrete substrate and a multitude of substrate choices.
Acid Concrete Stain is the perfect choice for both interior and exterior surfaces. Often used for commercial purposes, concrete staining lends a clean, attractive look to driveways, patios, walk-ways, entrances and any concrete floor.
It is perfect for high-traffic areas and is very affordable. When applied to a finished concrete floor, Acid Concrete Stain transforms an ordinary concrete slab into a luxurious floor, resembling marble or glazed stone.
Unlike paint, Acid Concrete Stain reacts with the mineral already present in the concrete, giving it the look and feel of the natural stone. Each concrete slab accepts the stain in varying degrees of intensity, creating stunning, multi-hued colour variations and an uneven surface that looks perfectly aged. Acid Staining can be installed with topical sealers, polished concrete and other floor finishes.
A colour chart of Acid Stains on concrete is available. The colours are accurate representations although your actual results may vary due to variations in concrete density, composition and age. We always recommend performing test patches in adjacent areas or rooms prior to proceeding with the installation.

Integral colour conditioning provides a rich, diverse colour palette that is evenly dispersed, uniform and streak free throughout the concrete mix. The integral colour system delivers reliable colour conditioning and performance characteristics providing tremendous aesthetics and superior performance when used in conjunction with the Retro Plate concrete polishing system.
Decorative Concrete Engraving for Existing Concrete

Decorative Cementitous Overlayments
An innovative system for beautiful and stylish floors, a decorative cementitous overlayment is ideal for the high traffic requirements of retail, showrooms or lobbies. It provides a flat, hard, coloured or uncoloured cementitous topping that is self-leveling and quick curing for fast-track construction or resurfacing. It levels and restores existing floors, corrects construction errors and serves as a base for colour effects produced by chemical stains. Decorative cementitous overlayments are environmentally friendly and formulated to provide safe use in sensitive interior spaces
