Concrete stains are either water-based or acid-based stains. They can be applied to any type of concrete – plain, old, new or colored. Concrete staining can also be done for both indoor and outdoor concrete floors. Concrete kitchen countertops can also be stained.

To achieve your desired color, design and effects, the concrete surface should be freed of any particles or materials. These can prevent the stain from penetrating the concrete surface which will in turn prevent the achievement of your desired results.

Types of Concrete Stains

Concrete stains are categorized as being reactive or non-reactive.

1. Acidic solutions (water-based) are reactive stains. When the acidic solution is applied and reacts with the lime content of concrete, the stain will permanently bond with the concrete floor. The end result will be a stained concrete floor that will not peel away or chip off.
2. Acrylic stains (water-based) are non-reactive stains. No chemical reaction takes place for color top adhere to the concrete floor. Acrylic stains penetrate the open pores of the concrete surface and leave behind the color pigments.

Non-reactive concrete stains are often preferred because they have more colors and are easier to apply than acid stains. Non-reactive stains though are not as translucent as the acidic stains. They tend to appear more opaque.

Concrete Staining Color Options

Acid stains have lesser color options and are mostly available in earth tones (brown, tan, terracotta and the like). Colors can be mixed and matched prior to application to come up with more hues. A different stain color can also be applied over a different color to achieve a new color. Deeper effects can be achieved by applying a second coat.

Acrylic stains (water-based) have more color options. They are available in white, black and standard colors. They are available in metallic tints, too. Colors can also be mixed prior to application for more color options.
