Acid Staining

Acid staining creates a mottled, uneven, translucent coloration effect on concrete surfaces such as concrete overlays and conventional concrete.  The natural, aged-looking coloring process is so authentic that the look rivals that of weathered stone, slate and marble.

Color is achieved when the combination of metallic salts and slightly acidic solution come in contact and react with the minerals in concrete.  This color reaction results in a look so unique that it cannot be duplicated by other coloring methods.  The color becomes a permanent part of the surface which will not chip, flake or peel and only wears when the concrete surface wears.
