Acid Stained, Beautiful Floor Coatings

Acid staining is like giving concrete a vibrant makeover. It's a process that melds science and art to produce a captivating result. Here's a closer look at how it works:

Setting the Stage: Before we start, we make sure the concrete is perfectly prepped by grinding the surface of the concrete and vacuuming it clean. This ensures that the acid stain adheres well and gives the desired effect.

Applying the Acid Stain

We use acid stain colours as selected by the client and apply it to the concrete. The acids interact with the lime mineral content present in the concrete, leading to a chemical reaction that brings forth new colours and intricate patterns. It's a beautiful blend of science and artistic expression.

Playing with Colours

With time, the acid stain penetrates into the concrete, revealing a range of colours that are both captivating and unique. The longer the stain is left on, the more intense and fascinating the colours become. This natural variation is what gives acid-stained surfaces their distinct charm.

Feel Our Design

Once the desired colours and patterns are achieved, we neutralize the acid to halt the reaction. We then meticulously clean the surface to remove any leftover residue. To seal the deal, we apply a protective sealants that both enhance the durability and the vibrancy of the acid-stained concrete.
