Stained Concrete
A decently completed stain job will impart a luxurious richness which simply cannot be achieved by using another color medium. Rather than producing a solid, opaque effect such as paint. Staining the concrete ensures it permeates to infuse it with translucent and luminous tones. This effect may vary depending on the surface and the techniques used to apply it. The results achieved can vary from a polished marble look to tanned leather or natural stone. We have even managed to achieve the stained wood effect.
At Concrete Pros, Bedford we use our years of experience to ensure you get the stain you pay for. Costs. We understand the cost aspect can vary just as much as the choices we provide our clients when it comes to concrete staining. Then cost is simply determined by the complexity of the staining project at hand. For those applying a basic single stain color with sealer and a minimal surface prep will clearly cost less than a staining job which contains complex saw patterns, multiple color buildups and stencil work. The size of the job, location of the site, material and labor costs will also have a direct impact on the costs of the staining job. Stained Concrete Patios. This remains one of the most cost-effective and versatile ways to upgrade and improve your new or existing patio. This process allows you to add subtle hints of color, bolder design accents and now days even custom designed graphics. The stain will deeply penetrate into the concretes surface. This allows it to produce a permanent and fade-resistant color finish. This ensures the color will not fad or chip like normal painted surfaces. It is also possible to stain existing patio surfaces. This will revitalize the dull and worn out surface. Concrete Pros, Bedford has the right solution for all your staining needs. Acid Vs Water Staining. Both acid based chemical stains and acrylic based water staining can be used on new or old concrete patios. Acid staining works by penetrating the surface and causing a chemical reaction which allows the acid to etch itself into the surface more easily. Once the stains reacts to the chemicals it is now permanently etched into the concrete. Water based staining is for those clients looking for a wider variety when it comes to color choice. This base is designed to enhance the natural color and is not meant to cover it up. So no matter what your color desires may be, we have them stained. Indoor Vs Outdoor Staining. Simply put, most concrete strainers on the market today are dual purpose. Both suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Whether it be water or acid based solutions. However we do suggest that our clients keep the following aspects in mind when making their choice. These include exposure conditions, ease of application, achieving your desired look and feel, ease of application and safety environmental concerns Once they have a concrete answer to all these factors our experts at Concrete Pros, Bedford will assist the client in any way possible to help them achieve there desired effect . |
