Upgrade Your COncrete Floors With Acid Staining

Acid stained concrete floors give raw concrete a decorative, sealed finish with natural color variation. At Superior Floor Coatings, we provide concrete staining for homeowners that want a practical floor with a more finished appearance.

What is Acid Stained Concrete?

Unlike a standard coating, acid stained concrete reacts with the minerals in the slab itself. That creates a one-of-a-kind look with movement, depth, and tone. The result is a sealed concrete floor that looks more natural than paint and more custom than a flat solid-color surface.

Where Acid Staining Works best

  • Residential basements, living rooms, & bedrooms
  • Show rooms
  • Outdoor patios & walkways
  • Areas prone to moisture

Our Acid Stain Process

At Superior Floor Coatings, a strong final result starts with the right preparation. Our concrete staining process is designed to bring out the best look in the concrete while creating a sealed finished floor.

1. Raw Concrete

The process starts with raw concrete. The slab needs to be ready to accept the stain so the reaction can happen properly.

2. Sanding and Prep

We sand and prep the surface to create the right starting point for the stain and remove anything that could affect the finished result.

3. Joint Fill

Joints are filled as needed to help create a cleaner overall appearance.

4. Apply Selective Color

The stain is applied carefully to create the desired decorative effect and bring out the natural variation in the floor.

5. Reaction With the Concrete Minerals

This is what makes acid stained concrete different. The acid stain reacts with the minerals already in the concrete to create unique color and depth.

6. Clean Up

After the reaction is complete, the surface is cleaned and neutralized thoroughly to prepare it for sealing.

7. Dry Floor

The floor must be fully dried before the sealer is applied.

8. Apply Sealer

A sealer is applied to protect the finished surface and enhance the final look of the floor.
