ACID STAINS & DYE WASHES
Acid stains and dye washes can be blended for a dramatic watercolor effect. Acid stains chemically react with concrete, creating a permanent color that won't fade, chip or peel. They are variegated and mottled in color, resembling weathered bronze or patined copper.

Dye washes are translucent color pigments that penetrate into concrete pores, adding to the depth and richness of color. By blending acid stains and dye washes together in a precise manner, one-dimensional floors can take on the characteristic of a prismatic painting. When permanently colored and sealed, architectural concrete takes on a nuance of light and shadow; making it an ideal flooring option.

   
 

OVERLAYMENTS
Today the look, strength, and durability of stone can be achieved in a 1/8" topcoat. This acrylic modified cementicious topcoat is applied by trowel and is then re-troweled until the desired surface is achieved. This product allows The Concrete Colorist to mimic a truly steel troweled slab.

Unlike other topcoats, this product will not chip. The largest benefit of this product is it's natural look & feel. It does not resemble the plastic looking topcoats of the past. This topcoat can be integrally colored or stained to achieve unlimited flooring options.
