Concrete Staining In Connecticut
Concrete Staining has gained popularity over the past decade. Stained concrete brings a rustic look to modern architecture. Chemical colorants are applied artistically by skilled technicians to create an old world antique look or an ultra modern design using different colors in a hand made pattern of your choice.
Concrete surfaces treated with Stain, including commercial plazas, driveways, sidewalks, patios, garage floors, basement and all interior concrete floors and lobbies, and even walls are given a subtle shaded color with natural beauty. The color will not chip, crack or wear off like coatings because the stain penetrates and colors both the concrete surface and substrate.
The concrete can be in almost any condition and still become a candidate for staining. DiamondKote® technicians can apply stains to a new concrete floor of a severely damaged surface by overlaying the concrete with a new layer of cement that can be as thin as a credit card.
The stained surfaces are sealed with clear resinous acrylics, epoxies, and urethanes to give floors a life expectancy of over 50 years with proper maintenance.

Acid Staining
Acid Stains are penetrating liquid stains that create chemical reactions with the cement content in a concrete surface which produce unique colors and variegated effects. Acid stains by DiamondKote® have that old world antique flair with rich earth tone colors and shades. Acid stains can produce a wide variety of shades that can differ from the color charts depending on the concrete substrate.
