Learn to Stain Concrete Interior Floors: Step-by-Step Guide from Industry Expert Bob Harris Provides Detailed Instruction

The first book in a series of three best-selling educational guides for the decorative concrete industry, Bob Harris' Guide to Stained Concrete Interior Floors provides contractors with comprehensive instructions for creating one-of-a-kind stained concrete floors.

Yucaipa, CA (PRWEB) February 21, 2007 -- Decorative concrete staining has long been the preferred application of contractors as a creative and durable way to enhance the look of plain, grey concrete. When regular concrete needs a face-lift, decorative staining is one of the best applications available to add color and character to any concrete surface. Bob Harris' Guide to Stained Concrete Interior Floors provides A to Z instructions for installing these detail-specific systems providing readers with an invaluable shortcut to learning how to be successful in building beautiful concrete floors.

You will get practical tips, helpful hints and step-by-step instruction for staining concrete floors including specialty methods for applying stains, such as using concrete dyes, sandblasting or creating faux finishes, the tools needed and where to get them, how to maintain concrete floors, and creating intriguing effects with torn paper, cheesecloth, fertilizer, sawdust or kitty litter. In addition, the guide will show you concrete design options, how to estimate costs of different techniques, how to prepare samples, how to write a contract for floor staining, surface preparation, sealing floors and more.

Released in January 2004, the guide has quickly become a favorite among industry professionals as a training and reference source. As in his subsequent books, Bob Harris' Guide to Stamped Concrete and Bob Harris' Guide to Concrete Overlays & Toppings, Harris shares his expertise through tips and tricks, detailed instruction, and practical techniques for both beginning and seasoned contractors. He provides a solid foundation for producing quality work and helps contractors avoid common mistakes and problems. All three books in the Bob Harris Decorative Concrete Collection can be purchased online at www.bobharrisguides.com.

Bob Harris is a construction professional, teacher, and researcher. He is the founder and president of the Decorative Concrete Institute in Temple, Georgia where he conducts hands-on training seminars in architectural concrete on location and around the world.
