Yucaipa, CA (PRWEB) January 23, 2009 -- No concrete floor would be complete without the application of a decorative concrete stain. With so many types of stains and product manufacturers to choose from, the process of choosing the right stain product can be difficult. ConcreteNetwork.com offers an updated concrete stain buyer's guide with tips on purchasing the right type of stain, along with overviews of stain types, their uses, application tools and much more.
Kitchen floor features a mixture of concrete stain colors.
After resurfacing an existing concrete floor or installing a new concrete hardscape, there's no need to stop with a boring, gray surface. Contractors can now offer their clients a world of color through concrete stains. Newer products on the market, such as water- and solvent-based dyes, are greatly expanding the palette with colors ranging from soft pastels to vivid reds, oranges, yellows, and purples. In some cases, these newer stain products are easier and safer to apply.
The guide offers contractors detailed descriptions of the two widely available stain types on the market. They include: acid-based stains and water-based penetrating stains. The guide also covers two other helpful products, water- and solvent-based dyes, and gels and thickeners, which are commonly used in conjunction with stains, in order to achieve a desired effect.
Both stain types work at penetrating the concrete surface that they are applied on to produce permanent color, ranging from translucent to opaque depending on the product.
