Acid Stain

Because of concrete’s porous qualities and neutral tone, it is the perfect blank canvas for topically applied color. Using acid-based chemical stains, Artistic Concrete Finishes is able to achieve rich, earth-toned color schemes resembling natural stone, marble, wood, or even leather, giving a completely custom look to any concrete surface.

Acid stains work by penetrating the surface and reacting chemically with the hydrated lime in the concrete. The acid in the stain lightly etches the surface, allowing the metallic salts to penetrate more easily. Once the stain reacts, it becomes a permanent part of the concrete and won’t fade, chip off, or peel away. Like stains for wood, acid-based stains are translucent and the color they produce will vary depending on the color and condition of the concrete they are applied to. Each concrete slab will accept the stain in varying degrees of intensity, creating natural color variations that bring character and distinction to each project. The naturally occurring variegations and marbling, any blemishes and imperfections in your concrete simply adds charm. Acid stains can create an array of subtle earth tones, such as tans, browns, terra cottas, and soft blue-greens.

We also offer water-based stains that greatly expand our color palette with colors ranging from soft pastels to vivid reds, oranges, yellows, and purples.
