Acid staining has been used for over 120 years. It is a stunning technique that uses the chemistry of your existing concrete to react and create a one of a kind unique patina on the surface. The life of your surface will determine the results. Our products are a metallic salt compound that are formulated to react to the calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide within the concrete and pores of the floor. This old world look can transform worn and scuffed floors into attractive and artistic flooring solutions.
We protect our acid stain surfaces with clear top coats to make clean up easy and to keep the color vibrant. It is popular to acid stain restaurants, show rooms, patios, porches, drive ways, kitchens, basements, and other floors. For more details visit here concrete staining raleigh

Polished Concrete
Polished concrete is concrete that has been treated with a chemical densifier and ground – honed with progressively finer diamond impregnated grinding tools resulting in a matte, satin or high gloss sheen. Concrete can be colored with dyes, acid stain or other water based colorant systems. The concrete can also be left uncolored for greater durability and less maintenance. Examples of this can be seen at retailers such as Home Depot, Lowes, Costco and Sam’s club. Typically, concrete is not considered polished before 400 grit, and it is normally finished to either the 800, 1500, or 3000 grit level. Stains and dyes are often applied to enhance polished concrete as well as other options such as scoring, creating radial lines, grids, bands, borders, logos and other designs.
Polished concrete is considered a good sustainable design flooring option because it makes use of the materials already present. Most modern buildings are built on a concrete slab; polishing the exposed concrete eliminates the energy and material consumed by applying a floor covering. It is something to consider when building or modernizing towards a more green solution.
