One of the most fashionable interior design trends today is stained concrete. Both beautiful and functional, stained concrete has magnificently rich long-lasting coloring that won’t fade or flake. Stain can even be applied to existing concrete, making it an ideal solution for revitalizing lackluster surfaces.
As opposed to paint or topical coatings that produce a solid, opaque effect, concrete stains soak into the pores of the concrete and alter the color from the inside-out. Stained concrete is infused with rich, deep tones.
Concrete can be stained to mimic many natural textiles, including marble, leather, stone or wood.
Every concrete surface has its own distinctive look, depending on its composition, age, surface porosity, texture and environment. These factors cause stained concrete to have an unmatched, one-of-a-kind look that is often described as “antiquated,” “variegated,” or “mottled.” This variable look gives stained concrete broad appeal in any number of settings and designs.
