How To Stain New Concrete

Aug 17

Staining can be a quick and economical way to boost the aesthetic appeal of concrete surfaces. This flooring is made by pouring a water-based solution onto a concrete surface that has been washed.

 

Concrete Staining

Sealers are used to preserve stains from fading and wear. Concrete is very absorbent, which allows it to stain in any color you could imagine. Many different chemicals and processes are available for concrete staining Albuquerque in various shades and colors.

 

What are the different kinds of concrete stains?

 

You can separate concrete stains into 2 categories.

 

Staining concrete by using a reaction chemical is the most obvious option.

Reactive concrete stains are typically created from metallic inorganic salts or hydrochloric acid. They react with concrete minerals. The chemical reaction takes place and the stain forms a permanent bond with the concrete creating a smudge on the concrete surface, making it look like marble.

 

Compared to water-based or non-reactive staining options, reactive stains or acid stains are less appealing color options and require more safety precautions and experience.

 

Concrete Staining Not Reactive

Non-reactive stains, water-based acrylic polymers, as well as pigments, can be created without the requirement of a chemical reaction. It is designed to penetrate more deeply into concrete and deposit colored particles into the pores of the concrete surface.

 

A layer of sealant is put on the surface to stop the stain from becoming faded or peeling off. It also prevents flaking.

 

Using polymer-bonded technology in water-based stains can, for instance, lower the risk of the stain peeling, fading, or flaking. All the while being environmentally benign.

 

As a result, water-based stains are more often used due to the extensive selection of shades and shades they provide, from the most transparent and pale shades to the brightest and striking solids.

 

Mixing colors that aren't reactive to create new colors doesn't have negative effects because they don’t react with concrete. Non-reactive colors, on the contrary, don't contain acids or solvents, so they are easier to apply.

 

Concrete staining Albuquerque is not reactive, but it is both. It's a great way to bring back old surfaces like countertops and concrete slabs and patios.

 

The Staining Process for Concrete

 

Concrete staining Albuquerque is a simple but lengthy process that could last up to two days to finish. The following steps are needed to strain concrete:

 

Concrete Surface Preparation

  • It doesn't matter how old the concrete is; meticulous surface preparation is essential.

  • Concrete cleaning and grinding solutions completely cleanse concrete surfaces, removing debris, residues, and dirt.

  • Before staining, any existing stain or coating that is on the concrete surface needs to be removed.

  • Concrete crack sealants are used if any are discovered.

  • To get rid of any scratches, the floor cleaner may be used.

 

Methods of Staining

 

  • Tape can be sprayed over any exposed surface to prevent stains from settling.

  • To get the desired color, the stain is gently diluted with water.

  • You can apply the coating with an airless sprayer or with a brush.

  • By humidity, temperature, and airflow conditions, the freshly applied stain may require between 10 and 10 hours to dry completely.

  • For a darker shade, do the same as before.

 

Cleaning the Spillage

  • Cleanse the concrete thoroughly with clean water to eliminate any remaining residue.

  • T.S.P. or baking soda can neutralize acid-based stains.

  • With a brush, the final rinse eliminates any residue.

  • Applying a sealant

  • Stain-resistant concrete is maintained through the use of concrete sealers.

  • After applying sealants, the concrete should be left to cure for one day.

  • It is recommended to apply two coats of sealer for the longest longevity.
