Austin's Concrete Staining Company
Staining concrete floors uses either chemical reactants or pigments and dyes to transform concrete’s color and aesthetic. A few of our most popular processes that achieve this look including acid staining (reactive staining) and dyeing.

Is my concrete slab suitable for concrete staining?
We will have to take a look to be sure, but most slabs are great for concrete staining. The type of flooring you currently have in your home may affect the slab. For instance, tile leaves impressions on the concrete due to the glue used to apply the tile. Call us today and we will match a fit for your home.
Acid Stained Concrete Floors
Acid-stained concrete is different from dying or coloring concrete. Instead of ‘adding’ color to the top of a concrete surface, acid staining leverages a chemical reaction to bring brilliant colors out of your concrete slab. This permanent chemical bond runs 1/16” to 1/32” into your concrete slab, so the new natural color goes beyond just the surface. If your floor chips or cracks a bit over time, the underlying concrete matches the color and adds texture. Acid-staining concrete creates earthy tones that add a beautiful, natural metallic look.
Concrete Dyes and Coatings
Mechanical (or non-reactive) staining includes dyes, sealants, and tented coating. These topical solutions are added to the top layer of polished concrete slab and deliver vivid color and great results. These liquid strainers are poured, sprayed, or brushed onto slabs. When comparing Acid Staining to other mediums, it’s important to consider non-chemical staining does not withstand wear and tear as well as acid staining. If chipped or cracked, the natural color of the concrete slab could show through.
To achieve the best results for stained and polished cement floors, a professional company is required. The prep process requires expensive, specific equipment and the entire process is labor intensive. Determining the correct applicants to harden the concrete, fill gaps and imperfections and finally seal the flooring should not be taken lightly. The good news is you’ve found Austin’s professional stained concrete specialists. Call today to bring new life into your cement floor with staining and polishing.
