Our staining and engraving process uses existing concrete. |
|
Unlike an overlay, engraving is permanent and
low-maintenance. |
|
A variety of designs are available including rounded and
straight brick and cobblestone patterns, tile, flagstone and custom designs and logos. |
|
Concrete engraving will not increase surface thickness,
leaving doors unaffected and surfaces even. |
|
Weeds cannot grow within the design, and sections will not
come loose, as with tile, brick and cobblestone. |
|
Colors and patterns are only limited by ones imagination.
Choose from a variety of designs or create your own. |
|
Floors can be stained with or without patterns. Engraving is
done at your request in almost any decorative pattern you wish for. |
|
Borders can be added to create a touch of elegance or to add
boundaries to rooms. Concrete engraving techniques can take your flooring options a step
outside of the norm - enabling you to create a wonderful and unique living space. |
|
Staining and engraving a design into the hard concrete
creates a long-lasting, easy-to-maintain alternative to popular flooring that can be
simple and elegant or beautiful, extraordinary works of art. Unlike carpet, it will not
collect allergens and will never need to be replaced. |
|
Acid/chemical stain is not paint or surface coating; rather
it's a coloring process involving chemical reaction on a cementious material. A solution
made with water, acid and inorganic salts react with minerals already present in the
concrete. The result of this reaction is color. The process occurs In, not On top of the
concrete. The acid/chemical stain produces uneven, translucent color effects like the
shadings of natural stone and marble. The final color is dependent on the chemical
composition and age of the concrete. No two jobs are ever alike, as each job is unique
with its own properties and characteristics. Never expect acid stain to be uniform or have
an even tone. You will get different reactions from slab to slab, and even on the same job
you may see different coloration patterns. |
