Installation Method

Acid staining, as in any other decorative concrete installation, starts with a proper preparation of the existing surface. The concrete surface is washed clean of any grease, paint, wax, dirt, or other contaminants. After the surface is completely dry, acid stains are applied using a sprayer. Normally at least 2 coats of acid stain is applied. After the floor is completely dry, it is washed thoroughly to remove any residue. The floor is finally sealed using Renew-Crete® Sealer to form a protective and glossy surface for best effect.
