STAINED CONCRETE IN HOUSTON
Did you decide to breathe new life into your home or business interior? Stained concrete floors – the ultimate fusion of style, durability, and ease of maintenance. Homes, corporate offices, and commercial spaces differ in many ways, such as design. However, trendy, modern touches allow it to fascinate any interiors. Unicrete Flooring is glad to service residents of Houston, TX with decorative stained concrete floors. Our floors combine practicality, durability, and unique appearance. This impressive combo alone can radically change the look of any space. The end result is simple to keep clean and maintain, opening multiple possibilities for owners of both residential and commercial properties.
OVERVIEW
The decorative potential of concrete slabs is limitless. You can apply the whole palette of our company's colors to suit the style of house, patio, outdoors, etc. It takes time for acidic components to aggregate within the cement, so the floor gains a deep color tone. Thus, the structure becomes marble-like and pleasing to the eyes. Whether the stain is acid-based or water-based, you can enjoy the evenly spread color on the hard canvas.
Speaking of specific solutions, they work well no matter the location, whether indoors or outdoors. Waxing or re-polishing is unnecessary—periodically wipe the top from dust and debris. Nothing beats polished concrete in terms of longevity: it "survives" decades without risks of showing signs of wear. Thanks to a wide selection of offered products, stained concrete is an excellent choice for rejuvenating an ordinary home, entertainment venue, or office.
ARTISTIC APPROACH
Stained concrete flooring is not about covering a surface but about imbuing it with character and intensity. The pigments penetrate the concrete during stain application, creating an organic and mesmerizing stained effect. That effect combines an attractive look and merges practicality and resilience. In addition, we can add several pigments simultaneously to make intense color motion. Moreover, various methods of application allow contractors to create one-of-a-kind patterns. Also, there is no need to worry about hazardous elements. All materials are safe for the environment. As a result, each application yields unique textures and decorative hues. Versatility is advantageous for residential projects, luxurious mansions, restaurants, commercial spaces, etc.
UNIQUE DESIGNS
Stained concrete flooring is not merely about covering a surface but about imbuing it with character and intensity. The pigments in the stain penetrate the concrete through a chemical reaction, creating an organic and attractive stained effect. Over time, once the concrete cures, it gets its intensity and character. In addition, multiple colors can be applied to the surface simultaneously to create intense color motion. Moreover, various techniques and application methods allow contractors to create one-of-a-kind patterns. Limitless options provide unique combinations. As a result, each application yields unique decorative patterns and hues, ensuring that no two floors are ever the same.
PRACTICALITY
Moreover, stained concrete floors require minimal maintenance, eliminating the need for regular waxing or polishing. Regular maintenance typically involves simple cleaning with a neutral-PH cleaner and occasional resealing to enhance the color saturation. This hassle-free solution is ideal for busy homeowners and business owners alike.
BUILT TO LAST
Do you want to avoid flooring that chips, stains, or wears out too quickly? The ultimate solution is stained concrete. Its durable surface can handle whatever life throws, from high heels and pet claws to chemical spills and heavy-wheeled traffic. Advanced sealers like polyurethane or acrylic prevent the treated floor from yellowing and intense wear and tear.
VERSATILITY TO SUIT ANY SPACE
The stained concrete floor fits right in from modern lofts to cozy cottages and bustling commercial projects. Its seamless blend of style and functionality makes it perfect for any environment. Moreover, you can tailor your stained concrete to fit any décor perfectly with our customization choices. We offer 24 stock colors, covering the whole range of color choices seen on market today. Custom colors are available upon request.
A WIDE VARIETY OF SEALERS
Above all, we must remember that some dyes and sealers are not UV-stable. So, most of the time, adding color to a concrete floor is an indoor option. However, Unicrete has products that are UV-stable and designed for outdoor use. As an option, we can use acrylic or polyurethane sealers for outdoors. At the same time, epoxy sealers are more suitable for indoors. Each type of sealer has its advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the right combination of stains and sealers is challenging for a contractor.
In addition, customers can choose between a glossy, satin, or matte sealer. Typically, glossy sealers bring a nice, shiny look, while satin or matte sealers reduce maintenance routine.
Unicrete is glad to offer our customers the following:
- Acid-stained concrete floor
- Stained and sealed concrete floor
- Ground & stained concrete with acrylic sealers
- Ground & stained concrete with polyurethane sealers
- Stained polished concrete floor
THE PROCESS OF STAINED CONCRETE FLOORS
It takes several steps to get stained concrete floors on your project. First, we need to clean the concrete surface thoroughly. Getting rid of dirt, oil, grease, or other contaminants is essential. A clean and dust-free floor ensures proper stain penetration. In addition, oil spills, acids, and even tile can leave ghost lines that are not visible on a non-stained surface. So, only qualified flooring contractors can evaluate the risks of adding color to the concrete floor.
In some cases, particularly with old concrete slabs, concrete grinding is necessary to open up the pores and improve the penetration of the stain. However, we can skip this step if we deal with new concrete. When it comes to the stain application, we can use several application techniques. Depending on the desired effect, we can use sprayers, rollers, or various mixing methods when we need to wait until the stain gets dry and absorbed by the concrete. As a result of the reaction between the minerals and pigments, we get unique colors and patterns embedded into a concrete slab.
Finally, the sealer applied over the stained concrete floor is a crucial step that enhances chemical resistance. It’s important to use high-quality sealers, as they can provide excellent protection against oil, grease, and chemicals, ensuring the longevity and durability of your stained concrete floor.
