Advantages of Our Colored Concrete Flooring

When it comes to staining concrete, there are some places that might recommend that you apply color to the concrete BEFORE you pour it into a slab. This might seem like a more convenient process at first, but it is something that Classic Concrete Staining will not do. Instead, we will apply the stain AFTER the concrete has set and been diamond polished.

This process offers several advantages. For example:

• Your colored concrete flooring will look more interesting
• Your flooring will be smoother
• Your flooring will be less likely to discolor

Your Colored Concrete Flooring will Look More Interesting

First of all, if the color is applied to the concrete before it is poured, there is a greater chance that you will end up with a concrete surface which has just the one solid and unremarkable color. In certain cases, the final color might look dull and even pinkish. The concrete will not have the usual color of a concrete slab or surface. However, it is a far cry from what could have been possible if the process had been done differently. This is because the process we use results in a concrete surface that does not just have color but dimension and beauty.

Our concrete staining process will result in a rich, varied, and interesting combination of patterns and gradations in color. This is much more than a boring slab of colored concrete flooring. What you will get is color, which shifts from one shade to another, from one shape to another, and accentuates and beautifies the patterns and changes that already naturally exist in the cement. This will be the opposite of boring. It will be luxurious, intricate, and altogether worthy of attention.

Your Colored Concrete Flooring will be Smoother

Another downside to putting color in the unpoured concrete is that the final result will tend to look roughly hewn. This is not the kind of texture that you will enjoy or appreciate in colored concrete, especially a floor. As the floor gets walked on, scuffed, and further worn down by the movement of heavy objects and appliances, this roughness will become even worse. Furthermore, if the surface is rough, it becomes more likely to attract stubborn dirt and grime and it becomes more difficult to clean regularly.

Your Colored Concrete Flooring will be Less Likely to Discolor

When color is added before the concrete is poured, there is also the possibility of efflorescence. This is the phenomenon where the concrete ends up looking discolored because salt substances that are white in color move to the surface of the concrete and deposit themselves there. This type of discoloration will further degrade the aesthetics of your colored concrete flooring.
