Stained Concrete
Eco-Stain is environmentally friendly creating the look of reactive acid stain with no clean up or neutralization.
Eco-Stain is not paint or coating agent, rather, it's a coloring process
involving a chemical reaction on a cementitious material. A solution made
with water, acid and inorganic salts reacts with minerals already present in
the concrete, and the result of this reaction is color. It works very well
on new or old concrete, and we've seen impressive results over decorative
polymer overlays as well as self-leveling products. Eco-Stain is a very
durable product if properly protected with sealer/wax, and it can be applied
to both interiors and exteriors.
What makes Eco-Stain so attractive? Eco-Stain gives concrete a mottled,
variegated, marble-like look. It creates beautiful colors on concrete,
mostly earth tone browns, reddish browns and greens. You can also create
your own shades by mixing and matching your available colors, or applying
them at different rates. Never expect Eco-Stain to be uniform or have an
even tone, you'll get different reactions from slab to slab, and even on the
same job you may see different coloration patterns.
Eco-Stain can be applied to walks, entrances, driveways, living rooms,
bathrooms, patios, high traffic, concrete products areas and even vertically
to any cementitious surface.
On some applications where the surface is textured, as in stamped concrete
or stamped overlays, Eco-Stain provides even more depth of color, larger
selection and realistic look to the surface.
You can go from a simple design to a very sophisticated project. The more
complicated your design, the more labor intensive it will become, but the
end results are simply stunning. After the Eco-Stain is applied, the floor
should be sealed / waxed to protect the stain and add shine and depth.
KAR works with existing concrete slabs and/or KAR will do the install with
qualified concrete installers to create a beautiful long lasting, finished
floor.
