Acid stained concrete floors - The DIS Discussion Forums

ms.yt · 11-22-2009, 10:21 PM

We're thinking about doing this in the house we're renovating. How hard is it to do? What's the best method to apply the stain? My SIL did it with a garden sprayer, but hers ended up more spotty looking than mottled like the way I prefer. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

what is the floor? I mean what type room?

I think preperation is a big deal when hoping to get a uniform coloring. I would not even begin to hope for that on an aged floor. to many variables.

But I do love the stained concrete look. especially with the high gloss finish. we plan to do that ourselves for the floor on our kitchen remodel. maybe even the counters!!!!
