Concrete stain comes in two flavors—acid-based and water-based, and they couldn’t be more different. Acid stains don’t just sit on the surface—they chemically react with the concrete, creating deep, rich tones with a marbled, one-of-a-kind look.
Think natural stone vibes or that antique, rustic finish that never goes out of style. But here’s the catch: color options are limited, and the process is a bit unpredictable (in a good way, if you like surprises).
Now, if you’re after vibrant colors, even coverage, and a bit more control, water-based stains are your go-to. They come in way more shades, don’t mess with the concrete chemistry, and are lower in toxicity—great for indoor spaces. So, do you want an organic, unpredictable masterpiece or a bold, custom color palette? Either way, stained concrete is here to impress.
