Concrete Colour Stain
Our concrete colour staining system, known as Pre-Stain, is a solution to changing or refreshing the appearance of concrete without concealing its natural texture underneath.
Refresh your concrete colour while highlighting its natural beauty.
If you have discoloured or outdated concrete surfaces, Pre-Stain is an innovative alternative to completely resurfacing it.
What makes Pre-Stain different to a regular paint is that the colour is translucent. It’s formulated to deeply penetrate cementitious surfaces, etching into the concrete and allowing the substrate’s natural texture to stay visible through the stain. Pre-Stain has the added benefit of being able to stabilise concrete that’s in poor condition.
Thanks to advanced engineering, our Pre-Stain formula can be applied to both new and existing concrete slabs both internally and externally. Concrete Colour Stain withstands all types of climates, conditions and traffic — producing permanent colour that’s UV stable and doesn’t fade for long-lasting results. Clients have used it to change the shade of concrete facades, concrete walls and floors.
Using a spray gun, our Concrete Colour Stain is applied onto a vertical or horizontal concrete surface. It’s then finished with an industrial-grade gloss or matte sealer. Colour Stain boasts fast-drying properties for quick application, and floors are ready to be walked on within a few hours.
Concrete Stain Colours
Pre-Stain can be applied as a single colour, or more than one colour can be layered to customise a unique shade. Concrete stains are known for producing subtle, earth-toned shades that particularly appeal to clients who want a colour that blends with natural surroundings.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No, it’s only suitable over concrete substrates.
-
Our concrete colour stain is a translucent water-based product which etches into a concrete surface, meaning the textural characteristics of the concrete will still be visible through the stain. In comparison, paint provides a solid colour finish that covers and conceals the surface texture.
-
The cost of getting Alternative Surfaces to stain your concrete is dependant on a range of factors. The complexity of the stain application, surface preparation requirements, and the size of the project are a few factors that will be considered by our professionals before quoting.
-
Concrete stain is permanent and won't fade or flake off like paint. That's not to say it doesn't require light maintenance, especially flooring that receives a lot of traffic.
The measures you can take to prolong the stain life include dry dust mopping and occasional wet mopping. Our team will provide specialised maintenance guidelines after installation.
