Concrete staining and densification are ideal solutions for clients who want a durable, attractive floor without the thickness or complexity of heavy coatings.
These systems enhance the concrete itself rather than covering it.
What Concrete Staining Does
Concrete staining adds permanent color by penetrating the surface of the slab. Unlike paint or coatings, stains become part of the concrete and won’t peel or flake.
Stained concrete floors are commonly used in:
• retail spaces
• offices and showrooms
• restaurants and hospitality venues
• residential basements and garages
Stains can be subtle or bold, depending on the design goals.
The Role of Concrete Densifiers
Concrete densification strengthens the slab by increasing surface hardness and reducing dusting. Densifiers react with the concrete to create a harder, more abrasion-resistant surface.
Benefits of densified concrete include:
• improved wear resistance
• reduced dusting
• easier cleaning and maintenance
• enhanced longevity
Densification is often paired with staining or sealing to create a complete floor system.
Why Stained and Densified Concrete Works
These systems are popular because they combine durability with simplicity. There’s no thick coating layer to fail, making them ideal for spaces that see consistent use.
