Types of Concrete Stains There are two main basic types of staining you can utilize for concrete floorings; water-based acrylic stains and acid-based stains. There is nothing more dull or boring looking than a concrete wall or surface in a home with the original gray look, why not spice it up and create a completely unique look with concrete staining, something we specialize in at Concrete Contractors Fort Smith. Some people will use paint on a concrete surface but it doesn't work out that well in the end because the concrete it porous so the paint can't adhere properly. Staining, however, will penetrate the concrete and make the new color and textures a permanent part or your surface by physically altering the chemical structure. The main components of an acid based stain are water, hydrochloric acid, and metallic salts, which produce more earthy and dark tones in your concrete. Water-based acrylics are used when you want a wider range of colors, although this method only penetrates the top layer of the concrete.
