What floor is right for me?

Stains & Dyes

 Easy, cost-effective way to give a finished look to driveways and patios. Cured concrete can be colored using a water-based stain, acetone-based stain, or acid stain. Each method has its own unique colors, character, and application methods. All stains require a top coat for protection. Single component sealers will give you 3-5 years and 2 component sealers 6-8 years depending on traffic.

Water-based stains hold tantalizing promise for the field of architectural concrete — low VOCs, low odor, simple application and cleanup, and bright hues not possible with reactive acid-based stains.

Acetone stains are applied significantly faster than acid, and require less time to dry and stabilize. The dyes are actually clear solutions – the particles penetrate the concrete. The qualities of the dyes available today allow not only a quick application but much creativity in the color outcome.

Acid concrete stains are composed of a unique concentrated formulation of blended metallic salts in an acidic water-based solution. These metallic salts penetrate and react with the minerals in the concrete to deposit the colors into the concrete pores.

Epoxy Applications

       Our epoxy is made in the USA and Complies with USDA, FDA, and FSMA. Epoxies are very versatile and customizable, with three main styles. In garages, it is most commonly used as a receiving coat for vinyl chips. For patios, you can use Quartz, great for its slip-resistant qualities. Epoxies can also be used to create a unique and elegant metallic finish in any home.

What is Epoxy flake coating? The epoxy flake coating is a multi-layered coating using epoxy and flake as your base coat. For your top coat you have different options depending on your budget and desired finish. 

 

Epoxy quartz flooring is a thick durable coating best outside for its slip resistant qualities. All 11 of the color options are found on the website under color charts. 

Metallic epoxy is a form of solid epoxy that has metallic, glitter-like particles embedded in it. When properly mixed and applied, the result is an extremely distinctive and eye-catching effect with what appear to be three-dimensional shimmering swirls throughout the flooring.

Concrete and Cementitous Overlays

A concrete overlay is a thin layer of concrete that is either applied for repairing the concrete or for decoration. It can be applied in many ways, whether that be troweling, spraying, or rolling depending on what product you’re using for your desired outcome.

 

A concrete overlay does for floors what a fresh coat of paint does for siding: it looks good and it preserves surface integrity.

Concrete overlay material is a blend of polymer resins. These are a mix of cement, sand, and other additives to create a more durable and attractive overlay. This blend also adheres well to the existing concrete without ruining its natural look.

 

Stampable overlays are a great way to add a layer of textured concrete to your already existing slab. There are many different kinds of stamps to choose from. If you wanted a wood grain tile outside that has the durability of concrete this is what you want.

Para Roll is a rollable concrete overlay. It is intended to be applied over concrete with hydration lines caused by glue or tile to create a new canvas for you to stain.

Para stone is a pre-packaged kit of cementitious concrete that is meant to be sprayed. Each kit has enough material to do 600 sqft consisting of 2 base coats, 2 spray coats, and 2 splatter coats. Because you are spraying the material you will be left with a slip-resistant floor with lots of color variants.

Integral Color and Hardeners

Concrete integral color simply means coloring the concrete with a cement pigment the same way you would add food coloring to batter. The principal benefit of using integral color in concrete is the fade-resistant color throughout the concrete, so even if damaged or worn at the surface, the color remains unchanged.

Integral Color Concrete is a coloring admixture also known as Concrete Pigment. Integral color pigments can be synthetic or natural iron oxide powder colorant that acts like a dye for wet cement.

Simply add any color pigments to a concrete mix and pour your way to stunning colored concrete floors or countertops. The pigment integrally colors the concrete completely, from the inside out, offering consistent, even tones across the slab.

The release is a color hardener we add to the top of your concrete slab to give you stamped concrete a two-toned appearance. We recommend choosing a darker color than the concrete color or your slab so it stands out more. If lighter or similar in color, you risk the chance of the release color not showing up.

 

Hardeners are broadcasted into freshly poured concrete and trowled into the top layer. this creates a vivid colored top layer of concrete. This is most commonly used to get colors that you might not be able to get with integral color.
