Staining

Concrete staining involved injecting colored dye into the material to create different colors and looks. You can use a solid color, or mix colors to get a marble effect. This process is permanent, and gives your project a whole new range of design options. You can create a blue basement floor, or use a marbling effect to give your garage a whole new look.

Stamping

Concrete stamping is the process of using special tools and molds to create effects in the concrete to make it look another material. You can make your concrete look like stone, tile, marble or other stone pieces. You can also use molds to create fire pits resembling individual stones, and patio walls with the look of individual bricks.

Polishing

Concrete polishing adds a protective layer over your concrete, giving it even more durability and a glossy finish. You can make your concrete floor look like expensive marble, and no one will be able to notice the difference.
