The Stained Concrete Process
Understanding the process of stained concrete can help you understand and decide on the options that are best for your project.
Stained Concrete Colors
Our concrete staining process incorporates a dual-tone effect, combining both a primary base color with a secondary accent hue to achieve depth and dimension in every project. For crafting the foundational color of new concrete, we employ two distinct approaches: the integration of color directly into the mixture, and the application of a color hardener.
Regarding the first method, we introduce our premium Uni-Mix Integral Concrete Color system early in the process, either at the concrete production facility or onsite before the pouring commences. This popular technique ensures that the foundational color is uniformly distributed throughout the concrete, offering a consistent and lasting hue that becomes the focal point of your stamped concrete designs.
The Uni-Mix System is highly regarded among industry professionals, from contractors to architects, for its superior quality and unique composition, giving it a distinct edge over attempts by others to replicate our exclusive shades. To guarantee authenticity and satisfaction, we advise obtaining the specific lot numbers of the color mix for verification before pouring begins.
Alternatively, for those interested in exploring more color options or seeking a surface with enhanced durability and color intensity, the Butterfield Color Perma-Cast Shake-On Color Hardener presents an excellent choice. This method involves broadcasting the hardener onto the concrete at the initial finishing stages, where it is then expertly worked into the surface to establish the base color. It’s important to note that not all contractors offer the option of using color hardeners, so we recommend discussing your color preferences and project requirements with us in advance to achieve the perfect outcome.
Washing & Cutting
Your contractor will proceed with washing and making cuts into the concrete slab once it has set, typically between 12 to 24 hours after pouring. While the thought of cuts might seem to detract from the aesthetic appeal, they are essential for the integrity of the concrete.
We usually plan the placement of these saw cuts in consultation with you prior to the concrete pouring, to ensure you’re well-informed about the process.
It’s important to note that the true vibrancy and final shades will only manifest after the sealing and complete curing of the concrete.
Sealing
Be aware that surfaces that have been sealed can become slippery during application, prior to drying, and when they are exposed to water or other liquids.
It is important to recognize that surfaces treated with sealant can present a slip hazard during application, before they have dried, and when encountering moisture. To mitigate this risk, especially in outdoor settings, we incorporate a non-slip additive into the sealing process. For those desiring a less glossy appearance, we also offer a flattening paste that achieves a matte finish.
Stained Concrete Maintenance
Caring for your stamped concrete is essential to ensuring its longevity and aesthetic appeal. Below are vital tips for maintaining your concrete’s condition:
- To preserve the surface’s shine, consider gentle washes with mild detergents. Steer clear of using harsh chemicals like solvents or acids for routine cleaning.
- Keep the surface free from abrasive materials by sweeping or vacuuming regularly. Avoid dragging or placing sharp objects directly on the sealed concrete.
- Promptly clean up any spills from chemicals, solvents, or petroleum-based products to prolong the life and performance of the coating.
- Regularly check the cured and sealed areas for any signs of wear or damage. Over time, all concrete surfaces will show some effects due to weather exposure and traffic.
- Be mindful of the sealer’s vulnerability to hot car tires and the potential damage from turning tires while stationary.
- Areas with frequent vehicle traffic, exposure to de-icing salts, or harsh chemicals might show accelerated wear signs.
- Typically, sealed stamped concrete doesn’t require annual resealing. Excessive layers of sealer can lead to peeling and other issues. When necessary, a Polyurethane sealant application can offer several years of protection before reapplication is needed.
