Things to Remember When Designing Decorative Concrete
Designing decorative concrete is no different from any other process that has endless options. The first step is to ask the questions that define the project and guide the design.
Effects with Reactive Stains on Concrete
There are unlimited opportunities to create fabulous effects with reactive acid stains. Acid stains are most mutable from the time they are sprayed onto the concrete until the reactive color change develops.
Using Stencils to Expand Artistry in Decorative Concrete
Because their artistry is computer-generated, stencils empower every contractor to create stunning works of art regardless of artistic talent. It is amazingly simple to produce logos, images, and artistic effects with exact detail and concrete industry has an arsenal of magnificent images ready to order.
Tip: Using Concrete Sealers to Create Color Effects
On a project where different colors are desired, a simple solution is to use a solvent sealer in the darker field and a water-based sealer or a stand-alone wax (for interior projects) in the lighter field.
