Acid Stain Floor
Applied to new or existing floors to provide a rich and natural beauty
Acid stain is provides a truly unique look to a new or existing concrete floor. An acid is applied to the concrete which reacts chemically with the lime within the concrete to produce a unique colour change.
Applied over new or existing sub base, Ideal Work® acid stains create variable, diverse or translucent effects that are very similar to the characteristics of natural stone.
An acid stained floor is the way to go if a one of a kind floor is required.
Benefits
Unique Design
Every piece of concrete has a certain amount of free lime, this ensures that the chemical reaction between the acid and the concrete is truly unique. As acid stain can be applied to new or existing concrete the range of finishes achievable are endless
Durable
Due to the chemical reaction the acid stain and its colour change become part of the concrete surface and therefore more durable than glazes and dyes.
Adaptable
Ideal work® acid stain is not only restricted to application on floors. Acid stain can be applied to our other product such as our polished concrete worktops, sink, tables and GFRC wall panels.
