stained concrete
Tinted cement surface
Stained concrete is concrete that has been colored using chemical stains or dyes rather than paint.
Acid stains react with minerals in the concrete to create variegated, translucent tones; water-based stains offer more uniform, opaque color.
The technique transforms utilitarian gray floors into decorative surfaces: The restaurant's stained concrete floors had a warm amber patina.
