Give Your Concrete Patio A Face Lift with Stain
If you have a concrete patio, there are options to give it a face lift without too much expense.
Special concrete stains are available today to make the job much easier and more durable than in the past.There are two types of concrete stains: reactive and non-reactive.
Reactive stains are chemical stains that react with the lime in the concrete to release the color you want to add to your patio. These stains form a permanent bond with the concrete that will not chip or peel. This type forms a variegated, translucent color tone.
Non-reactive stains are water-based acrylic stains that do not rely on any type of chemical reaction to release color. These stains are designed to penetrate the surface of the concrete to deposit color pigment into the pores of the concrete. This type of stain produces a more opaque, uniform color in the concrete.
The non-reactive stains are very popular since the color choices are broad, and this type is easier to work with for the average homeowner.
