Brickform’s Blush-Tone Acid Stains create unique colors by means of the chemical reaction between the stain and the concrete itself. This reaction often creates a patina effect further enhancing the uniqueness of each project. Multiple colors may be applied sequentially for a beautiful one-of-a-kind outcome.
Brickform’s Artesian Water-Based stains are available in a wide variety of colors and are easy to work with. Because of the ease of application, water-based stains are ideal for accenting stamped concrete for a secondary color presence such as individual stones within a texture stamp pattern. These stains can be hand-dabbed with a rag or brushed into place and any drips are easily cleaned up with a damp rag.
For optimum results from any stain project the concrete must be clean. Any pre-existing concrete sealer must be completely removed before stain can be applied. Interior trowel-finished floors should be “opened up” with a 100-150 grit sanding screen used with a floor polisher. This will permit the stain to better penetrate the concrete for a strong dramatic effect.
Please see our Blush-Tone Acid Stain and Artesian Water-Based Stain color charts below.
Brickform’s Pro-Dyes are used to add color to interior floors. Dyes are mixed with acetone and applied with special acetone resistant sprayers. The dye is absorbed into the concrete without any chemical reaction.
Brickform’s Pro-Dye dries quickly and will not peel or chip. Any of the 26 colors can be combined or overlaid for truly unique results. Pro-Dyes are not UV stable and should not be applied to surfaces which receive direct sunlight. Please see our Pro-Dye color chart below.
