Colored or acid stained concrete floors will not weather or fade over time. The floors keep their appearance and will not need to be re-stained or re-colored to keep the color from fading if properly maintained.
Acid stained concrete floors are the most popular interior applications for decorative concrete. Because of stamped concrete, epoxy flooring, polished concrete floors, concrete overlays, dye stain, etc., you can request floors that have a tiled or cut stone look or that give the appearance of limestone, slate, flagstone, marble, granite or even wood.
A concrete floor can be stamped with a rubber imprinting tool that contains specific designs to create patterns in the floor, or a contractor can embed items in the floor to add texture.
