Boise Garage Concrete Staining

Chances are you have some concrete in or around your home. Whether it is a driveway, garage floor, patio, or even interior floors, concrete is a fairly common material. However, it isn’t always the prettiest. Luckily, there are now decorative options for your home, indoors and out.

For years, convention centers and hotels used elaborate and glitzy carpeting to decorate lobbies and meeting rooms. However, in the past few years, things have started to shift towards a more subtle look.

Instead of busy and bright carpet, decorators are turning to materials that are easy to maintain and inexpensive. Decorative concrete has become a favorite in buildings around the world. Furthermore, the decorative concrete used in commercial buildings can easily be applied to your home.

With simple treatments, you can change the color and look of existing or new concrete. Dyes, tints and stains can turn regular concrete into a luxurious building material, whether inside or out. Concrete treatments are a great way to liven up concrete patios or driveways. Furthermore, you can create an elaborate entryway for your home by staining interior concrete to give the illusion of a more luxurious flooring material.

Because of the new technology of concrete floor coverings, the maintenance is easy. Regular maintenance includes a soft broom or dust mop. For a deeper clean, simply wash the floor with a neutral cleanser and make sure to rinse it well (always check the cleaner by placing it on a small area of the floor to make sure it doesn’t cause discoloration).

There are an endless amount of options for concrete coating and flooring for your garage. The increae in technology over the past 10 years has allowed garage floors to blend with any style and décor. It can range from a simple grey concrete with a weather-proof sealer to a complex coating that can look like tile, granite or even marble.

The colors and textures come in a range of colors and are usually made of high solid industrial coatings with acrylic paint chips to allow for maximum color options. This type of paint-based system provides an excellent wear surface that can stand the coldest winters and the hottest summers. There are special materials made even for impact resistance such as quartz aggregates in an resin material.
