Decorative concrete lets you get the look of tile, stone, wood, or custom art without the cost or the seams. Acid staining and concrete dyes react with or bond to the slab to create permanent colour that will not peel or fade. Stamped overlays recreate the texture of slate, cobblestone, or wood plank on an existing concrete surface. And because the colour goes through the material rather than sitting on top, the finished floor looks and feels like high-end natural material — at a fraction of the cost.

Our Process
Design Consultation
We meet on-site, look at your lighting conditions, review colour samples, and discuss the look you're going for. We can bring a sample board of stain colours and finish options.
Surface Preparation
The slab is ground and cleaned. Any existing coatings or sealers are removed because they block the chemical reaction in acid staining and prevent overlay adhesion.
Colour Application
Acid stains are applied with sprayers and worked with brushes for the desired pattern intensity. Dyes go on with microfibre applicators. Metallic epoxy is poured and moved with a squeegee and heat gun.
Scoring and Patterning
Where score lines are part of the design, we use an angle grinder with a diamond blade on chalk-line guides to cut clean, consistent lines.
Sealer and Topcoat
The final topcoat locks in the colour and sets the sheen. For floors with heavy foot traffic we recommend a polyurethane topcoat for scratch resistance. Patios get a UV-stable acrylic or polyaspartic.
