Unexpected Effects with Acid Staining Are Part of Its Appeal

This coffee shop located in Parkland, FL was designed to create a rich and warm environment. The owner of the shop chose an acid staining application, because he wanted a surface that was low-maintenance, durable and beautiful at the same time. Acid staining is perfect for high traffic areas and provides a luxurious look in a practical and affordable flooring solution. It does not cover up existing surfaces as a conventional stain or paint.

Due to its deep penetrating formula, the effects produced by acid staining vary and are unique to every concrete surface. This is a hand-made craft product, subject to aesthetic interpretation. Each time chemical stain is applied to a concrete surface, it yields irregularity and variation in color and tone from one application to another. On rare occasions, there is an unexpectedly different result of the chemical reaction. The finished product is rarely an exact match to a color chart or even samples shown in showroom or on site. While a sample-applied onsite to the exact same piece of concrete to be stained is the closest and most accurate way to determine the finished product's color and tone, it still gives no guarantee of an exact match to the finished product. These are inherent qualities of acid staining, which is not an exact science. These factors add to the appeal of this process, giving it a natural look, and are what makes this beautiful product unique.
