Staining concrete is one of the easiest ways to lend color and depth to ordinary concrete floors. What makes it more interesting is the fact that reactive concrete staining produces unpredictable results in terms of the concrete surface by-product.

From the name itself, this acid coating binds with the minerals that are present in the concrete and reacts with it.The chemical reaction is what gives the concrete its depth of color and various marbled designs.


And since it is dependent on many uncontrollable factors such as the concrete’s mineral content, every acid staining job will produce a different result.


CHEM-STONE™ is one of such products. It is an acid stain that is available in 8 great shades: antique black, antique brown, antique blue, antique gold, antique red, antique green, antique umber, and antique tan.


If the homeowner can’t decide yet on which shade to get, an 8-pack acid staining sampler is also available.Buying this pack allows the homeowner to try the different shades on a small part of the house to see which color fits the house best.(03) 9689 4480

Acid stains are permanent stains that are applied to concrete surfaces. What people love about it, aside from the wonderful shades and pattern it produces, is that it deters aging and protects the concrete.


It does not peel, chip, nor flake thereby minimizing maintenance costs. Professional acid stain contractors have witnessed floorings that last up to 15 years without chipping or peeling.


Reapplication of top coats is basically all that needs to be done after exceeding the life span of the product.

Below are just some of Elite Crete’s top acid stain products:


ULTRA-STONE™ Antiquing Concrete StainThis product is an acid stain that is distinctly manufactured for use on modified concrete overlay. It binds better and gives an antique-like finish to the overlay that no other product in the market could provide.


Moreover, instead of an opaque color mixing with the concrete overlay, ULTRA-STONE™ is more of a translucent, colored film that doesn’t fade. This product is bought as a concentrate, often times diluted with water, and is tinted using PORTION CONTROL COLORANT™.(03) 9689 4480

The latter determines how bold the acid stain color would appear when applied to the concrete.


PORTION CONTROL COLORANT™This colorant is actually a synthetic pigment, concentrated in nature, and is used along with ULTRA-STONE™. It comes in a variety of colors (10 primary colors) from which 30 different concrete colors can be created.


Because of its extremely concentrated nature, professionals advice careful handling of the PORTION CONTROL COLORANT™ and to be meticulous is measuring the amount of colorant being mixed with each batch of ULTRA-STONE™ to achieve uniform colors all throughout the staining process.
