Stained Concrete Floors

[Alegria DeLaCruz]

Hi folks. I'm looking for some suggestions about how to lay a concrete floor on an existing floor (with all tile and underlying stuff ripped out), stain it, and acidwash it. specifically -

how thick do i need to lay the concrete? what kind of concrete do i need to use? can someone explain the acidwash process? what kind of sealer can i put over it? (i'd like it to be super shiny)

thanks for any suggestions or resources.

Here is a site that specializes in decorative concrete. Doug Banister has written many articles for Concrete Construction magazine and others.

It sounds as if you might be interested in a 1/4 overlay, perhaps pattern stamped. ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . . DanG (remove the sevens) [e-mail]
