ACID-STAIN FLOOR

ACID-STAIN FLOOR

Unique and unrepeatable

An acid stained floor is, in fact, a truly custom-made floor that is designed and built according to the designer’s and customer’s requirements.

Acid stained floors are created using carefully selected acids, derived from metallic salt compounds, which penetrate into the concrete and react with the free lime, chemically changing the colour to produce unique and permanent variegated effects.

Ideal Stains create variable, contrasting or translucent effects that are very similar to the nuances of natural stone or the aged appearance of a weather worn coating. The result is unique for each surface and cannot be duplicated with other dyeing materials. Concrete loses its banal appearance and takes on a rich and natural beauty.

Acid Stain Advantages

IT IS UNIQUE AND MODERN

Acid stained concrete has caught the attention of design studios, architects, landscape architects, designers and decorators for incorporation into the design of private houses, lofts, public spaces, shops, showrooms, restaurants, nightclubs, pubs, pavilions, exhibition halls, hotels and shopping centres.

Thanks to the adaptability of Ideal Work® products and technologies, each individual project is evaluated and designed according to the type of end use envisaged and the type and extent of traffic it has to support.

Depending on these criteria and the customer’s specific requirements, flooring thicknesses, type of texture (rough or smooth), the type of surface finish and other technical variables of flooring are decided.

PRACTICAL AND EASY TO MAINTAIN

Commercial installations shine with easy-to-maintain colourful floors. In terms of durability and abrasive resistance, the colour of acid stained concrete is of a better quality than concrete surfaces treated with acrylic dyes or other types of resins that can peel, fade or disintegrate quickly.

Thanks to their chemical reaction with concrete, Ideal Stain® acids become part of the surface. They are not subject to fading, spoiling, cracking or peeling.

ACID-STAIN IS NOT ONLY APPLICABLE ON FLOORS

Acid-Stain can also be applied to stairs and other vertical surfaces. Architects now have a solution to produce unique and unforgettable environments which can be created and personalised to meet specific requirements by Ideal Work® applicators.
