Stained Concrete
Concrete is a wonderful product. Not only is it the literal material that is holding up infrastructure around Albuquerque, NM, it is also the substance that forms the strongest components in the home. The moment you see a slab of grey material, your mind will immediately register what it is and subsequently ignore it. What if there was a way to no longer ignore concrete, but then use it to add beauty and functionality to the floors of any home, office, or commercial building?
That is the very reason why you and everyone in Albuquerque, NM should be looking at concrete staining. You don’t have to put vinyl or wood on the floors as everyone else does. Instead, you can stand out with the beautiful colors and patterns possible with a concrete stained floor. These work great in areas such as:

Instead, you can stand out with the beautiful colors and patterns possible with a concrete stained floor. These work great in areas such as:
- walkways and patios,
- kitchen countertops instead of marble,
- vertical surfaces such as the walls in your bathroom, the lobby, walls in your home, and even the fireplace.
The Acid Stain
Concrete is a very strong alkaline mixture. To get some beautiful stains on it will require the help of a very strong acid. To get those beautiful patterns, brindles, and works of art into the concrete that is on your floor, this method will rely on a mixture of metallic salts that are soluble in acid, some water, and of course, hydrochloric acid.
Basic chemistry, really. The acid will work on the concrete to make it easy for the metallic salts to seep into the concrete. It is these salts that are responsible for the color that you will get on the concrete. Once the stain sets into the concrete, it becomes a permanent fixture. There is absolutely no chance that it will fade away or peel.
With this method, we at Zia Decorative Concrete will be able to etch various earth tones onto your concrete. These colors are usually terra cotta, a variety of tans and browns, and the soft blue-greens you get from natural stones.

The Water Based Stains
Well, a stain is a stain. It doesn’t matter where it is coming from. In this case though, you want the stain to become a part of the concrete for as long as that concrete is in existence. In a similar manner to acid stains, water-based stains penetrate the concrete to leave a stain that is non-removable.
The best part about water-based stains is the fact that they come in a variety of hues. From black and white to the vibrant hue you have in mind and they can range from translucent hues to opaque ones. Seriously, the choices here are aplenty.
