Although some contractors claim that reactive concrete stain works fine on vertical surfaces, to prevent any streaking, top experts recommend sticking with horizontal applications. However, when you consider the vast number of flat surfaces inside and outside, there are incredible possibilities for transforming different spaces.

Whether you select an acid-based stain like SunStain or a water-based product like SunH20, you will love the results. With either one, you can change the color of a concrete surface in any room of the home, different areas of your business, or even an industrial environment.

Beyond interior floors, concrete stain is the perfect choice for giving new life to outside spaces, including patios, driveways, courtyards, front porches, walkways, pool decks, and more. With a myriad of color options, you can achieve any look you want. However, with aggregates or special additives blended into the formula, the surface becomes slip-resistant, which reduces the risk of someone slipping or falling.

A reactive concrete stain like SunStain creates an entirely different look than H2O, which is a non-reactive stain. For that reason, you need to start by determining what you want the surface to look like, whether you want it marbled or more uniform. Although the outcome is unique, both products will meet if not exceed your expectations.

For the best outcome, Sundek, which manufactures both the products mentioned, recommends having the concrete stain applied by a trained installer. That way, you have the assurance that the color will look incredible and last a long time.

With high product performance, your new flooring or exterior surface will look stunning and add value to your property. While a water-based stain merely changes the color of the concrete at the surface, an acid-based stain penetrates where it reacts to salts and chemicals, thereby creating a one-of-a-kind variegated effect. However, that does not diminish the results achieved with a water-based stain.
