We just completed this basement floor in Seaside Heights NJ. The homeowner is in the final stages of finishing his basement and wanted a more formal look for hosting parties and gatherings. We suggested our beautiful stain finish. The home owner loved the idea and with over a dozen colors to choose from we had no problem finding one to compliment the theme he was going for.
Staining concrete is much like staining wood. Just like no two pieces of wood stain the exact same color neither does concrete. Wood will absorb stain differently due to the moisture content, the direction of the grain and how porous the wood is. The same holds true when you are staining concrete. The marbleized look achieve (as seen in the pictures below) is evident of this. As the concrete slabs absorbs the stain, beautiful and memorizing marbling appears. The variations in the finish create a dazzling effect of color and contrast, providing a rich and stunning finish product sure to get your guests attention.
Why put down boring tile with grout lines that chip and need to be cleaned when you can have a beautiful stained concrete floor that requires minimal effort to clean….a mop and a bucket of water will do the trick!
The color the home owner chose was Burnt Sienna. The house was situated right on the water in Seaside Heights. Take a look at the picture of the sunset form the home owners front porch….you can pick up the same burnt sienna color in the distance.
