Acid-Stained Concrete

In 2005 That Can't Be Concrete was created and acid stain concrete floors were the focus of the business. To create this decorative concrete finish, we take the following steps: prepare the concrete surface using diamond polishing equipment to sand the floor to remove any contaminants and clean the surface. Since its inception That Can't Be Concrete uses Kemiko Acid Stains sprayed onto the surface using acid resistant pump-up garden sprayers, we have found the most reliable ones are made by Chapin Manufacturing, the stain can be diluted with water to give different hues of the color selected for the project. Once the stain has dwelled on the surface for the necessary time for color reaction, we use an acid neutralizing solution of ammonia and water to neutralize the acid-stain prior to cleaning. Once the floor is visibly dry, we move to the sealing process that involves the use of Kemiko Stone Tone sealer, it's applied by using a low (175 rpm) speed floor buffing machine and a series of two brushes, one to apply the sealer and the other to buff it to a semi-gloss shine. After sealing new construction projects we cover the floor for protection from other trades until the project is ready for occupancy at which time we clean and apply another light coat of the sealer. That Can't Be Concrete has successfully completed over 1,000,000 sf of acid-stained concrete for customers just like you in the residential and commercial sectors. If we can be of service to you or someone you know in the Northeast Arkansas area needing stained concrete contact us via the website or visit our social media pages, we look forward to working with you to give you the best look possible for your project!
