Transform your concrete!
Staining concrete is one of the most popular applications for transforming concrete slabs in the Iowa City area. CGI offers many different stained concrete colors and designs. Often referred to as colored concrete, homeowners, designers and builders are drawn to stained concrete because of the unique outcome that can be achieved by combining colors, application techniques, etc., on cement flooring and other substrates. The results are limited only by the creativity of those involved in the stained concrete process.
Because of concrete’s porous qualities and neutral tone, it is the perfect blank canvas for topically applied color. Using acid-based/water-based chemical stains, decorative concrete contractors have been able to achieve rich, earth-toned color schemes resembling natural stone, marble, wood, or even leather, giving a completely custom look to cement floors, concrete driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, concrete walls and more. Stained concrete for your home or business offers ease of maintenance for years and years.

Using Acid Stain vs. Acrylic Stain
Using concrete stain is an easy and inexpensive way to spruce up that boring gray concrete and bring some color and life to your patio, porch, basement floor, etc. Instead of paint, you want something that’s not going to chip or flake and let your concrete maintain some of its natural appearance. You’ve probably heard of acid stain and maybe even seen some examples of how these stains can transform the look of a concrete surface. There are also acrylic stains designed for concrete which may be more suitable for your situation and taste.
