Colored concrete

Rosey | Posted in Construction Techniques on

This may be intuitive or a dumb question, but if I plan on using

an acid stain technique to color a conrete floor, should I NOT

use fibermesh concrete? The fibers will probably show, but

does this detract or add to appearance?

    not fiber. I don't know your experience base with this, so I'll just say make darn sure you do all the prep, have it clean and dry, and get absolutely nothing on it until the stuff is done. At $120 a gallon, it's expensive enough without mucking up the concrete.
