Coloring a Concrete Slab

Divad | Posted in Construction Techniques on

In a basement room, I would like to color the concrete slab rather than painting it or putting down a floor covering.  Is there any process that can be used to stain a cured slab?

 

Thank You

    acid stain sounds perfect. Go to http://www.acid-stain.com or decorative concrete (http://www.decorative-concrete.net/) to learn more. There is a very good message board at acid-stain.com.
