Low Cost Concrete Floor Staining
This is not an article for the research, how to acid wash concrete. For this reason, the same look for less than half the cost of acid staining!
First, you need to gather your supplies. You can find them in a local DIY store like Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, etc. You need a solid concrete stain, I recommend two colors that complement each other, ie the tan and dark brown Sun Concrete Sealer is the different degrees of brightness, Decide whether you want to see a search of the property, the floor or slightly glossy, and sufficient to seal your floors 6-8 times. You will also need an economic gallon sprayer, just make sure it has an adjustable nozzle. A long-handled roller with a nap paint tray semi-smooth. And, of course, you need plastic tape to protect your paint and other industries. And a big piece of cardboard or tasting room, you do not mind ruining.
Second, remove all the furniture in theSpace and be sure to prepare the surface and the surrounding areas well. I recommend 4-6 feet from the wall so as to avoid over-spray and paint pen. Be sure to soak or really good, because all land that has developed on the ground are once you start on this.
Now you are ready to begin! Mix concrete stain color as separates, they must be mixed. Carefully pour the surface stainin your syringe. Once again and fix if necessary, ready to pump sprayer to spray. Test your pattern on some cardboard or other non-local mind is confused, I tried it on my garage floor. Make sure you plan, keep a few meters from the syringe, or patch of puddles get spots when looking from the injection. When you create are comfortable with you see, go to work on your soil to prepare. Remember, you're not trying tocompletely cover the ground, you want to try a natural stone. If you have the edge, I suggest you target a few meters from the ground to get to the edge and do not puddle, but the sketches are always looking to go. Make sure you work to take out the door in the corner ... You do not want to be waiting on them for 4 hours or so dry! Pour left over stain back into its original box and clean the syringe with it ready forThe color of your neighbor! The whole process should not take a long time, my 130 square feet of space attracted me only 45 minutes to one.
Then wait the recommended time before beginning the second layer. After the first coat is dry, repeat the procedure from the first layer, filling in areas that had less splatter and the areas which were on too much of another color. too dry for the second level to maintain. If you are shown the way in which your model is satisfied, go toSealing the floor. If you are not completely satisfied with your spot models are required to share the different colors until you are satisfied with the pattern. The sealant will not change the appearance, if you have a semi-gloss sealer will be held only so that does not scratch. I have three layers and the third layer, I have a hand sprayer, so I could get a fine mist and a smaller area to be feared, because the bleach spray covers a wider area.
When finished, pour yourSealed in a tray on wheels, a good deal on your role, you would like to paint and roll, the earth is forgotten. You yourself do not roll out of the room instead of in a corner! Then the recommended time to wait for the seal to dry, then wait with the rest of his hands for each layer to dry.
You're done! Take your plastic and floors, move back the furniture in the room and enjoy your place!
