With these combinations of concrete acid stain problems we were sure that our homeowners were going to select the microfinish option but they instead opted for the direct acid stain.
Not a problem! Our goal was to make sure they got all the information they needed to get the results they wanted. In one room that had a lot of glue on it they asked us to grind the floor to minimize it as much as possible. You can see how grinding definitely affects how the floor looks compared to the other areas that were not done.
Ultimately, the floor looks great! It has a lot of panache, We’ll be the first to admit that going this route on remodels can make us a little nervous, especially with all the concrete acid stain problems that can crop up. You hope that you’ve explained everything to the client, shown them pictures, and that they understand that it won’t be a perfect floor, it will have a lot of variations. We’re happy to report that this floor exceeded their expectations.
