Concrete floors

7 years ago

Thinking of getting our floors stain in our new home. Wondering if anyone can give us advise and whether yours were acid stain or dyed. How are they holding up? How is the maintenance and are they hard on the feet & legs if just walking around. Some information I found stated that they were cold in the winter, while we live in Central Texas our winters are mild (so far). Thanks to all.

We did acid stain @ fIve years ago using Kemiko products on @ 1600 sf basement project and very pleased. The wear & tear of kids & pets has not damaged the floor and it isn’t hard to care for.

It gets worn in high traffic areas & we have to put a liquid floor wax on it to protect the sealer a few times a year.

Under floor heat would have been nice but we didn’t want to tear up the existing slab.
