Versatile
and Beautiful
Longevity
Decorative
concrete
and
acid
staining have
actually
been
around
since
the
turn
of
the
century.
- L.M.
Scofield
started
manufacturing
acid
stains
in
the
1920’s
- The “Big
Sur
Inn” in
Cal.
was
stained
in
the early
1900’s
and
the
floor
still
looks
great
today.
- The
great
architect,
Frank
Lloyd
Wright,
even
used
it
in
the
early
1900’s
with
stained
walls
and
floors.
- Gilbert
Stanley
Underwood,
another
fine
architect
who
worked
with
the
National
Park
Service,
used
textured
and
stained
concrete
at the
Jackson
Lake
Lodge
in
the
Grand
Teton
National
Park
in
the
early
1950’s.
- With
proper
care,
as
you
can
see,
decorative
concrete
can
last
a
lifetime.

your Options
Just imagine what this
incredible
material
could do
for you and
most applications
are cheaper
than tile,
wood and
yes even
carpeting.
- A
decorative
concrete
patio
with
a great
design
would
sure
be a
wonderful
place
to
hold
all
those
BBQ’s.
Everyone
will
love
it!
- Acid
stained
concrete
floors with
intricate
scored patterns
and
multiple
colors in
that
new
loft
of
yours.
- Add
a touch
of
elegance
with
a
stamped
overlay
at
the end
of your
driveway.
This
always
gets attention!
- Maybe
just
a simple
concrete
resurfacing,
called
a
broom
finish,
on
your
old
nasty
and
cracked
driveway
to
spruce
it
up
like
new.
Just
think,
you
wouldn’t
even
have
to
tear
it
all
out
either
(along
with
a
lot
of
grass).
Best
part
about
that
is,
it’s
60%
stronger
than
the
original
concrete
and
it’s
half
the
price.
We
knew
you’d
like
that
part.
- Epoxy
garage
floor
coatings
that look
and shine
like the
pictures
you
see
in
magazines
sitting
under
your
pride
and
joy. This
epoxy
won’t
peel
up
under
Hot Tires,
guaranteed!
- The
basement
that
you’re
modeling
would
sure
look
great
with
a
floor
that
looks
like
stone
or
even
acid
stained
for
an
easy
care
floor.
- Tired
of burning
your
feet
on
the Hot
Concrete on
your
pool
deck,
resurfacing
will
cool
it
down
by
as much
as
60%,
make
it look
spectacular
and
provide
a
non-slip surface.
- Remodeling
your
kitchen
or
building
a
new
house,
how would
you like
your countertops
and floor
to match?
Acid staining
of a
concrete
polymer
overlay
on
the floor
and countertops
that are
poured
in
place
would
give you
this dramatic
effect
that
no one
else
has.
It’s
nice
to
have
something
very
unique
in
your
home.
- How
about
a beautiful
marble
foyer,
but
is that
really
marble?
You
know
how
much
marble
costs!
How
about
extending
that
look
to
the
your
front
porch
or
even
the
walkway
to
give
a smooth
transition
into
your
home.
- The
family
room
in
your
new
addition
has
tile
floors
that
never
seem
to
chip
or
stain
despite
the
fact
you
have
five
kids
in
the
house.
There’s
a funny thing
about decorative
concrete,
it has so
many uses
and there’s
only one
limitation,
Your
Imagination!!
