Before You Use Concrete Stain Sprayers

By Miranda Hawkins


When you do not have the budget, there times that you do not get to finish some parts of the home. The plan is already laid out but you are still waiting for the right amount. The longer you wait, the more worn out some of the parts would look like. If you are looking to improve the appearance of your flooring, one way for you to accomplish this is to have it stained.

Having your flooring stained does not mean that you have to spill something over it to make it dirty. This means that you are going to evenly color it with the use of concrete stain sprayers. This is an effective method to ensure the color of the floor stays for a long time.

This is the method that people usually turn to if they want to have an antique effect on their floors. And if you want this to become the theme of the other surfaces, you should not expect that it would be the same in shading and coloration. Each surface is made with various materials and at a different time. These are some of the reason for the difference in the shade.

Before you point the sprayer in the surfaces, you have to properly inspect and prepare the floors first. When the surfaces are too old, if you apply the chemical mixture of products in it, it will become more porous. And then it will weaken. The texture is also not too desirable, which is why you have to check.

Before you can start the staining process, you have to prepare the entire space first. There are floors that are not suitable for staining because of they are too old. The best remedy for this is to add a fresh coating of concrete. If you ever see any cracks, you can always fix it by putting in fillers.

You have to see to it that the entire surface is clean and spotless. There are times that oil products can stick more than what you can expect. If this is the case, you have to scrub it off using other products. This will lessen the effectiveness of the stainer and the results would be uneven.

There will be a need for you to put a sealant over the finished product. Which is why you have to consider what you want to use. There are various seals that will make you achieve varied results as well. If you want it to be glossy or in a matte finish, this can be done if you use the proper product.

If you are thinking of skipping the cleaning part, you have to think again. There are many people who were disappointed because of the unevenness in the surface. You need to spend a good deal of time cleaning the entire floor.

There are a lot of people who would like it better if this job is done by the pros. This can also be an option for those who are too busy to have time for the entire process. And if you lack the equipment and want the entire process to be done immediately, professionals is the best way to go. But if you are considering the budget for this, you need to really have to do this on your own. This way, you can save on the fees that you will be paying for a professional service.
