While it continues to grow in popularity amongst homeowners and business owners alike, acid stained, decorative concrete flooring is still something of an unknown entity to many. What is also largely unknown is that in terms of creating that marble or stone look one isn't limited to concrete staining of floors. Thanks to a process known as concrete overlay, companies like Acid Stain Designs of Phoenix can transform almost any surface in your home to include the same breathtaking look of stained concrete.

Before learning how a concrete overlay can transform many parts of your home, it makes sense to learn exactly what one entails. In short, a concrete overlay is a thin layer spread over either existing concrete or another compatible surface. Once installed, the overlay is then stamped or smoothed and colored or stained in a unique decorative pattern. What does this mean for you as a consumer? Merely that in terms of upgrading the look and feel of your house there are very few areas aren't receptive to this type of treatment.

Concrete overlays provide the tool with which to transform almost any surface in your home into one with an elegant stone look. And when we say almost any surface we mean it. From walls and doorways to kitchen islands and back splashes, driveways, walkways, patios, garages, pool decks and more, the only limit is your imagination. Once a surface is chosen, a thin cement overlay is applied as the first step in the process. A stone pattern of your choice is then custom carved into the overlay, and in virtually no time your home will reap the benefits of a design and pattern custom made to accentuate your existing decor.
