Karen:
Staining
concrete can be very finicky. My
advice is to work with someone who has done this before and have them make you
a large sample panel before going ahead.
If you are accepting of a lot of variation, spottiness, etc., you may be
satisfied. I have specified and
seen stained conc. floors specified several times and the clients are usually a
little put off when they first see their big ole floor all done.
Nevertheless,
stained conc. floors can be very attractive and appropriate for many
applications.

Subject: [GBlist] staining
concrete floors
Hello
everybody -
Has
anybody had any experience with staining the concrete slab to produce a
finished floor?
We have
radiant tubing inside the slab, and would consider tiling, but would also
consider simply staining the concrete. Any advice?
Thanks,
Karen Gros
