The final product can be left a natural gray color, or stained any color you desire (usually brown). The sealant can have a glossy or matte finish, depending on the desired look.
A sealed concrete floor is simply raw concrete with a clear sealer applied over the surface. This type of floor offers a clean and minimalist aesthetic, highlighting the natural beauty of the concrete.
A stained concrete floor is exactly what it sounds like…it is when you add a stain to the concrete before sealing it. This process involves applying acid-based or water-based stains, resulting in unique patterns and shades that enhance the visual appeal of the concrete.
Many people use the terms “sealed concrete” and “polished concrete” interchangeably these are NOT the same thing. Polished concrete involves mechanically grinding the concrete surface to achieve a smooth and glossy finish.
