- Project Description:
I had a fresh concrete slab made for our family’s new hang out Pool Hall / Gym game room. 20×30 slab. Had to wait 30 days for concrete to cure. I wanted to make our floor look fun and beautiful without having to add flooring or carpet. I wanted it to be easy to clean too and waterproof. It came out great! - Personal Tips:
Well please please have extra sprayers just in case!!!! All of mine stopped working properly and definitely delayed my project and took longer to finish. I think it would have came out a lot better if I had proper equipment. Test your sprayers before using it with acid. Don’t don’t don’t stain in the hottest part of the day like I did. The heat made my stain dry too fast to work with and I got heat stroke too. I did not have the building up yet, I do recommend doing this prior to adding a structure if that’s a possibility. It made the prepping work much easier. Yes yes and yes I think all acid stain prep should have the concrete cleaned and Etched! My concrete was already porous but I decided to etched just in case and glad I did. I don’t think the stain would have gone as deep. I did water down some of the darker acids and happy I did. The azure blue I wish I had not cut down with water as I had to go over those spots several times to get a deeper color.I waited for building to be put up before I did final Sealer. Glad I did because the trees around me and sand would have gotten stuck on the sealer before drying completely. I did 2 coats but wish I had more to do a 3rd coat to bring out colors vibrancy more. - Direct Colors Products Used:
Concrete etcher, Azure blue, Cola, Desert Amber acid stain, Solvent Sealer, Sprayer Pump, Spike Shoes.

What is a barndominium?
A barndominium is a type of residential building that combines the traditional barn-style architecture with the functionality of a modern home. They are typically made of metal or wood and can be used for a variety of purposes, such as a primary residence, a vacation home, or a rental property. Some barndominiums include living quarters on the top floor, while others have the living quarters on the ground floor and use the upper level for storage or as a workshop. They are becoming increasingly popular in rural areas due to their unique design and versatility.
Stained Concrete Flooring for Barndominiums: Pros, Cons and Best Types of Stains
Concrete flooring is a popular choice for barndominiums due to its durability, low maintenance and versatility. However, as with any type of flooring, there are pros and cons to consider before making a decision. In this blog, we will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of stained concrete floors in a barndominium and the best types of stains to use.
One of the main advantages of stained concrete floors in a barndominium is their durability. Concrete is a strong and long-lasting material that can withstand heavy traffic and heavy machinery. Additionally, it is resistant to moisture and pests, making it a great option for barns and other agricultural buildings.
Another benefit of stained concrete floors is that they are easy to maintain and clean. They can be swept and mopped regularly to keep them looking new. Stained concrete floors also come in a variety of colors and finishes, and can be stained to match any decor.
On the other hand, one of the main disadvantages of stained concrete floors is that they can be cold in the winter. They also can be slippery when wet, so it’s important to be cautious in damp conditions. Additionally, the initial cost of installing a stained concrete floor may be higher than other flooring options.
When it comes to stains, there are several types that can be used on concrete floors in a barndominium. Acid stains penetrate the surface of the concrete and react chemically to create a unique, mottled appearance. They are available in a wide range of colors and can be mixed to create custom shades. Water-based stains are easy to apply and clean up, and they can be used to achieve a variety of colors and finishes. Finally, concrete dyes are acetone-soluble pigments that can be used to create a wide range of colors. They are easy to apply, and can be used to achieve a uniform or mottled finish.
In conclusion, stained concrete floors can be a great choice for a barndominium due to their durability and low maintenance. However, it’s important to consider the potential drawbacks and the best type of stain to use, before making a decision.
