[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Looking to transform your outdoor space into a warm and welcoming retreat? We recently completed a project where we turned a small 8×20 concrete covered patio and sunroom into a really cozy golden space, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]To get the look we wanted, we used ColorWave water-based stain in the shade Gold.

Transforming a 1980s Sunroom with Azure Blue<\/a> Concrete Stain<\/h2>\n

If you’re looking to give your outdoor space a fresh new look, consider giving concrete stain a try! In this project, we transformed a 1980s sunroom into a peaceful place to enjoy coffee in the morning, afternoon, and evening.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”97668″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”97667″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]The first step was to thoroughly prep and clean the floor. This included removing dirt, rust, paint, and drywall mud. We found that a citrus paint stripper and acetone fingernail polish remover were helpful in removing tough paint, but we would not recommend using CLR to remove rust spots as it seemed to result in a lighter color reaction in the affected areas.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Since the concrete was old and thirsty, we applied a sprayed-on coat of acid stain and then went back over it with spiked shoe covers and a light circular scrubbing motion using a soft scrub brush. We followed this up with two coats of EverStain in Azure Blue<\/a>. The rich blue color brings a sophisticated and calming feel to the space.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]To protect the finished surface, we applied AcquaSeal in satin. Be sure to read the safety profile on the solvent sealer and wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when applying it. We also recommend spraying a small test run of the sealer on cardboard to prime the pump and adjust the nozzle for your desired coverage. After the first coat has dried, you can use a light coating of acrylic paint to cover small imperfections or accent other areas of interest. The second coat of sealer goes on fast and seems to require less product, and it dries beautifully to give a durable finish.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”97670″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”97669″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h3″ style=”modern” color=”blue” c_icon=”” active_section=”10″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-chevron-down” add_icon=”true” title=”View Products Used” tab_id=”1671492315476-b73ccede-2faf”][vc_row_inner gap=”10″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”93045″ img_size=”150×150″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/directcolors.com\/hard-troweled-floor-pre-treatment\/”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”97222″ img_size=”150×150″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/directcolors.com\/acid-stain-resistant-spiked-shoes\/”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”86919″ img_size=”150×150″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/directcolors.com\/acid-stain\/?product_code=DC-CAS&variant_id=23201″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner gap=”10″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”95653″ img_size=”150×150″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/directcolors.com\/dci-water-based-concrete-sealer\/”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”96962″ img_size=”150×150″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/directcolors.com\/residential-concrete-floor-wax\/”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][vc_column_text]Overall, this patio remodel took 6 days and covered approximately 175 square feet.

Transforming a Dirty Concrete Floor with Malayan Buff<\/a>, Coffee Brown<\/a>, Azure Blue, and Avocado<\/a> Acid Stains<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If you’re looking for a quick and effective way to transform your enclosed back patio sunroom, acid staining is the way to go. In just a couple of days, you can give your space a whole new look.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”95504″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”95507″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]For this project, we used a wet on wet technique<\/a> with Malayan buff, Coffee Brown, Azure blue, and Avocado acid stains.

More Sunroom Floor Ideas with Acid Staining<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In this home renovation project, our customer set out to transform their sunroom by removing the old carpet, sanding and cleaning the concrete floor, and applying acid staining. The project took four days to complete and covered an estimated 104 square feet of space.<\/p>\n

To prepare the floor, our customer first removed the carpet and glue, then sanded and cleaned the surface well using a degreaser. They then applied the acid using sprayers, leaving it to sit overnight and neutralizing it the following day. After allowing the floor to dry for 24 hours, they applied the first coat of sealant and let it sit for another 24 hours before applying a second coat.
