How to Stain Concrete Floors for a Barndominium

Stained Concrete Course: decorativeconcreteschool.com/
In this video Im going to show you how we ground, stained and sealed a concrete floor for a barn. First we had to grind the concrete to remove the clear sealer that was on the floor. Once the concrete was cleaned, we applied our acetone dye concrete stain to the entire floor. Then we sealed the concrete with Westcoat Water-based Clear Epoxy. We let the epoxy cure overnight, and then we came back and finished the project up by applying Westcoat water based urethane.

Thanks! We do polished concrete too…but sometimes we like to use stained & sealed concrete. Our epoxy & urethane sealer holds up really well. We did their previous house about 10 years ago and they liked the product. We’ve done a lot of stained & sealed concrete at a local college and that has been holding up really well too. I also think the color comes out a lot richer when we stain & seal the concrete.

Quick update on the project. I received the Fast Stain, EC-11 and SC-65. However I assumed the Fast Stain came with the Acetone when I ordered it. Apparently it doesn't. (whoops!) So I'll still need to order that. (Should I stick with Westcoat or would any Acetone work? I'm guessing I should stick with Westcoat..) Also, the project I'm working on is my house. Which I'm currently living in. My plan is to do this in two parts (probably two separate weekends) moving furniture as necessary. Have you had any experience with blending in connecting rooms that are done at different times? Am I crazy to do this? :) Thanks for the awesome videos, and I really admire your camera / editing work. Seems like Concrete isn't the only thing you enjoy doing. :)

Make sure all gas pilot lights are off. Wear a respirator & keep the area ventilated. I’m not sure about matching it in two sections. I would imagine that it’s going to be a little different no matter how hard to try to hide it. Just try to pick a good spot for the seam… maybe in a doorway or at the end of a hallway. Let me know how the project goes. I’d love to see photos. @timdcva on IG

I'd like to stain and seal the concrete floor under our mountain-top outdoor pavilion (open sides, covered with roof) in Arkansas. About 1600 sf. 1. In one of the comments, you recommended acid stain for outdoor projects - may I ask why? 2. Our pavilion is next to a pond and will get wet from muddy clay feet and storms blowing in rain, so I need a NON-SLIP surface. Should I just use a really low-grit sanding or some type of additive or both? Maybe putting sand into the sealer? 3. How prone is the finished floor to scratches? My crazy family will be moving our furniture all over the place whenever they're up there. Advice?

@TimDCVA 2 жыл бұрын

1- dyes aren’t intended for outdoor use. I feel like acid stain holds up better than semi-transparent water based stains for commercial use. 2- I’m not sure… it depends on what texture you have on your concrete not. If it’s broom finished now then it probably won’t be slippery. If it has a slick finish then you will need to add something to the sealer for traction. 3- it usually holds up really well under normal use. Most new furniture isn’t going to damage it… but you can’t drag around old heavy iron chairs without scratching it.

Thanks! Yes I think it would hold up pretty well on a garage...as long as you grind it for the prep. Im not sure what the tech data sheet says...but generally speaking, the floor needs to be 60 degrees or warmer. It would hold up for a long time as long as you keep it sealed up. Grit being tracked in from the car acts like sandpaper on the floor, so you just have to watch the high traffic areas. If its start wearing through sealer, you probably need to apply another coat.

We just removed carpet from our basement revealing large cracks. I would like to do this on my floor. I don’t really want to get rid of the cracks I kinda like them. Do you have any suggestions for me?

We don’t ever try to cover cracks on stained concrete. I would just do whatever prep is necessary (grind to remove carpet glue or sealer) and stain the floor as is.
