Colored Concrete Floors Are Just as Durable
The best reason to keep and stain your concrete floor is the incredible durability of concrete. Concrete floors can look stunning for decades with the proper maintenance.
Concrete is resistant to most normal wear and tear, making it the perfect option for a high-traffic area in your home or place of business.
Colored Concrete Is Extraordinarily Beautiful
Concrete floors are one of the most beautiful flooring options available. Clean and minimalist, these stunning floors can make a bold statement without a lot of fuss.
Just as any room in a house can be freshened by adding paint, applying dye or a stain to your concrete floor can infuse it with new life, creating a new feeling in an existing space.
Even if your concrete floor needs a little TLC, concrete resurfacing is an easy way to level it and eliminate imperfections.
During the concrete decorative process, you can choose from a variety of colors for your concrete floor. A professional floor restoration company can even create a colorful design on your concrete floor.

Room By Room
Need help choosing colors for your home's floors?
Here are a few tips from our handy guide to choosing concrete colors:
- Entryways look great in cream colors as they are welcoming and clean.
- Living areas benefit from high gloss finishes to reflect light and brighten the room.
- Garages and unfinished basements benefit from a durable and tough finish to handle traffic and appliances.
- Kitchens can look trendy with either light or dark floors to match your countertops and cabinets.
Should You Dye Your Concrete or Stain It?
Concrete stains and dyes are the two main options for coloring concrete flooring.
The difference is that concrete stains don’t penetrate the floor’s surface. Instead, they etch the surface, creating a lovely, bright finish.
Stains are great for areas exposed to UV rays, as they are more durable and will hold up. The potential downside is fewer stain color options, while concrete dyes are slightly more versatile.
Dyes are good for indoor concrete applications, and stains are perfect for outdoor concrete floors, like patios.
