GemTone Concrete Floor Stain

Consolideck® GemTone Stain transforms dull gray concrete into decorative, low-maintenance finished concrete flooring. This non-flammable, water-reducible formulation penetrates and colors cementitious surfaces without risk of etching the surface or corroding nearby architectural metals.

Use GemTone Stain alone or in layers over gray, integrally colored, acid-stained or colorhardened concrete for an unlimited range of colors. Apply penetrating GemTone Stains to concrete before hardening/densifying with Consolideck® LS®, then apply the appropriate Consolideck® protective treatment to seal and enhance the color with a highgloss protective finish. Concentrated GemTone Stain minimizes freight, handling, storage and container disposal costs.
