CONCRETE CAN BE EXCITING!
It’s
true! Let the image
of a plain gray concrete slab be gone forever. We at Golden Seibert,
Co., Inc. are expert in providing some of the most beautiful and distinctive
finished concrete floors in the New Mexico market.
We generally use on
of two methods to achieve our goal. We either have the mix delivered to
the site with the color already in the concrete mix. This is integral
color and is the same color though out the mix. The other alternative is
to stain the top of the slab after it has been placed. The acid staining
process gives a much more varied or variegated appearance to the
surface. Which is not to say that our integral slabs are monochromatic.
Our hand applied, hard troweled slabs are burnished in and provide a
distinct and varied look all their own. The hard work of hand (and
knee!) application is the key. And our guys are the best in the
business.
 We have done projects where we
have used
combinations of both techniques to provide an even more unique finished
product. The results have been stunning.
The pallet available to most acid staining
applications is limited to variations in either brown or green. This is
due to the fact that most stain producers use combinations of copper and
iron oxide as the base for coloration. While the integral color pallet
is much broader. Just imagine a deep, almost burgundy color called
Sangria, with rich gray burnished accents. After one of these floors is
sealed and the final floor finish is applied, the results are
magnificent.
Even a plain gray floor can come to life if the initial
application was worked properly and the final steps of sealing and
finishing have been completed. Some of our favorite floors have been
done this way. A more beautiful and durable surface would be hard to
imagine.
The staining option is also a possibility for many
old and in place applications. If the surface is in good enough shape,
it can be given a new life and a whole new look with an acid stain.
We can combine your imagination with our experience
to provide you with a distinctive and unique concrete floor. Even if you
decide on plain old gray.
