Many water based concrete stains are appropriate for indoor use. Basement or garage floors can be easily stained improving both durability and appearance. Stained concrete counter tops are attractive, long lasting, easy to care for and have become very popular. The stain is manufactured in a multitude of colors to coordinate or contrast with any decor.

Create a look that is as simple or as detailed as you wish, the possibilities are endless.

Staining can be a do-it-yourself project or you can hire a professional. Most manufacturers and some retail stores offer free instruction on how to apply the stains and receive the maximum benefits from their products. Complicated patterns may require professional application.

Do you have children, animals or gardens? Are you concerned about the effects of using harmful chemical products in or near your home? Some of the newest concrete stain products on the market are now safe, green and environmentally friendly. However, not all stain manufacturers have a "true" green stain as several companies falsely claim they manufacture eco-friendly stains and sealants. Be sure to carefully read labels and purchase a stain that is an environmentally friendly, green, Nanotechnology product.

These new and innovative Nanotechnology, eco-friendly stains penetrate concrete surfaces up to one inch effectively eliminating and repelling water saturation. They contain no harsh chemicals, are non toxic for people, animals and plants, and protect against mold and mildew. Additionally they are non-flammable, contain no hazardous air pollutants, are odorless, will not burn skin, and are resistant to salt, chlorides and freeze/thaw cycles. Soap and water clean up adds to the ease of use.

Additionally, there are a few manufacturers that have product lines with formulas specifically designed for all types of wood structures such as Composite Decking and Exotic Woods, including bamboo, mahogany, Brazilian IPE and other tropical woods. Because nanotechnology based sealants penetrate the surface rather than sit on the top, these stains are much more effective for use on these dense woods. Some manufacturers also include a line of "fish friendly" Marine Sealants designed to be applied to docks, piers, ramps, railings, walkways, or any structure over or around fresh or salt water.

As well as upgrading your home's decorative appeal, green Nanotechnology, water based stains are durable and easy to care for. They provide long lasting waterproofing and will not discolor or streak. Sweeping or spraying with a hose will effectively clean outside stained concrete surfaces. Soap and water on interior stained concrete is all that is needed.

Enjoy your outdoor property in the warm weather, eliminate hours of maintenance, and be completely assured that no living creature will be harmed by using Nanotechnology, green, water based concrete stains while inexpensively adding value to your home.
