Concrete Floors With Practical, Decorative Options
From standard poured slabs to stained concrete floors, Concrete Canvas helps DFW homeowners choose a surface, color and finish suited to the space.
Flooring Options
A concrete floor can be simple or highly finished
Concrete Canvas works with standard flatwork and decorative concrete surfaces. Depending on the space and slab condition, options may include a broom or textured finish, stained concrete, saw-cut scoring, borders and custom color. Interior floors can use acid or water-based stains, with sealer choices ranging from natural matte to satin or high gloss.
Match the Surface to the Space
Consider appearance, slab condition and use
Concrete staining preserves the natural character of the slab, so existing cracks, patches and marks may remain visible. If you want a more uniform appearance or the slab has heavier damage, a decorative overlay may be worth considering. Surface preparation is important whether the project involves a new pour, staining or resurfacing.
Stained concrete floors
Acid stains create earthy, variegated tones, while water-based stains and dyes provide a broader palette of more consistent colors.
Sealer and sheen choices
A sealer protects the finished surface and can provide a natural matte, satin or high-gloss appearance.
Patterns and accents
Saw-cut scoring, borders and medallions can add structure to a floor without covering its concrete character.
Surface Preparation Matters
A floor finish starts with the existing slab
Before choosing a concrete floor treatment, the slab should be evaluated for age, condition, residue and existing sealers or curing compounds. Cleaning and profiling help stain take more evenly, while a sound existing slab may be a candidate for decorative resurfacing. Concrete Canvas can compare stained concrete, an overlay or a new pour based on the condition and intended use of the floor.

Concrete Floor FAQs
Common Questions About Concrete Floor Installation
Can concrete floors be stained after installation?
Yes. Acid and water-based stains can be applied to new or existing concrete after the surface is properly cleaned and prepared. The slab’s age, mix and condition affect the final appearance.
Will staining hide cracks or stains in a concrete floor?
No. Stain is translucent, so cracks, patches and some marks may remain visible. A decorative overlay may be a better option when a more uniform surface is desired.
What kind of sealer can be used on a concrete floor?
Sealers can range from natural matte to satin or high gloss. The appropriate choice depends on the intended appearance and how the floor will be used.
