Q: Can I apply CreteStain myself?
A: Cemcrete products are not DIY, however CreteStain is an easier application and you can attempt to apply it yourself. Try a sample area first, before attempting larger areas. We always recommend using a trained contractor to do the application, but if you need more information regarding the application of a Cemcrete product, please download the product datasheets from the products page on our website.
Q: Do you have to seal a CreteStain floor?
A: Yes. Cement by nature is porous and applying a sealer ensures that your cement floor is protected from any spills or normal wear and tear.
Q: Can I stain my existing paving?
A: If the main ingredient of your paving bricks is OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement), then yes, you will be able to stain your existing paving. CreteStain does not react with clay bricks unless over-coated with a cement plaster.
Q: How many layers of CreteStain can I apply?
A: You can apply as many coats of CreteStain as you want until the desired colour is achieved, remembering to remove the residue in between coats.
