Patina by Patterned Concrete^® is a proprietary staining and hardening process that creates variegated or translucent colour staining effects on concrete surfaces, much like the shadings of natural stone or the aged appearance of a time-worn patina. The result is unique and cannot be duplicated by other colouring materials. It creates a chemical reaction with the concrete to become an inherent part of the surface. Saw cuts add sophisticated detail. Patina floors will not fade, chip, crack or peel, wearing only as natural concrete. Their translucency will not hide defects or discoloration in the concrete but make the natural variations in texture less noticeable and reduce surface glare. Patina is a popular finish for kitchens, living areas and commercial applications. Ask your Patterned Concrete^® Licensed Professional if this is suitable for your concrete surface.
