<p>"paint" or stain can vary widely for longevity and adhesion. Many pigments may be uv resistant but the sun will always fade color over time regardless of that uv stability, some may just be faster than others. Stains will also vary in their ability to soak into the surface or cling to the surface in more of a film formation. The latter will provide more coverage, but it has the tendency to "chip" or peel when it deteriorates. Penetrating stains(like our WB!!plug, plug) will soak in more…</p>
<p>"paint" or stain can vary widely for longevity and adhesion. Many pigments may be uv resistant but the sun will always fade color over time regardless of that uv stability, some may just be faster than others. Stains will also vary in their ability to soak into the surface or cling to the surface in more of a film formation. The latter will provide more coverage, but it has the tendency to "chip" or peel when it deteriorates. Penetrating stains(like our WB!!plug, plug) will soak in more so they will not come off. Sealers will do two things. One, they will help secure the stain to and within that surface when it comes to the elements. Concrete erodes(especially more porous concrete like vertical) and with it goes the stain. Sealers slow that erosion AND, secondly, most will provide added UV protectios, slowing that sun fade even more.</p>
<p>When it comes to the finish, matte or natural finishes are usually desired but there are exceptions based on what that client is looking for.
