Epoxy vs Concrete Stain

Concrete stain colors the slab itself. Epoxy adds a film. Stain preserves the concrete look; epoxy adds a protective wear layer.

Key points

  • Stain: colors the substrate, no wear layer
  • Epoxy: builds a protective film on top
  • Combined systems: stain plus a clear coating

Frequently asked
