Stained Concrete Golden Rod, 1 Pint

Stained Concrete Golden Rod – 1 Pint

The Stained Concrete Golden Rod – 1 Pint is a premium acid-based concrete stain engineered to enhance concrete floors and surfaces with a rich, semi-transparent golden hue. Because this formula penetrates concrete rather than simply coating it, it creates permanent chemical reactions that result in depth, texture, and visual character unique to each application.

For similar color-enhancing options, you can explore products like Concrete Stain: Black, 1 Qt, which offers rich tones for interior and exterior concrete surfaces. 

Performance & Durability

Golden Rod is UV stable and resists fading in sunlight, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The stain can be mixed and applied, then sealed, all in a single day, minimizing project downtime and delivering professional results quickly.

This stain can also be blended with other hues like the versatile Concrete Stain, Desert Sand, 1 Gallon to achieve multi-tonal effects that suit patios, driveways, walkways, and more.

Application & Coverage

For best results, concrete should be fully cured for 28–45 days before staining. Each 1-pint container yields 1 gallon once mixed, covering roughly 100–200 sq ft per gallon depending on slab porosity and surface texture.

Before staining, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from sealers or coatings. Effective cleaning is key to achieve deep chemical penetration; products like Concrete Cleaning Solutions and Detergent, 1 Gallon help prepare the surface for optimum stain performance. 

After staining, the surface must be rinsed and neutralized to stop the chemical reaction and ensure consistent coloration.

Sealing & Protection

Once the stained surface is fully dry, applying a protective concrete sealer is highly recommended. Sealers help lock in color, improve durability, and protect the finish from abrasion, moisture, and daily wear.

For decorative concrete and exposed aggregate finishes, related products such as Surface Retarder for Exposed Aggregate Concrete, 5 Gallon can also enhance texture and appearance before sealing. 

The Golden Rod stain has a VOC content below 350 g/L, making it compliant with industry standards for decorative concrete applications.

Ideal Uses & Benefits

This stain works beautifully in both interior and exterior environments, including residential garages, patios, commercial floors, and high-traffic walkways. Application methods like sprayers, brushes, sponges, or rags allow for creative control over the final look.

Because it becomes part of the concrete itself, this stain will not peel or chip like paints or surface coatings, ensuring a long-lasting decorative finish.

For additional variety, products like Concrete Stain, Antique Grey, 1 Gallon offer alternative color options that still deliver durability and deep penetration. 

This product is ideal for anyone seeking a durable, customizable solution for decorative concrete, whether for home improvement or professional projects. Before full application, always review the technical data sheet and test on a small surface area.
