Stained Concrete -
LITHOCHROME® Tintura™ Stain - Bright Orange, Mustard Yellow, Vivid Violet, Devon Brown, Black

Sealer -
SCOFIELD® Selectseal-S™

"After the carpet was removed we found a layer of VCT under the yellow carpet adhesive which also had to be removed. I explained to the customer that even after aggressive diamond grinding there would be "tile halo." After almost 20 years of working with Scofield materials exclusively, this is a phrase I coined several years ago.

I have seen this phenomenon many times. The VCT and old adhesive are removed, diamond grind and /or shot blast to clean concrete and the stain is applied. As soon as the sealer is applied, a ghosting effect or tile grid appears unexpectedly. Thus, the importance of the mock-up. In this case our customer liked the "tile halo" effect as part of the unique look of their restaurant". - Lou DeCillis, Artistic Concrete Systems
