Planning: Coverage

Coverage varies widely depending on surface porosity and texture, concrete composition and age, preparation and application techniques, and other factors.

Normally, apply at the coverage rate of 150-200ft2gallon (3.7-5.0m2/L) per application.

The concrete's finish also influences stain coverage-tightly troweled concrete absorbs stain differently from broom-finished surfaces.

The concrete's age and chemical makeup also impact the way it receives the stain. In general, expect coverage of about 150 to 200 sf per coat per gallon of stain - but be sure to follow guidelines in the Tech Data sheet.
