Bomanite Patene Artectura (left) chemical stains are formulated to permanently color-etch new or existing concrete surfaces. The stain is infused into the concrete, which allows the character of the original slab to show through and results in a translucent, mottled finish that will not chip, crack, or peel. Patene Artectura can be used in conjunction with other components of the company’s topping systems, including cementitious topping products Micro-Top (which can be applied over any stable substrate at roughly the thickness of a credit card) and Thin-Set (applied at a thickness of 3/8 inch to 1 inch).Bomanite products are installed by licensed Bomanite contractors.559.673.2411. www.bomanite.com.Circle 10.
