Reasons for concrete staining

The extra protection also helps to prevent mold and mildew growth on the surface. In addition, it tends to "penetrate" the surface; rather than lay on top like paint will.
​
​2. Stain Is Fire-resistant

Concrete staining is highly beneficial in factories that make use of flammable materials because it serves as a passive fire resistance setup.
​

However, when concrete is stained, its thermal mass is enhanced, and it reduces overdependence on the heating and air condition system.
