Improve the look of concrete.

Vertical Concrete Stain is a cost-effective way to color and improve the appearance of large concrete structures, including parking garages, stadium supports, tilt-up, block, stucco walls, and other applications. The stain, which can be applied to new or existing concrete, acts as a water repellent,

offers excellent adhesion, and resists fading, blistering, and efflorescence. The stain goes on easily with conventional spray equipment, dries quickly, and offers favorable sag resistance and little overspray. It offers better weather protection than conventional acrylic coatings, without adding excessive cost. Sherwin-Williams Co., 800-524-5979, www.sherwin-williams.com. Circle 2.
