There's more to stained concrete, than pretty colours. Through concrete staining techniques, concrete floors and surfaces are being transformed from ordinary to extraordinary. Today's decorative concrete and outdoor flooring contractors are proving to be leaders in taking stained concrete to the next level through their advanced staining techniques.

The Concrete Network, the largest and most comprehensive source for concrete information, is featuring outdoor flooring projects submitted by decorative concrete contractors from around the country. The concrete project articles highlight awesome flooring pictures and tell the story behind how the projects were designed and completed by these great artisans. "These articles are a great source for homeowners and designers to gain inspiration and ideas for their own concrete projects," says Khara Dizmon, Content Manager for The Concrete Network. "One of the featured project articles tells about using concrete stains to create an elaborate, oriental concrete rug, and another describes how totally different concrete designs were tied together throughout multiple rooms of a house. The things that can be done with concrete indoor and outdoor flooring these days are amazing!"

From coast to coast, outdoor flooring contractors are not bashful when it comes to experimenting and improving on the uses of the decorative concrete industry's staining products. From modern to classical designs, neutral to bold, vibrant colours, contractors are using their product expertise and creative capabilities to create exactly what a homeowner is looking for.

Staining concrete is one of the most popular applications for transforming outdoor concrete slabs. Often referred to as coloured concrete, homeowners, designers and builders are drawn to stained concrete because of the unique outcome that can be achieved combining colours, application techniques, etc. The results are limited only by the creativity of those involved in the stained concrete process.

Established in 1999, The Concrete Network's purpose is to educate consumers, builders, and contractors on popular decorative techniques and applications including stamped concrete, stained concrete floors, concrete countertops, polished concrete, and much more. In March 2007 The Concrete Network Web site had nearly one million visitors researching decorative concrete and outdoor flooring.

The site excels at connecting buyers with local flooring contractors in their area through its Find-A-Contractor service. The service provides visitors with a list of decorative concrete and outdoor flooring contractors throughout the U.S. and Canada.
