Mexican tile has long been a favorite way to capture a rustic, southwest or Spanish look in your home. Professionally known as Saltillo tile, it can add the perfect flavor of a rich outdoor feel. 

Saltillo is compromised mostly, if not completely of clay. It is very porous and therefore very versatile. It can be colored, sealed and finished in infinite ways to create many different looks to suit any decor. Please have a look at The Stone Medic website to see different examples of Saltillo tile in homes and outdoors.

The key to keeping this porous tile looking new is using proper sealer and re-sealing it when needed. Saltillo tile may need more maintenance than other types of tiles depending on foot traffic and abrasive cleaning techniques. If your Saltillo tile has not been maintained properly it may need to be stripped and resealed. Stripping is completed by using a serious of products suitable to remove the specific type of sealer.

Revitalize Your Garage with Stained Concrete

For too many years grey, ugly and drab concrete floors have been the norm in garages across America. Many people may wonder why they should bother caring about a room that is barely used, or takes a beating from being the primary work space. The answer boils down to one word: character.

Concrete Floor Stained using Multi-Colors with Design

Concrete staining does more than simply add color. Rather than produce a solid, opaque effect like paint or colored coatings, stains permeate the concrete to infuse it with rich, deep, translucent tones.  For a fraction of the cost of placing tile or stone on concrete floor, you can attain the same affect by staining it. 

Professionally staining your floor will give your garage character and appeal while still maintaining the durability that concrete supplies. By transforming your garage floor you can expand your living environment. Your garage will now have options. It can become a room, an impressive looking work space, or that long-awaited weekend "man-cave" to hang out in, or watch the game with friends.

Also keep in mind, scoring and grout can also be applied to give your concrete floor designs or make it appear as a tiled or stone surface. A garage isn't the only place to give concrete a facelift. Driveways and patios will also look beautiful and keep their durability.

Stained Concrete Driveway With Scoring

Stone Medic specializes in this growing and unique trend. No two concrete floors, walls, or countertops will look alike due to factors such as the composition and age of the concrete, surface porosity, texture, and environmental conditions. Several stain manufacturers use adjectives such as "antiqued," "variegated," or "mottled" to describe the distinctive look.  It's this variability, rather than uniformity, that gives stained concrete its broad appeal and permits an infinite array of special effects.
