Can the Product Be Used for Both Interior and Exterior Applications?Because they penetrate the concrete surface, most acid- and water-based stains have excellent UV stability and wear resistance, permitting you to use them on both interior and exterior concrete slabs. However, makers of some dyes do not recommend their products for exterior use because the color can fade when exposed to direct sunlight. If you are considering using a dye for an outdoor project, be sure to check its suitability for exterior applications. Most manufacturers also recommend applying a clear sealer to newly stained or dyed concrete for additional protection from abrasion, chemicals, and UV exposure.
