FAQs

How much paint do I need?

A 2.5L tin should cover a reasonable area. Coverage depends on the porosity of the tiles and the number of coats applied. Check the product label for specific coverage details.

Can I use this paint on walls?

No, this paint is specifically formulated for floor tiles and is not recommended for use on walls.

Do I need to sand the tiles before painting?

No sanding is required. The paint is designed to adhere directly to the tiles without sanding or priming.

What kind of roller or brush should I use?

A good quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints is recommended. A short-nap roller is usually best for a smooth finish.

How long does the paint last?

The paint is designed to be very durable, but the lifespan can depend on the amount of foot traffic and cleaning it receives. With proper care, it should last for many years.

Can I order a sample?

A sample is not available for this product because it needs to be mixed with the activator to function correctly. You can order a sample in an alternative formula for color matching purposes.

What if I don't use all the paint within 5 days?

Once mixed with the activator, the paint's performance is affected after 5 days, so it is recommended to only mix the amount you need. If the paint is not mixed with the activator, it can be stored for longer.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and free of any contaminants before application. Make sure the paint is mixed well with the activator.

Uneven finish or brush marks.

Apply the paint in even coats, avoiding excessive build-up. Use a high-quality brush or roller designed for smooth finishes. Consider a second coat if necessary.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Make sure the tiles are suitable for the paint. Ensure the paint is applied on a dry surface. If the surface is too smooth, lightly sand the tile to provide a better surface for adhesion.
