Product Information

Full details

Floorsaver Epoxy Floor Paint is a professional-grade, water-based two-part epoxy resin designed for homeowners and industrial managers looking to fortify concrete surfaces in garages, workshops, and warehouses. Its primary benefit is the creation of a dust-proof, resilient barrier that withstands heavy loads like forklifts, parked vehicles, and high foot traffic. While it offers excellent durability and low-odour application, users should note that the two-part system requires careful mixing and adherence to drying times to achieve a long-lasting, professional finish.

FAQs

Can I apply this over existing paint?

Yes, as long as the existing paint is stable, well-bonded, and thoroughly cleaned and sanded to provide a key for the new layer.

How long does the paint last before I need to re-coat?

In standard conditions with proper preparation, the paint can last several years. Life span depends heavily on the intensity of the traffic and how well the surface was prepared.

Does it require a primer?

On highly porous concrete, a thinned first coat of the epoxy can act as a primer, but check the product label for specific surface-type instructions.

Can it be used outdoors?

This product is primarily formulated for indoor or covered environments; UV exposure from direct sunlight may cause colour degradation over time.

How do I clean the tools after use?

Since it is a water-based system, tools can be cleaned with warm soapy water immediately after application before the product starts to harden.

Is it slippery when wet?

Like most epoxy coatings, it can be slick when wet. For added safety in high-traffic areas, consider adding an anti-slip additive during the final coat.

Troubleshooting

The coating is not sticking to the concrete.

This is usually caused by damp or contaminated concrete. Ensure the surface is perfectly clean, dry, and etched/abraded before application.

The paint feels tacky and won't dry.

This indicates an incorrect mixing ratio of the two components. Always use a measuring jug to ensure precision.

Bubbles appearing during application.

This is often caused by 'outgassing' from porous concrete. Apply a thin primer coat or seal the floor to release trapped air before applying the final layer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to hot tyre pick-up
  • Suitable for both industrial and domestic use
  • Low odour allows for safer indoor application
  • Effectively eliminates concrete dusting
  • Easy to clean once fully cured

Cons

  • Requires professional-style preparation of concrete
  • Two-part systems necessitate precise measuring
  • Limited work life once the two parts are combined

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure your concrete floor is structurally sound, clean, and completely free of grease, oil, or loose debris. For bare concrete, a light mechanical abrading or acid etching is recommended to open the pores of the surface.

  1. Preparation: Clean the floor thoroughly and allow it to dry completely; moisture trapped beneath the epoxy can cause premature peeling.
  2. Mixing: Combine the two parts according to the manufacturer's ratio. Ensure thorough stirring to activate the curing process.
  3. Application: Use a high-quality roller for an even finish, maintaining a consistent wet edge to avoid overlapping lines.
  4. Curing: Keep the area well-ventilated. While it supports foot traffic in 24 hours at 15°C, allow a full cure (typically 7 days) before subjecting the floor to heavy machinery or parked vehicles to ensure maximum longevity.
