FAQs
What surfaces can I use Siramico Durable Floor Paint on?
This paint is suitable for bare concrete, stone, brick, and untreated wood surfaces. For other materials or for enhanced durability, a primer may be recommended.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint dries to touch in 1-4 hours at 20°C. However, full curing and the ability to withstand heavy traffic may take 24-48 hours or longer depending on conditions.
Is this paint safe for indoor use?
Yes, it is a water-based, non-toxic formula with no VOCs and no odor, making it safe for use indoors.
Do I need a primer?
While not always mandatory for porous surfaces like concrete, a primer is recommended for non-porous surfaces, highly porous materials, or when maximum adhesion and durability are desired.
How do I clean the painted floor?
Clean with a damp cloth or a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals.
Can I use this paint on exterior surfaces?
The product is designed for durability and protection, but its primary testing and recommendation are for interior floors. For exterior use, consult the manufacturer's guidelines or test in an inconspicuous area.
What is the coverage rate?
Coverage can vary depending on the surface porosity and application thickness, but typically one 5L can covers approximately 10-12 square meters per coat.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well or peeling.
The surface was not properly prepared. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free of contaminants. For concrete, consider etching or priming. Ensure no moisture is trapped beneath the surface.
Uneven color or finish.
Inconsistent application or insufficient stirring. Ensure paint is thoroughly mixed before and during use. Apply in thin, even coats, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks.
Slow drying time.
Low temperatures or high humidity can significantly slow drying. Ensure application and drying occur within the recommended temperature range (above 10°C) and humidity levels. Adequate ventilation can help.
Bubbles or blisters forming.
This can occur if the surface is damp or if applied too thickly. Ensure the surface is completely dry before painting. Apply in thin coats and allow proper drying between coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation is Key: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, oil, and loose material. For best adhesion on concrete and stone, etch the surface with an acid-etch solution or use a wire brush, then rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely. For wood, ensure it is clean and dry; sanding may be beneficial for a smoother finish.
Compatibility: This paint is ideal for bare concrete, stone, brick, and untreated wood. For non-porous surfaces or to enhance adhesion on challenging materials, a suitable primer is recommended.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. For best results, apply in thin, even coats. Avoid applying in excessively cold (<10°C) or humid conditions. Recoat after 1-4 hours at 20°C.
Care: Clean spills immediately. For regular cleaning, use a damp cloth or a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the coating. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying.
