FAQs

How long does it take for the paint to fully cure?

Full cure typically takes 7 days, though recoating is usually possible after 16-24 hours depending on conditions. Avoid heavy traffic and cleaning for the first week.

Can I use this paint on wooden floors?

This product is specifically designed for concrete and masonry surfaces. It is not recommended for use on wood.

What is the best way to clean my newly painted floor?

For the first week, use only a damp cloth. After the full cure, you can use a mild detergent solution with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

Yes, it is suitable for patios and other exterior concrete surfaces, offering protection and durability. Ensure proper application and curing.

How many coats should I apply?

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and durability. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.

What solvents are recommended for cleanup?

Mineral spirits or white spirit are recommended for cleaning brushes, rollers, and any spills immediately after application.

Can I paint over an existing floor paint?

Yes, provided the existing paint is sound, well-adhered, and clean. Lightly abrading the surface can improve adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering properly

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and dry before application. Re-prepare the surface by etching or lightly sanding, and reapply following proper procedures.

Uneven finish or roller marks

Apply paint with a consistent technique, avoiding overworking. Ensure even pressure and overlap. Allow adequate drying time between coats if necessary, and ensure the paint is properly stirred.

Slow drying time

Ensure application is within the recommended temperature range (10-25°C) and humidity levels are not excessively high. Avoid applying thick coats.

Paint bubbling during application

This can be caused by applying to a hot surface or inadequate ventilation. Ensure the surface is cool and the area is well-ventilated. Do not apply in direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and dust. For optimal adhesion, lightly abrade or etch concrete surfaces if necessary. Ensure any previous coatings are sound and well-adhered.

Application: Apply using a good quality synthetic roller or brush. Work in sections, applying an even coat. Avoid over-application. For best results, apply in a well-ventilated area at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C.

Compatibility: Suitable for bare concrete, cement screed, stone, and previously painted surfaces in good condition. Not recommended for use on asphalt or surfaces that may be subject to excessive flexing.

Care: Clean spills immediately with a suitable solvent (e.g., white spirit). For general cleaning, use a damp cloth or a mild detergent solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, especially in the initial curing period.
