This Marl Coatings Polyurethane Floor Paint is designed for individuals and professionals seeking a durable, long-lasting protective coating for concrete, cement, stone, and previously painted floors. Its key benefit is offering high-performance abrasion resistance and a beautiful semi-gloss finish that is easy to maintain, ideal for high-traffic areas like garages, workshops, and industrial spaces. A potential caveat to consider is that it is an oil-based formula, which may require specific ventilation and cleanup procedures compared to water-based alternatives.

This paint is suitable for concrete, cement screed, stone, and previously painted floors. It is ideal for garages, workshops, factories, basements, and patios.
Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity. Generally, it will be touch-dry within a few hours, but recoating and full cure times will be longer. Always refer to the product's specific instructions for accurate drying times.
Yes, this paint is designed for easy application by roller or brush, making it suitable for both DIY users and professional tradespeople.
Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with a suitable solvent, such as white spirit or mineral turpentine, as recommended for oil-based paints.
While the paint offers superior adhesion, proper surface preparation is key. For bare, porous concrete, a dedicated concrete primer or sealer might improve adhesion and finish, especially in damp environments. Always consult the product's technical data sheet for specific priming recommendations.
The semi-gloss finish is designed to be hard-wearing, easy to clean, and resistant to colour fading over time. It provides a durable surface suitable for high-traffic areas.
Coverage can vary depending on the surface porosity and application thickness. A typical coverage rate for this type of floor paint is usually around 10-12 square meters per liter per coat. Always check the specific product label for precise coverage information.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, degreased, and dry. For bare concrete, etching or abrasion might be necessary. Ensure the previous coating was sound and lightly abraded if applicable.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply thinly and evenly, avoiding overworking the paint. Use a good quality brush or roller designed for oil-based paints. Ensure adequate lighting to see coverage.
Check the temperature; if too cold, the paint will be thicker. While the oil-based formula offers good flow, avoid thinning unless absolutely necessary and only with the recommended solvent, strictly following manufacturer guidelines. Ensure even strokes.
Ensure the area is well-ventilated. Oil-based paints naturally have a strong odor, which should dissipate over time. If the odor is excessive or persists for an extended period, ensure adequate drying and curing have occurred.
Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. For bare concrete, a light acid etching or mechanical abrading may be required to ensure optimal adhesion. If painting over existing paint, ensure it is sound and well-adhered; lightly abrading the surface is recommended.
Application: Apply using a good quality roller or brush suitable for solvent-based paints. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply in a well-ventilated area. Typically, two coats are recommended for best results, allowing adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer instructions.
Compatibility: Suitable for concrete, cement screed, stone, and previously painted floors. Not recommended for use on asphalt, rubber, or flexible vinyl flooring.
Care: Clean spills and dirt with a damp cloth or a mild detergent. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. For tougher stains, test a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure good ventilation when cleaning.
