Q. I have a new Concrete Floor. How soon can I paint it and which of your products would I use.
A. We have deveoped a product which can be used on new concrete after only 12 days of curing. This is our Damp Proof Membrane which combines with the H2O molecules in the concrete to make a bond so that subsequent coats of paint can be applied without fear of seperation.
This can now be followed by Our High Build Range of Epoxy Paints and Anti Slip range.
Q. Will your paint go over floor Tiles.
A. Yes but if the tiles are glazed the glaze will have to be removed by sanding or other abrasive technique before applying an Epoxy Primer followed by one or two coats of Epoxy Resin Paint.
If you want to cover the tiles and get a smooth finish.-Abrade the tiles as before, apply a coat of Epoxy Resin and scatter with kiln dried sand, let it cure, brush off the access sand and apply at least 5-10mm or more of Cementitious Self Leveling Compond.
One dry apply an Epoxy Primer followed by Epoxy High Build or non slip in your chosen colour.
