A: Hi, I am afraid we dont sell the comonents seperately. The resin and coloured curing agent are measured to work together in exact qunatities and we can only supply them together, as a single unit. I am sorry.

A: After the 2nd coat has been applied - our Epoxy Floor Paint can be walked on after approx. 16-24 hours. We recommend allowing 2-3 days before regular use such as vehicle movement.

A: Hi, we dont recommend this ocating for use externally, as it is not UV resistant. It would be fine to be applied in reasonably warm and dry conditions externally, but if exposed to sunligt it can change colour. This is more common with the pale shades, like light grey. However, if you are simply looking ot get the coating down and then it will be covered soon after by the garage structure it may not be problem.

A: Hi, it really depends on the drying time of the concrete you used. There are rapid drying version and others with additives or different mixes which may impact this (if you used a builder to lay it, they may offer some guidance on this). 
Before painting, we would recommend the concrete has a mositure content of less than 5% (almost completely dry) as a rough rule of thumb, for normal concrete, we use an estimate of 1 day drying for every millimetre in depth. Hope this helps.
If you simply cannot wait for it to dry fully, you can source paintable epoxy damp proof membrane products to retain the mositure in the slab which can then be painted with our coating, but this would likely increase costs significnatly and please call us to check whether our product can be used in conjunction with any other products before going ahead.

A: Hi, I am sorry but i would not recommend applying thisto cermaic tiles. Most tiles are non-porous meaning the paints cannot soak in and bond correctly. Although it may appear to stick well, im afraid it is not usually the case when you need to walk on it etc. Sorry.

A: Hi, you can use this over a pre painted surface. We would recommend giving the floor a good clean and snading it back to ensure you remove any loose/flaking paint. This will also ensure that any remaining well bonded paint has a 'key' for our coating to bond to. Then you can paint over with our coatings.

A: Hi, our epoxy floor paint is a water based epoxy paint. I am afraid i would not recommend using it in this way. A solvent based product would be more suited to timber to allow for a little flexibility.

A: Hi, our epoxy floor paint can be used to over coat previous floor paints provided it is fully cured and well bonded. We would recommend abrading (sanding) the surface you have to ensure any loose material is removed and to get a 'key' to the remaining coating. This would give our product the best texture to bond to the existing coating. Once cleaned and abraded you can simply paint over with our coating.

A: Hi, it would take a longer longer to dry at 5 degrees. However, please keep in mind that air temperature of 5 degrees means the floor is likely much colder and possible below zero.. The paint has a water components and therefore needs to dry out and should be applied if it could freeze.

A: Hi,

I am sorry but we currently only offer our paints in a gloss finish.
 
Kind Regards,

Michael

A: Hi,

The Epoxy Floor Paint is mixed in a 4:1 ratio (when buying 5L you would receive 4L of coloured curing agent and 1L of resin)

We don't usually recommend part mixing, but if you ensure you keep the ratios the same it should work fine.

Alternatively, we do sell this in 2.5L options.

Kind Regards,
Michael

A: Hi Bob,

Thank you for your interest in our product. I do believe the coating would be a good option for a decorative finish. Once fully cured there is unlikely to be any problem with water spilt on the surface, though standing/pooling water could cause the surface to discolour.

However, any water rising from the surface below could cuase the paint to be pushed from the surface. Although it is a hard wearing epoxy product and it is likely, with a textured surface to achieve a strong bond, the rising water could still be a problem as this causes pressure below the coating.

I am afraid i would recommend finding a DPM product to apply first. This can be an epoxy damp proof membrane or paintable style coating rather than a traditional DPM system. Provided our water based epoxy coating can be painted on top, this woud still be a very practical solution.

Kind Regards,
Michael

A: We are often cautious with screeds because of the amount of different screeds and some are not directly trafficable or able to be painted. If the screed does state ok to paint and be directly trafficked and is porous, then the water based Epoxy Floor Paint will be suitable as long as clean, dry and sound.

A: The Epoxy Floor Paint is only suitable for internal concrete so this wouldn’t be suitable.

If the concrete isn’t too patterned then you could use the Car Park Paint https://www.floorsaver.co.uk/collections/exterior-paint/products/car-park-paint?variant=1224564211730 however if the concrete is heavily patterned you would just need to be careful and make sure the paint doesn’t pool where its indented.

A: Hi, our Epoxy FLoor Paint is a gloss finish. I am afraid we dont carry other finishes, only the gloss. If you have 37m2 and decided to use our gloss coating, you would need x2 Cleaner & Degreaser and 2 x 5L + 2 x 2.5L of Epoxy Floor Paint

A: The Epoxy Floor Paint Anti Slip covers 30m2 per 5L per coat & two coats required.

A: This coating would be suitable, provided the surface would accept a water based paint coating. There is no concern with the under floor heating, though I would leave it off or on a low and constant setting during application and for the first few days. This will allow the product to cure consistently.

If you are able, it would be best to check with the screed manufacturer to ensure their surface can be painted.

A: Hi, this coating is a water based two pack epoxy, although it can be used on bitumen based surfaces, like asphalt, it is only recommended once the asphalt is at least 6 months old. This is to ensure the solvents in the dpm have 'disappeard' from the surface and the product is dry throughout. The coating would normally require a level of texture and small amount of porosity to bond well, which is unlikely in a newly laid DPM.

I would suggest allowing the DPM to completely cure before abrading the surface to create a key, then applying this system. However, given it is a bitumen based product, it may be a good idea to speak with the manufacturer to ensure they are happy for you to coat their product with a water based epoxy and also for further clarification on timescales involved.

A: Hi, when using a primer you may only require one top coat to achieve a cosmetically pleasing finish but only if the surface is not particularly porous. We do however recommend 2 coats to achieve full strength and if the substrate is porous 2 coats will stop it looking patchy.  Do take a look at our data sheet as it covers preparation, application, curing times, etc which you may find helpful.

A: The proportions need to be very accurate or else the product may not go off or perform as it should do.  You can part mix by volume, but unless you are spot on you could run into difficulties.  It would be best to purchase 2 x 2.5L to avoid taking that risk.

A: We do not recommend our products going over self levelling compounds.  However, some manufacturers say that they can be painted, so it's best to speak to Sika and ask them. They may say that a two part, water based epoxy resin can be used, if this is the case then ours would fit the bill but we couldn't guarantee anything.

The problem with self levellers is that they are generally used as base for laying carpet, wood, vinyl or tiles over, they are not usually strong enough to traffic directly, therefore if you paint them the leveller would break up taking the paint off with it.  Also, paint doesn't tend to bond that well to self levellers - sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

A: Rising damp can be a bit tricky so it's probably best if we have a chat about this over the phone.  When you have a minute please can you call us on 0345 450 9888 and we can take it from there? I hope to hear from you soon.
