Beginners guide to painting your floor
Floor Paint guide for beginners
Floor paints are used predominantly in the industrial sector, for example on a warehouse / factory floor. They may also be used at home for garage floors and sometimes other internal concrete floors. We advise that all our products are for professional use, however, we’ve broken down the process and explained the different options available below:
Process:
- Clean floor thoroughly
- Fill cracks / holes
- Ensure surface is clean, smooth and dry
- Apply primer (if required)
- Apply floor paint
Products:
– Primer / Adhesion Promoter (required on new unpainted floors)
The primer coat can be the most important in the painting process. A primer or adhesion promoter is a preparatory coat especially to prevent the absorption of subsequent layers of paint. Get in touch with us if you’d like more information on what would be suitable for your job.
