How to paint, repaint and treat a concrete floor?
Call to actionWe recommend the Estovoss floor system. This consists of a G4 primer coat and a two-coat UV-resistant Estovoss Super finish. This is based on a one-component polyurethane. This is then extremely resistant to chemical products such as oil, fuels and fats.
Call to actionHow do I repaint a previously painted concrete substrate? And what if the adhesion of the current paint layer is still good?
Call to action- STEP 1: Clean the substrate. Remove oil and grease with a detergent or suitable solvent such as Dx cleaner. Remove all old paint. If the substrate has been cleaned with soap, carefully clean with soda.
- STEP 2: Sandblast the substrate.
- STEP 3: Remove all loose particles and dust, preferably with a hoover.
- STEP 4: Apply the primer as soon as possible to avoid the arrival of new loose particles of dirt and dust on the substrate.
How to repair and paint a concrete substrate that is full of holes and pits?
Call to action- STEP 1: Apply primer G4 to the substrate to be repaired
- STEP 2: Mix the epoxy BK with dry sand in a 1:4 ratio.
- STEP 3: Pour this mass into the holes and cavities.
How to prepare a porous concrete floor for painting?
Call to actionBefore applying the paint, the substrate must be dry. Measure with a humidity meter. Ideally, the humidity of the floor substrate should be less than 5%.
New concrete should be fully cured (wait 28 days before applying the paint.
Oil stains should be removed or cleaned. Be careful with oil or grease that has penetrated deep into the pores. This is usually difficult to remove. It is best to degrease and clean this a few times.
Call to actionHow do I prepare non-porous substrate, such as polished concrete, to be able to paint with a floor paint?
Call to actionBefore applying primer and paint, the substrate must be dry. Measure the humidity of the floor substrate (<5%). New concrete should be fully cured (wait 28 days before applying the paint). Oil stains should be removed or cleaned. Be careful with oil or grease that has penetrated deep into the pores. This is usually difficult to remove. It is best to degrease and clean this a few times. Apply a highly diluted primer coat. For this, read the processing information carefully.
Call to actionHow to dust and paint a concrete or garage floor?
Call to actionClean the substrate. Remove oil and grease with a detergent or suitable solvent such as DX cleaner. Remove all old paint. If the substrate was cleaned with soap, clean carefully with soda.
Remove all loose particles and dust, preferably with a hoover.
Use a primer and two coats of Estovoss floor paint system. This is an extremely hard-wearing, UV- and chemical-resistant floor paint that can be applied with a brush or a roller.
Call to actionHow to make a floor, stairway or loading area anti-slip and waterproof?
Call to actionUse a primer for the adhesion and work with an anti-slip granulate or Karburandum granule that you can mix into the floor paint Estovoss or coating. Suitable for renovating or repairing a floor that is too slippery or in the loading area of a pick-up or truck.
Call to actionHow do you protect marble floors, stone carpets or natural stone against UV?
Call to actionUse G8 Super. This is a high-gloss varnish and protective coating based on one component PUR. You can apply it to porous substrates such as kitchen work substrates and window sills.
If you want a matt substrate, finish with the Acryl 1K topcoat after the primer.
Call to actionHow do you treat a wet concrete floor or walls to be able to paint on?
Call to actionHere we recommend the 2-component Epoxy Primer Fast. This can be applied to damp substrates with a brush or roller. Also on a fresh concrete of 8 days to be painted over with a paint. Or work with a handy moisture-curing 1-component primer G4. You can also work on this with almost any paint.
Call to actionHow do you finish wear-resistant, waterproof and chemical-resistant floors of animal kennels and stables, so that they are resistant to urine and cleaning products?
Call to actionYou use a quick-drying epoxy primer and finish with a 2-component epoxy paint.
Call to actionHow do you stop rising damp in a cellar or concrete basement floor?
Call to actionYou use a quick drying Epoxy Primer and finish with a 2 component epoxy paint.
Or use the G4. Thin it with 50% PU thinner. Thanks to its unique penetrating power, it will even react on a still wet substrate and harden into an impenetrable layer.
Call to actionHow to waterproof the substrate of a terrace for tiling?
Call to actionHere we recommend a laminate consisting of two layers of AZUR liquid polyester resin in combination with a 300 g/m² glass mat. To improve the adhesion on the possibly damp substrate, apply primer G4. To make the polyester laminate waterproof on the top side, finish it with a TOPCOAT and sprinkle it with sand to improve the adhesion of the tile adhesive.
If you wish to work with an elastic coating, first apply primer G4 and then finish with Flexovoss K6T. Sand should also be sprinkled in this for tiling.
If you wish to paint the terrace, you apply the G4 primer and then finish with Estovoss, into which you may sprinkle anti-slip granules.
Call to actionApply the G8 here. Thin the first layer by 50% and apply two more layers undiluted with a brush or roller.
Call to actionHow to prevent stains on a urinal wall and protect against further penetration?
Call to actionHere we recommend applying G4 sealer in two to three layers. You can then paint or wallpaper over this. If necessary, you can dilute the first layer by 10% with PU Thinner.
Call to actionHow to seal a quartz carpet floor in a living room, kitchen or bathroom?
Call to actionHere you apply the liquid Epoxy resin BK. You can pour this on and it will fill all irregularities and holes. Then you can finish it off with a UV-resistant finishing coat of Urki Nato, which has a satin finish.
Call to actionHow to make a shower wall and floor in a wet room watertight before tiling?
Call to actionTo make concrete or screed watertight and then be able to tile on it, use Flexovoss K6T, a 2-component polyurethane coating that remains tough and elastic and has excellent waterproofing properties for tiling. On strongly absorbent substrates you must first apply primer G4.
Call to actionHow do you renovate a septic tank or a garage grease trap?
Call to actionApply the quick-drying Epoxy primer here and finish with the Epoxy Coating BN. This grey-coloured topcoat is solvent-free and is resistant to most dilute acids and alkalis. If you wish to obtain anti-slip, sprinkle anti-slip granules or Karburandum granules into the epoxy layer.
Call to actionHere you work with the Flexo Cast floor, based on 2-component Polyurethane. Available in various RAL colours. Can be finished with a UV-resistant final layer, glossy or satin, and if desired also with an anti-slip layer.
Call to actionHow to paint a ceramic tile floor, old tiles or smooth substrate?
Call to actionNot every tile is suitable for repainting just like that. We recommend always doing a test on a piece of the substrate. Contact us and we will be happy to inform you further whether you can work with primer G4 and finish with Estovoss.
Sometimes it is better to work with the 2-component Epoxy Light Primer provided that 20% of the Epoxy Thinner is added. Then you can finish with a two-pack varnish or paint Urki Voc or Urki Nato.
