How to Use Concrete Floor Paint for Phenomenal Floor Protection and Finish

Creative-Resins / January 18, 2021

Using concrete floor paint in your floor painting endeavors is often the last thing on everyone’s mind when giving an attractive and formidable finish to a commercial or residential building. However, we cannot stress enough how important it is to cover your floor with a strong paint product.

Floor paints are especially useful when painting floors for a commercial building. Commercial spaces usually experience more traffic such as the movement of heavy machinery and groups of people. This can eventually cause wear and tear leading to damage such as cracks and chipping.

So not only is the use of concrete floor paint products necessary but the current evolution of floor coating techniques makes it a mandatory practice. It is highly recommended to indulge in a tad bit of research to find the best concrete floor paint for you, a paint product that is both the best fit for your floor with long term exterior guarantees as well as being reasonably priced.

So without further ado, we at Creative Resins would like to emphasize the importance of concrete floor paint, how you too can use it appropriately, and finally leave you with a recommendation of our own that is bound to give you a high-quality floor painting product.

1 – Reasons to Use Concrete Floor Paint

Starting with the most obvious, your floor needs protection just like every other surface in your house, office or factory. Paint is particularly more imperative for floor protection than anything else. A strong surface coating that can tolerate high traffic areas is your ideal option when it comes to a concrete floor paint product. With high-quality paint, you ensure your floor remains impervious to damage from the constant movement of heavy machinery and foot fall which is quite typical in commercial settings.

2 – Ensures Safety

Well applied floor paint will not only protect your floors but can also help to protect the manpower working in your commercial space. Floor coatings can be used to highlight spaces in the area which are not safe. The paint can also have special anti-slip properties which is paramount for health and safety in certain locations. Bright colours and even fluorescent paints help keep people where they are supposed to be. Plus a high gloss floor coating can also help light up an area pretty well thanks to its ability to reflect light. A perfectly coated floor can also help in preventing accidental slips and trips.

4 – Attractiveness

Protection isn’t the only goal when painting a floor. Floor paint can also be used to implement a catchy design or cover the floor in an attractive blend of colours creating a spectacular theme yet still providing durability, safety and anti-slip properties if required. Hiring an experienced painter can help to achieve this or it’s relatively easy to do yourself.  If you make a mistake or don’t like the end result just paint it again.

5 – Easy to Clean

Using the best quality concrete floor paints will help you to create a surface that is considerably easier to clean than before. You can seamlessly and evenly coat your floor with an epoxy-based paint  that free flows to make sure your floor surface is smooth enough for easy occasional cleaning.

How to Use Concrete Floor Paint Yourself.

The paints are designed to apply easily and usually offer great coverage. Anyone with some basic DIY skills can get achieve a very professional finish. Here are a few key steps that will help you achieve those results.

1 – Primer

It is incredibly important to make sure your floor is completely dry before you proceed you’re your final paint coating. If it is newly laid (sometimes referred to as Green Concrete) then it should be allowed to fully cure before doing any painting. When its fully cured we highly recommend using a sealing primer paint first which will act as a moisture barrier as well as preventing concrete dust. These concrete sealing paints are water based and environmentally friendly with very low VOC’s.

2 – Prepare the Floor

 If the floor has been previously painted make sure that any loose or peeling paint is removed. This is best achieved by sanding the floor areas to remove any old paint residue leaving a smooth surface ready for painting.

3 – Fill Holes

If your floor exhibits cracks and holes, use a concrete filling compound to repair them. You can use a trowel to push them deep into any depressions you witness on the floor. Once done, leave it alone to dry. You can skip right ahead to the next part if you are lucky enough to have an even smooth floor.

5 – Apply Concrete Floor Paint

Using a paint roller is probably the easiest method of painting a floor.  Its quick and simple and doesn’t require any special skills.  Apply two coats of your desired concrete floor paint. Let it dry between coats according to the manufacturer’s instructions.  Just like that, you have successfully applied concrete floor paint to your desired floor surface.
