Reimagining your home’s floors
The days of choosing between hardwoods, laminates or tiles is long gone. These are all viable options, sure, but now you can turn concrete floors into elegant flooring solutions with the help of specially developed floor coatings from trusted paint manufacturers.
The age-old question has changed from “can I paint my concrete floors?” to “why not?” It makes for a beautiful aesthetic in a space while not spending a fortune on a flooring solution like tiles or hardwood.
The options that painting a concrete floor opens up are seemingly endless. You can opt to use this in your garage that you have upscaled into a gym or art studio. The floor coating breathes new life into a space, and this is not limited to spaces that already have a concrete base like the garage or driveway. You can revamp your kitchen, lounge and bedrooms with a floor coating from Paintcor.
These trusted paint manufacturers in South Africa have developed Terrafirma, a floor coating which is ideal for a garage or driveway (with special thanks to its resistance to UV rays and hot tires). However, its resistance to sun and anti-slip surfaces mean that it can work both indoors and outdoors. What if you choose to create a modern kitchen with concrete flooring but want to add some colour? Terrafirma is the answer to creating a bright and functional space that will impress guests and last for years to come.
Painting floors with Terrafirma coating
Because of Terrafirma’s quick-drying nature you need to be sure your surface has been properly prepped. The following describes how to prepare brick or paving for a coat of Terrafirma paint:
The first step is to degrease the surface, if necessary, as well as removing all dirt and tyre grit. Then rinse it well and allow sufficient time to dry, which shouldn’t take long at all on a sunny day. Once the surface is clean and dry you can apply Terrafirma that has been diluted with 20% water to the entire paving’s surface. Once this has dried, in about an hour, you can proceed to apply a second coat of undiluted Terrafirma. Note that while waiting for the first layer to dry you should always close the bucket of paint or a layer of paint skin will form on the top of the paint.
