Coo-Var Guardcoat Antibacterial Floor & Wall Paint

by Coo-Var

Coo-Var Guardcoat Antibacterial Floor & Wall Paint wraps your floors and walls in a silver-ion shield that stops bacteria breeding on contact and helps you meet strict hygiene regulations. Healthier spaces cut sickness, boost customer confidence, lift hygiene rating scores and save you the cost and hassle of specialist deep cleans. Backed by over 115 years of British paint innovation, it’s arguably the best hygiene coating money can buy. Because its low odour, water thinnable two pack epoxy applies during working hours and withstands heavy traffic for years, no rival offers the same mix of protection, durability and business as usual convenience.

Key Benefits

  • Bacteria Free Hygiene – Silver-ion technology keeps surfaces up to 99.9 % germ-free, supporting regulatory compliance and higher hygiene ratings.
  • Healthier, Happier Teams – Cleaner air and cleaner touch points reduce sick days and raise morale, driving productivity and profit.
  • Low Odour Working – Water based chemistry means you can coat during trading hours without shutting doors or evacuating areas.
  • Armour Like Epoxy – Tough off gloss film resists forklifts, trolleys and cleaning chemicals, extending floor and wall life.
  • Long Term Savings – One 5 kg unit covers up to 50 m², slashing future maintenance, repaint and deep clean bills.

Ready mixed packs make application simple, add to basket before midday for next day UK delivery, buy today, paint tomorrow and enjoy certified germ-safe surfaces immediately.
