What is the typical VOC content of water-based floor paint?
Standard acrylic floor paint in this range is capped at around 91 g/L of VOCs. Our anti-slip acrylic formula is even lower at about 41 g/L, and our water-based epoxy options contain under 10 g/L—well within UK and EU environmental limits.
How much coverage can I expect from water-based floor paint?
Coverage varies by product: standard acrylic coatings typically cover around 11 m² per litre at the recommended film thickness, anti-slip finishes cover 8–10 m² per litre, and heavier water-based epoxy systems deliver around 6–10 m² per kilo, offering excellent economy.
What drying and recoat times apply in UK conditions?
Acrylic floor paint dries to touch in about 1½ hours with a 6 hour recoat window. Aggregated water-based anti-slip floor paint is touch-dry in 1 hour and ready for recoat after 6 hours. Water-based epoxy floor paint systems accept light traffic in 8–12 hours, recoat in 16 hours, and reach full strength in 5–7 days.
How should I prepare my floor before applying water-based floor paint?
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and grease-free. Power-floated concrete should be abraded or acid-etched; wood and metal require suitable primers. Remove any loose paint or contaminants. Certain anti-slip floor paint options need a thinned primer coat first, while standard acrylic floor paint bonds well to properly prepared substrates without thinning.
Can water-based floor paint be used outdoors in the UK climate?
Yes—our UV-stable water-based anti-slip and acrylic coatings withstand rain, frost and sunlight, making them ideal for external ramps, steps and loading areas when applied over a compatible primer.
How can I enhance grip or refresh an existing water-based floor paint surface?
Broadcast clear or coloured aggregate from our anti-slip accessories into wet paint or apply self-adhesive anti-slip tapes for instant traction. To refresh sheen, clean thoroughly and roll on a thin maintenance coat of acrylic floor paint—saving time and avoiding full re-coats.
