Why choose concrete paint?
Safety: Walking on a slippery surface outside is never fun. It’s not safe either. A coat of concrete paint can easily take care of that problem for you thanks to its special slip-resistant properties. Fall-proof your driveway or walkway in no time at all.
Durability: Whether it’s dirt or difficult weather conditions, concrete and paving paints are an effective, and more importantly extremely durable, solution. Regular cleaning and removing dust and dirt can help it last much longer and saves a lot of trouble in the long run.
Hassle-free maintenance: Cleaning untreated concrete can be quite a challenge – anyone who’s tried it even once can vouch for that. Just one layer of coating is enough to make it that much easier and prolong the effect in the process.
FAQs
What is concrete paint?
Concrete or paving paints are nothing more than specialised types of coatings designed specifically for concrete surfaces.
What is the difference between concrete or paving paint and a sealer?
They have different jobs to do. That’s why the first type is a coating that simply adheres to the very top of a concrete surface, which creates a barrier to protect it. Normally, these are much thicker than a sealer. A concrete sealer, on the other hand, mostly gets into the concrete leaving only minimal film on top of its surface.
What are the benefits?
It provides protection from dirt, cracking and various weather conditions and an overall more aesthetically-pleasing look. It also masks signs of wear and tear as well as discolouration.
How do I know the surface is clean enough to apply the coating?
So, you’re done with the cleaning process with water, active clean and – in some cases – active etch. What if you’re still not sure if the surface is clean enough to get on with your project? You can use a simple trick – pick up a piece of adhesive tape and press it against the surface. If it’s clean, you’re good to go but if you notice any particles, it’s better to spend a little more time to make sure it’s ready.
Okay, I applied the coating – when can I walk on it or park my car?
That depends on the specific product, but generally speaking, you can start walking on it after about 24 hours (sometimes after only 2). For cars, it can be even up to 7 days. The safest route is to consult a product data sheet to make sure your project doesn’t get ruined on the home stretch.
