When it comes to painting floors, finding the perfect product and process can often be a daunting prospect, especially for smaller contractors. It’s not just the scale of the project; choosing the right product is crucial, regardless of project size. Key challenges may include indoor or outdoor floor; expected traffic (light, medium or heavy) and the existing floor and coating and how it was originally installed.
To simplify this process, Manchester-based HMG Paints has developed a new, straightforward Floor Paint Guide. This guide is the latest in HMG’s ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive support and expert advice to the building and decorating trades.
“We have 95 years’ experience within the paint industry, and this brochure is designed to help anyone who is looking to paint their floor” says James Burton of HMG Paints “Whether it be a domestic garage to aircraft hangar, workshop to sports arena, making the selection and preparation process easy to understand is our main aim, and if required we are always happy to discuss individual projects.”
With the Floor Paint Guide, HMG make choosing the right product easy with three distinct coatings; HydroPro Floor Paint, Polyurethane Floor Paint, and 2K Epoxy Floor Paint, and the guide conveniently provides a handy at-a-glance reference as to the properties and ideal applications of each.
The guide also helps to inform merchants, contractors and professionals on the key considerations before taking on a floor painting project. These considerations include Is it new or old concrete, if new, is it power floated? If an existing floor, has it been painted previously? Once all this is considered the correct product can easily by identified.
For example, if you require a low VOC, water-based product for light to medium traffic then HydroPro Floor Paint would be the perfect solution. As a user-friendly, water-based, single pack solution HydroPro Floor Paint is ideal for both interior and exterior application.
For similar light to medium traffic environments, HMG also offer a solvent-based alternative in their Polyurethane Floor Paint. This solution provides users with an economical yet hard-wearing finish, guaranteeing a touch dry finish in around 1 to 2 hours.
For heavy industrial use, such as busy warehouses and manufacturing facilities, HMG’s 2K Epoxy HD Floor Paint stands out as the recommended choice. This solvent-based, two-pack epoxy system has been formulated to offer high resistance and create a surface that is capable of withstanding demanding conditions.
When it comes to colour HMG also has you covered with the floor paint range being available in 9 stock colours including a variety of greys, a yellow ideal for floor markings and blue or green for walkways. Should your project require a specific colour shade HMG can also produce its products in BS, RAL and other popular colour ranges in batch quantities.
So, if you’re after advice on preparation and application or need to quickly find the perfect product for your project then HMG has you covered when it comes to floor paints. The guide is available in merchants across the country or can be downloaded from shop.hmgpaint.com
