Description
Heavy duty polyurethane floor paint for garages, workshops and warehouses
If you run vehicles, pallet trucks or forklifts over bare concrete, you already know what it costs you: dust on stock, stains that never lift and a floor that takes an age to mop. This semi-gloss polyurethane coating seals that concrete and gives you a hard, wipe-clean surface in any of 16 RAL colours. There is no hardener to measure, and it comes in 5, 10, 20 and 205 litre packs, so it suits a home garage as well as a whole warehouse. Once the floor is prepared, the job is two thin coats from a standard roller with a day between them.
Why it works
Made for wheels and stacked loads. The film is formulated to take abrasion from forklifts, pallet trucks, cars and 4x4s, plus the static load of stacked pallets and equipment. The slab still has to be sound enough to carry that weight, because the paint protects concrete rather than strengthening a failed floor.
Stands up to workshop spills. It resists water, oils, cutting agents, mild acid cleaners, wheel and brake cleaners, coolant, brake fluid and some fuels, provided you wipe them up rather than leave them to soak in. Bleach and antibacterial floor soap are fine for routine cleaning.
Less dust, faster cleaning. Dirt struggles to grip the cured surface, so mopping takes less time and less dust settles on stock.
Semi-gloss on purpose. A high-gloss floor brings a higher slip hazard, so this one stops at semi-gloss. A slip rating is not published for this line, so assess ramps and wet areas separately.
Where it's used
Home garages and vehicle workshops, tyre bays, van depots, warehouse aisles and racking zones, factory walkways, engineering shops, plant rooms, farm workshops, joinery shops and stockrooms. It also takes on brick, stone, metal and wood. Use contrasting colours to mark walkways, parking bays and forklift routes. Home users usually start with 5 or 10 litres, while contractors and facilities teams buy 20 litre tins and 205 litre drums for larger floors.

Choosing the right option
Size: multiply your floor area by two coats, then divide by 10. A 40 m² double garage needs 8 litres, so buy 10. A 500 m² unit needs 100 litres, which is five 20 litre tins. Around 1,000 m² is where the 205 litre drum makes sense. Rough or porous concrete takes more.
Colour: greys hide tyre marks and dust best, while white and cream brighten a dark unit but show dirt sooner. Shade can vary between batches, so order the whole job together and note the batch code on the lid.
Pre Seal: add this primer if the floor is dusty, has never been painted or has been contaminated. It is an undercoat, not a clear finish, and must always be overcoated.
Installation, use and care
Run three checks first. New concrete needs at least 12 weeks to cure. Tape a 30 x 30 cm plastic sheet to the floor for 24 hours, and if moisture appears, deal with the damp before coating. Then pour on a little water: if it puddles, acid etch or abrade the floor. Repair cracks and holes, steam clean oily areas and let them dry. Apply Pre Seal if needed and wait until it is tack free, 12 to 24 hours. Mix thoroughly with a drill paddle, then roll two thin coats. Ventilate well and keep naked flames away.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an epoxy floor paint?
No. It is a polyurethane with no hardener, so there is nothing to mix in and no pot life to watch. If your specification calls for a two-pack epoxy system, this is not that product.
Can I paint on Saturday and use the floor on Monday?
Only with care. At 15°C it is touch dry in 10 hours and dry through after 24, and you should keep off for three days where possible. Work in sections if the area has to stay open. Cold air and thick coats slow it down.
Will it stick to my power-floated floor or screed?
Yes, once you have acid etched or abraded it. Smooth, shiny concrete gives the paint nothing to grip, which is why the water test matters.
Is it waterproof, and will it fill cracks?
No to both. It will not stop rising damp and may only bridge very fine cracks, so damp-proof and fill first. External use is not published for this line, so ask before buying.
Ordering and delivery
Choose your colour, then your size. Orders ship by express delivery across the UK, and the courier needs a contact number at checkout. Northern Ireland, Highlands and islands can take longer, so call 01744 520 110 first. A 20 litre order may arrive as smaller tins totalling 20 litres. Safety data and COSHH sheets are available on request.
