Professional Application Guide
- Surface Preparation (Critical for Showroom Finish): Remove all oil, grease, dirt, laitance, and contamination. Concrete must be fully cured (minimum 28 days), dry (<4% moisture), and perfectly smooth. Shot-blast, grind, or diamond-polish to achieve CSP-2 profile for showroom-quality finish. Any surface imperfections will be visible through high-gloss coating.
- Surface Levelling: Fill cracks, spalls, and imperfections with self-levelling epoxy filler. Sand smooth and flush with surrounding concrete. For showroom applications, consider self-levelling overlay for perfectly flat substrate.
- Priming (Mandatory for Showroom Finish): Apply Floor Pre-Seal primer to all concrete substrates. Primer seals surface, improves adhesion, reduces coating absorption, and ensures uniform gloss. Allow 4-6 hours cure before topcoat application.
- Mixing: Stir thoroughly for 2-3 minutes before use and periodically during application. Do not thin – formulated for optimal flow and levelling to achieve showroom-quality finish.
- First Coat Application: Apply by brush (fine synthetic bristle), roller (6-8mm microfibre for smooth finish), or airless spray (0.015-0.019" tip, 2000-2500 PSI). Apply thin, even coat. Avoid overworking. Maintain wet edge. Work in good lighting to identify any thin areas.
- Second Coat Application: After 12-16 hours, lightly sand first coat with 220-grit paper to remove any dust nibs or imperfections. Vacuum thoroughly. Apply second coat perpendicular to first coat direction for optimal gloss and coverage. Ensure dust-free environment for showroom finish.
- Curing & Protection: Maintain excellent ventilation and dust-free environment. Protect from moisture, dust, and traffic for 16 hours minimum. Avoid light traffic for 24 hours. No heavy use for 5 days. Temperature and humidity significantly affect gloss and cure – maintain 18-22°C for optimal results.

Coverage & Pack Size Guide
| Floor Area | 10L Coverage | Application |
|---|---|---|
| 40-50 m² | 2 coats (recommended) | Small showroom or workshop |
| 80-100 m² | 1 coat | Medium showroom (with primer + 1 topcoat) |
| 25-30 m² | 3 coats | Premium finish or porous substrates |
Coverage varies with substrate porosity and smoothness. Rough or porous concrete reduces coverage by 30-40%. For showroom applications, calculate 8 m²/L conservative coverage. Always purchase 15% extra for wastage and touch-ups.

UV Stability: Will not yellow in sunlight – critical for showrooms with natural light, skylights, or large windows. Maintains true colour for 8-12 years.
Abrasion Resistance: Taber CS17 wear index <70mg – excellent performance for showroom and light industrial use per BS 8204 requirements.
Adhesion Strength: >2.0 MPa pull-off strength (concrete failure) when applied to properly prepared substrates per BS EN 1542.
Chemical Resistance: Resistant to oils, fuels, mild solvents, and common cleaning agents per BS EN ISO 2812-2. Not suitable for concentrated acids or harsh industrial chemicals.

Why PU150 for Showrooms & Factories?
PU150 bridges the gap between aesthetic appeal and industrial durability – the ideal choice when appearance matters as much as performance:
- Showroom Aesthetic: High-gloss finish creates professional, premium appearance that enhances brand image and impresses customers
- UV Stability: Unlike epoxy coatings, PU150 will not yellow in showrooms with natural light – maintains appearance for years
- Faster Cure: 24-hour light traffic vs 48-72 hours for epoxy – reduces showroom downtime and accelerates project completion
- Easy Application: Single-pack system (no mixing) simplifies application and reduces errors vs two-pack epoxy
- Cost-Effective: 10L pack size ideal for small to medium showrooms – no waste from oversized 20L tins
- Proven Performance: Trusted by automotive dealerships and premium retailers across the UK for 10+ years
Maintenance & Longevity
Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum daily to remove abrasive dirt. Damp mop with pH-neutral cleaner weekly. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners. For showrooms, consider professional cleaning quarterly to maintain gloss.
Expected Lifespan: 8-12 years in showroom environments with proper maintenance. 5-8 years in light industrial or commercial garage use. 12+ years in low-traffic retail or office applications.
Gloss Maintenance: Gloss will gradually reduce over time due to micro-abrasion. Periodic buffing or recoating (every 5-7 years) restores showroom appearance. Light sanding and single recoat refreshes finish without full removal.
Damage Repair: Localised damage can be repaired by sanding damaged area, feathering edges, and applying 1-2 repair coats. Colour and gloss matching may be challenging – keep spare material for touch-ups.

Performance Guarantee: 8-year durability and gloss retention guarantee when applied to properly prepared substrates in accordance with technical data sheet by competent applicator.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes PU150 suitable for showrooms?
- PU150 delivers a high-gloss, showroom-quality finish (80-90 gloss units) that creates a professional, premium appearance. Unlike epoxy coatings, it won't yellow in natural light, maintaining its aesthetic appeal for 8-12 years. The smooth, reflective surface enhances lighting and creates a spacious, clean environment perfect for displaying vehicles or products.
- How does PU150 compare to epoxy floor paint?
- PU150 offers superior UV resistance (won't yellow in sunlight), faster cure times (24hr vs 48-72hr), easier application (single-pack, no mixing), and better flexibility. Epoxy offers slightly better chemical resistance but yellows in showrooms with natural light. For automotive showrooms and customer-facing areas, PU150 is the better choice.
- Can I achieve a mirror-like finish with PU150?
- Yes, with proper substrate preparation and application technique. The substrate must be perfectly smooth (diamond-polished or self-levelled concrete). Apply thin, even coats in dust-free environment. Use microfibre roller or spray application. Light sanding between coats removes imperfections. The result is a high-gloss, reflective finish approaching mirror quality.
- How long before we can open the showroom after application?
- Light foot traffic: 16 hours. Light vehicle traffic (cars driving in): 24 hours. Full showroom operations: 48 hours. Maximum hardness and chemical resistance: 5 days. Plan application over weekend or during closure periods. Faster cure than epoxy systems minimises business disruption.
- Will the coating show tyre marks from vehicles?
- PU150 is resistant to tyre marking, but some marking may occur with hot tyres or aggressive turning on the coating. Regular cleaning removes most marks. For showrooms with frequent vehicle movement, consider mid-grey or darker colours which hide marks better than white or light grey.
- What's the best colour for an automotive showroom?
- Light grey and mid grey are most popular – they create bright, spacious feel, complement most vehicle colours, and hide minor dirt and tyre marks. White creates ultra-modern, clean aesthetic but shows marks more readily. Dark grey or black creates luxury, high-end feel but requires more frequent cleaning to maintain appearance.
- Can I apply this over existing showroom floor coating?
- Yes, if the existing coating is sound, well-adhered polyurethane or epoxy. Thoroughly clean and sand with 120-180 grit to provide mechanical key. Test a small area first (1m²) and allow 5 days to verify adhesion and gloss match. For critical showroom applications, consider full removal and fresh application for best results.
- How do I maintain the high-gloss finish?
- Daily sweeping or vacuuming to remove abrasive grit. Weekly damp mopping with pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For showrooms, consider professional cleaning quarterly with auto-scrubber and neutral cleaner. Periodic buffing or light recoating (every 5-7 years) maintains showroom appearance.
- Is 10L enough for my showroom?
- 10L covers 40-50 m² with 2 coats (recommended). Measure your showroom floor area. For areas larger than 50m², order multiple 10L tins or contact us for bulk pricing on larger quantities. Always order 15% extra for wastage, edges, and future touch-ups.
