LUL APR Floor Paint Explained

LUL APR floor paints are approved for use in Network Rail and London Underground areas. Designed for high traffic zones, they meet Section 12 fire safety requirements and offer long-lasting performance on concrete floors and other surfaces. These solvent free coatings are suitable for both interior and exterior applications where safety, durability, and easy maintenance are essential.

Benefits of Epoxy Resin Floor Paint

Epoxy resin floor paint is hard wearing and chemical resistant, offering smooth, durable protection for both interior and exterior use. Ideal for concrete floors, tiles, metal and wood, it withstands grease, water, and heavy traffic. Its high build structure and resistance to temperature changes make it one of the highest quality products in our range of industrial floor paints.

Why Epoxy Floor Paint Is Suitable for Every Surface

From bare concrete and tiles to wood and metal, epoxy floor paint provides durable, chemical resistant protection. It’s ideal for garage floors, plant rooms, and industrial sites where foot traffic and wear are constant. These coatings are suitable for both light duty areas and heavy traffic areas, offering impact resistance and a long-lasting finish.

How to Prepare for a Perfect Floor Paint Finish

Achieving a perfect finish starts with proper surface prep. Use water based or solvent free coatings, apply two coats with a quality brush, and follow curing times to create a smooth, hard wearing surface in high traffic areas. Preparation advice is available for every project to ensure optimal results.

Preparing Bare Concrete for Painting

Correct preparation of bare concrete helps prevent staining and ensures proper adhesion. Clean the surface, remove dust, and level using a smoothing compound to achieve a long-lasting, professional epoxy floor finish. Preparing concrete floors correctly ensures each coat bonds well and performs as expected.

Where to Use Epoxy Floor Paint

Epoxy floor paint is suitable for garage floors, plant rooms, industrial workshops, and walkways. It performs well on concrete, wood, tiles, and even primed metal in high traffic areas. Its waterproof properties make it a strong choice for both interior and exterior floors.

Two Coats for Best Performance

Applying two coats improves durability, impact resistance, and finish quality. This method enhances waterproofing, chemical resistance, and helps the coating cure evenly on any surface. Whether for small repairs or full coverage, two coats offer a complete solution.

Floor Paints for Garage Floors

Garage floors benefit from solvent free epoxy coatings that resist grease, stains, and tyre wear. These floor paints create a clean, glossy finish that's built for regular foot traffic and tool use. They’re suitable for industrial and domestic environments.

Achieving a Glossy Finish on Concrete

Using a high build epoxy coating gives concrete floors a glossy finish that is easy to clean and resistant to dust. It's ideal for garages, commercial interiors, and service bays. A glossy surface enhances brightness and cleanliness in functional spaces.

Why Solvent Free Paints Are Ideal

Solvent free floor paints are safer in enclosed spaces like tunnels or service sheds. These coatings are low odour, suitable for both concrete and metal, and ideal for interior areas that demand high performance. They help prevent staining and reduce environmental impact.

Handling Heavy Foot Traffic

Our floor paints are made to withstand daily foot traffic, rolling loads, and cleaning cycles. They're ideal for heavy traffic areas in both public and staff-only environments. Their high resistance to wear and tear makes them reliable for long-term projects.

Hard Wearing Floor Paints That Last

Choose hard wearing coatings for surfaces exposed to oil, heat, or impact. These epoxy systems resist abrasion, temperature changes, and reduce the need for constant repairs. Perfect for industrial floors, garage floors, and exterior concrete walkways.

Using Paints in High Traffic Areas

Paints for high traffic areas must be quick to cure and long lasting. Promain supplies epoxy coatings that perform in platforms, corridors, and other zones exposed to daily use. With smooth application and excellent resistance, they are ideal for demanding environments.

Chemical Resistant Floor Coatings

Chemical resistant coatings are essential in plant rooms, depots, and service sheds. Epoxy coatings protect floors from solvents, oils, and other industrial substances. These coatings are suitable for concrete, tiles, and metal, helping prevent damage and degradation.

Choosing Paints Priced Ex VAT

All Promain floor paints are listed ex VAT for easier pricing and planning. Whether you're working on bare concrete, tiles or metal, we provide value and quality. Our product pages detail coverage, cure times, and preparation guidance.

Painting Concrete for Long-Term Protection

Painting concrete prevents staining, stops dust, and strengthens the surface. Epoxy coatings seal pores and provide a durable, waterproof finish that stands up to frequent use. Whether you're coating garage floors or plant rooms, it's a worthwhile upgrade.

Coating Wood and Metal Surfaces

With proper priming, epoxy floor paints can also be used on wood and metal. These surfaces benefit from a smooth, sealed finish that resists traffic, water, and chemicals. Apply two coats for maximum durability and longevity in any environment.

Colour Options for Functional Flooring

Our floor paints come in a wide colour range to support zoning, walkways, and hazard areas. Colour helps improve safety and guides foot traffic in busy industrial spaces. From standard greys to safety yellow, our complete range covers every need.

Smooth and Easy to Clean Finishes

Epoxy coatings create a smooth, sealed surface that reduces dust and improves cleanability. These finishes are ideal for food storage areas, warehouses, and workshops. They're also waterproof and chemical resistant for long-term performance.

Waterproof Floor Paints for Wet Areas

Waterproof coatings protect against water ingress, mould, and damp. Use them in wash bays, loading zones, or entrance areas exposed to outdoor conditions. Our epoxy range includes both solvent free and water based options suitable for wet areas.

Paints That Cure Quickly

Fast-curing coatings like Remmers QP Color allow you to reopen areas in hours. They’re ideal for urgent floor repairs and projects with minimal downtime. These systems perform even at lower temperatures, making them suitable for various environments.

Choosing Water Based Floor Paints

Water based epoxy coatings are easier to clean and lower in odour. Suitable for light to medium duty applications, they’re perfect for indoor floors or temporary spaces. Apply with a brush or roller for a smooth and professional result.

Complete Floor Paint Systems from Start to Finish

Promain supplies complete systems including primers, epoxy coatings, and topcoats. Whether you’re coating concrete, tiles, or metal, we provide everything you need for a perfect finish. Full preparation advice is available for every project.

Impact Resistant Epoxy Floor Paint
