FAQs

How much area does one litre cover?

One litre of Coo-Var Anti-Slip Acrylic Floor Paint is estimated to cover between 5 and 9 square meters, depending on the porosity and texture of the surface.

Can this paint be used on existing painted surfaces?

Yes, it can be applied to existing, well-adhered paint finishes, provided the surface is thoroughly cleaned and prepared. Light abrasion may improve adhesion.

How long until the floor can be walked on?

The paint is touch dry in 1 hour, allowing for light foot traffic. However, full hardness and durability are achieved after 5-7 days.

What is the best way to clean the painted surface?

Regular cleaning can be done with a mild detergent and water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Is this paint suitable for areas that get very wet?

Yes, the paint is tested to BS7976-2 for low risk in wet and dry conditions, making it suitable for areas that may become wet, such as pathways or entrances.

What colours are available?

This product is available in several colours, including Grey, Yellow, White, Black, and Red.

Does it have a strong smell?

No, it is a water-based paint with low odour, making it more pleasant to use, especially in enclosed spaces.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free from contaminants before application. Re-profile the surface if necessary and ensure a compatible primer was used for metal.

Uneven finish or roller marks

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred. Apply in thin, even coats, working with a consistent rhythm. Use an extension pole for a smoother application.

Slow drying time

Ensure application is within the recommended temperature and humidity ranges. Poor ventilation can also slow drying. Increase airflow if possible.

Surface still feels slippery

Ensure the paint was applied to the correct film thickness. The anti-slip aggregate is suspended in the paint; inadequate coverage may reduce its effectiveness. Consider a second coat if necessary.
