1. Introduction
Are you ready to give your floors a stunning makeover? Africote’s Epoxy Terrazzo Floor Coat is the perfect solution for a durable and attractive finish. In this guide, we’ll show you how to apply it yourself, step by step.
2. Preparation of the floor before application
Before you start, it’s crucial to prepare the floor properly. Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any dirt, grease, or old coatings. Ensure the floor is dry and free of any debris. This step is essential for the epoxy to adhere correctly.
3. Epoxy terrazzo floor coat mixing instructions
Next, you’ll need to mix the epoxy terrazzo floor coat. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Typically, this involves combining the resin and hardener in the correct proportions. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a uniform consistency.
4. Application of the first coat
Once your mixture is ready, it’s time to apply the first coat. Use a roller or brush to spread the epoxy evenly across the floor. Work in small sections to ensure a smooth and even application. Allow the first coat to dry completely before proceeding to the next step.
5. How to apply the second coat & terrazzo flakes
After the first coat has dried, apply the second coat of epoxy. This is where you can add terrazzo flakes for a decorative touch. Sprinkle the flakes evenly over the wet epoxy. Press them gently into the surface to ensure they adhere properly. Allow the second coat to dry thoroughly.
6. Application of the final protective clear sealer
The final step is to apply a protective clear sealer. This will enhance the durability and shine of your epoxy terrazzo floor. Apply the sealer evenly using a clean roller or brush. Allow it to dry completely before using the floor.
