Step-by-Step Process for Effective Apex Floor Guard Application

Here's a step-by-step guide to ensure the best results. Watch the video for more tips. 

Step 1: Surface Cleaning for Repainting

Before applying Apex Floor Guard: 

• The surface should not be flaky and powdery to avoid peeling off after some time. 
• Any infected area with algae or fungus must be cleaned properly
• If it is a bituminous or asphalt surface, Apex Floor Guard should not be applied. 

Step 2: Prepare the Surface to Apply Paint:

• The surface must be cleaned with water and soap solution. 

• It is best to use a scrub with a bristled broom to remove dirt, debris, oil, grease, dust, and remnants of previously applied paint. 

• The surface must be left for 4-6 hours. 

Note: If the surface is newly built concrete, it will take at least four weeks to be ready for paint application.

Step 3: Application Steps

Here are some application specifications to avoid mistakes: 

• Water can be used as thinner. 

• The concrete surfaces are to be smoothened
• The first coat must be diluted with 10% water and left to dry for four to six hours. 

• The second coat should be applied only when the base coat is completely dried without diluting it. 

Note: It is recommended to maintain a time-lapse of four to six hours between successive coats. Depending on the site's requirements, another coat can be applied.

Step 4: Care after Painting

Once done painting, follow these steps to get the best results: 

• The painted surface should not be disturbed for 24 hours for light foot traffic and 72 hours for regular traffic. 

• For optimum maintenance, it is ideal to wash the surface regularly. 

• Using wired brushes can cause chipping and, therefore, should be avoided.
