Exterior Painting - Painting Concrete Floors
Concrete is a durable but porous material susceptible to stains and weather-induced deterioration. That is why painting concrete floors can be a factor in keeping the value of your property and durability of such surfaces for an extended period of time. At HA Classic Design, painting concrete floors is an important part of our exterior painting service alongside other exterior painting services such as roof painting, fence painting as well as painting exterior doors and windows, decks, and/or brick walls.
Painting concrete floors is simply applying a protective layer of paint to the surface of concrete flooring. Concrete floors are often found in outdoor spaces such as patios, driveways, and pathways in residential properties. Therefore, due to their exposure to external elements, this paint layer can add both visual appeal and also safeguard the floor against weathering effects. It can provide a protective barrier against UV rays, moisture, and daily wear and tear, and enhance the durability and longevity of the concrete.
How HA Classic Design approaches Concrete Floor Painting
First is choosing the right paint for the concrete floor. We use paints specifically designed for floor surfaces for the sake of compatibility and durability. Alternatively, if a customer prefers, we can opt for weather-resistant paints that are better protected against the weather elements and wear and tear. The choice depends on the customer’s preference, and we will discuss this in detail with our customer upon their initial contact.
When it comes to applying paint on the concrete floor, we start with the most important step in an impeccable paint job which is preparing the surface for paint. For a thorough surface preparation, we start with vacuuming the floor. If any area requires scraping, we will do so. Then, we thoroughly wash and clean the surface. If there are any areas with stains, damage, holes, or cracks, we patch them up. Next, we sand the surface. Once the surface is patched and cleaned, we vacuum it once again to ensure optimal conditions for paint adhesion. This thorough cleaning ensues to eliminate any dirt or debris, and prepare the surface for the application of paint.
The next touch is the application of an undercoat that creates a seamless base for the subsequent layer of paint. And, finally, it is applying a layer of paint on the floor to complete the job. As mentioned, the paint can be a paint designed for floors or weather-resistant paint depending on the customer’s choice. However, for some areas such as driveways or high-traffic zones, we suggest the use of durable weather-resistant paints that can withstand heavy use and exposure to the elements.
