'How to' Guide: Concrete Floor
Preparation work
When applying a coating to new or existing concrete preparation is very important! Shieldcoat Floorshield system is a very hard wearing acrylic coating system designed for coating new or existing broom finished or trowel finished concrete and ceramic tiles. The first thing you will have to do is, thoroughly clean your concrete or tile surface that you intend to coat. You can do this with Shieldcoat Mouldshield C diluted 5:1 with water, apply with a soft broom and wash clean with at least a 3000 P.S.I. water blaster, removing all residue of Mouldshield C. Allow to dry preferably overnight. If the concrete or tiles need repairing due to cracking use Shieldcoat Stencilshield Slab Repair that comes in a natural concrete colour.
