Concrete: If a curing compound was used during curing, the floor must be diamond-ground; this is easy to check by using the adhesion check. If water is readily absorbed into the substrate, it is always recommended to roughen the floor by grinding — this can be done industrially, but a grit of 60–80 is often sufficient to open the cement skin.
Sand-cement screed: A commonly used finish floor in domestic situations such as garages, but also for example after installing underfloor heating. Where possible, always roughen the floor with grit 60–80–100. Use the primer to remove the substrate's suction.
Anhydrite: The most important thing for an anhydrite floor finish is that the floor contains little to no residual moisture (max. 1%). In addition, you must always sand an anhydrite floor finish. Roughen the floor intensively with grit 60–80–100.
Egaline: There are many types of Egaline; as a rule, the Egaline must no longer be wet. Roughen the floor with grit 60–80–100 and use the primer.
Tiles: With tiles it is important to degrease them very well; also always use a primer to optimize adhesion.
Hardstone/Natural stone: The same applies as for tiles: degrease well and use a primer.
Linoleum: Applying a coating over linoleum (or, for example, a PVC substrate) is possible, but somewhat more difficult and riskier. It must be degreased and sanded extremely well with grit 80–100–120 to create adhesion; also always use the primer to strengthen the bonding bridge.
Wood: The coating system is excellent for use on a wooden substrate. Always sand the wood with grit 80–100–120 and use the primer to encapsulate the fibres and remove suction. If the wooden floor is lacquered or oiled, sand and degrease extra well.
Plaster (walls): The coating can be applied vertically to (plastered) walls. Ensure the moisture is out and apply the primer to promote adhesion.
Other substrates: If your project includes another substrate such as metal, asphalt or for example polyester, please contact us to explain your project; our advisors may be able to assist you further with the appropriate pretreatment or primer.
