The base coat is the first coloured layer of your lava stone poured floor. It seals the primed substrate, lays down the colour and forms the foundation on which the skim coat is spread later on. Available in 182 RAL colours and in 5 kg and 10 kg, so you buy exactly what your room needs.

Why the base coat

You mix this two-component epoxy (A+B) in the tin and roll it out over the primed floor. The layer bonds strongly, covers well and gives the skim coat an even, sealed surface to work on. Without that base, colour differences and absorption from the subfloor will show through in the end result. The long pot life gives you time to work calmly, section by section.

• Long pot life, fast curing
• Walkable after 10 hours, fully loadable after 1 week

How to build up the floor

1. Preparation – substrate clean, dry, and free of dust and grease
2. Primer – epoxy floor primer for adhesion, allow about 100 grams per m²
3. Layer 1 – apply this base coat and let it cure
4. Layer 2 – spread the lava stone skim coat with a flat trowel, about 400 grams per m²
5. Extra skim coat (optional) – a second skim coat makes the effect even more beautiful: deeper in colour and more even in texture
6. Finishing – seal with Aflak or Aflak Pro topcoat, about 100 grams per m²

With the lava stone tool set you have everything at hand to apply the layers properly.

Good to know

• The stated coverage applies to one coat
• Order enough of your colour in one go: with a repeat order there may be a slight colour difference between batches
• Mixed colours are made to order
• Apply at a room temperature between 15 and 25 °C and mix both components thoroughly
