The skim coat is the second layer of your lava stone poured floor and determines the final result: the full colour, the even texture and that typical seamless, stone-like appearance. You apply it over the cured base coat and spread it out into a smooth, sealed floor. Available in 182 RAL colours, so your floor gets exactly the shade you have in mind.

Why the skim coat

You mix this two-component epoxy (A+B) in the tin and spread it over the base coat with a flat trowel. This way it fills small irregularities and you get an even surface with no roller marks or visible transitions. Once cured, the floor is strong, liquid-tight and easy to keep clean. The long pot life means you can work without rushing, even if you are doing a larger room on your own.

Even more beautiful with two skim coats

One skim coat already gives a sleek result. Add a second one and the effect becomes even more beautiful: the colour gains depth, the texture becomes more even and small imperfections disappear completely. In that case, allow 800 grams per m² in total, so 10 kg for roughly 12.5 m².

How to build up the floor

1. Preparation – substrate clean, dry, and free of dust and grease
2. Primer – epoxy floor primer for adhesion, about 100 grams per m²
3. Layer 1 – apply the lava stone base coat, about 200 grams per m², and let it cure
4. Layer 2 – spread this skim coat with a flat trowel, about 400 grams per m²
5. Extra skim coat (optional) – for an even more beautiful, deeper and more even result
6. Finishing – seal with Aflak or Aflak Pro topcoat, about 80 to 100 grams per m²

With the lava stone tool set you have everything at hand to apply the skim coat 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
