We are a maintenance company and look after hundreds of properties What I'm after is a quick drying anti slip waterproof paint I can apply to concrete steps to prevent water entering under the stairs Also we have bay balconies which also leak and I would like advise on something i can use to coat these as well
After any necessary cleaning, repairs, etc. are carried out, surfaces can be sealed and waterproofed with Smartkote Protectakote UVR. It is single component, easy to use, anti-slip and dries in 2 hours per coat which can even be accelerated with Smartkote Protectakote UVR Accelerator if required. Slip resistance can also be increased if desired with the addition of Smartkote Protectakote Safety Grip.
Assuming good condition, sound, bare concrete, you would apply 1 coat of Smartkote EP90 Universal Epoxy Primer at 6m² per litre, followed by 2 coats of Smartkote Protectakote UVR in the colour of your choice at 4m² per litre/per coat.
Other priming possibilities are;
- Porous tiles - 1 coat of Smartkote EP90 Universal Epoxy Primer
- Sound paint - remove gloss if present, clean with solvent and apply direct
- Glazed tiles – prime with Smartkote Protectakote Clear Primer Treatment and apply 2 coats of Protectakote UVR Smooth Clear (if the tile’s appearance is to be retained) or colour of your choice if not.
Areas requiring a smooth finish instead of a textured, anti-slip profile - we have a non-textured version of Protectakote UVR merely called ‘Smartkote Protectakote UVR Smooth’ which can be switched out to replace the Protectakote UVR in any of the scenarios above if required. Applying a 'thin coat' of Protectakote UVR Smooth over any installations of Protectakote UVR also seals, extends the life and makes it easier to clean.
