Can this be used straight on top of latex self levelling compound? I have self levelled my garage floor so no looking at applying paint. Thanks

Assuming the self levelling compound is over paintable, clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the Technical Data Sheet it should be primed first with Sikafloor 155 WN prior to application.

Does this product need a primer

Most applications with Sikafloor 2540W simply require the first coat to be diluted with 5% water, however there are instances where a primer may be required. Details of preparation and application can be found in the product data sheets available to download from the 'Attachments' tab on the product page. If further clarification is required after referring to this information please contact our Technical Team on technical@rawlinspaints.com or 0113 2455450 (option 2).

We've taken up ancient lino in our kitchen to reveal half good quality floorboards and half concrete. It's fairly level but patchy in places. We'll sand and polyurethane the floorboards and would like to keep the concrete area but finish it in this kind of finish. We see you say it isn't suitable - what products will wee need to level the concrete and get the same type of hard wearing, matt-lustre, coloured effect please?

To level we would suggest Rust-Oleum Speed Screed and to seal we would recommend Rust-Oleum 4900 Polycoat 2K .

Good afternoon, Can this product be used to paint textured stair nosings made of nickel bronze (metal)? Many thanks, Matthew

No, Sikafloor 2540W would not bond to this type of metal.

How can you achieve a matt finish with this product. We do not want a shiny gloss finish. Thanks

Sikafloor 2540W is only available as a matt finish as standard.

You say it is not suitable for domestic use, why is this please

We advise that Sikafloor 2540W and other products like it are only suitable for professional use and should only be applied by suitably experienced and trained contractors. Sikafloor 2540W is intended for use in production areas, warehouses, car park decks, garages, etc. and other products/systems would be better suited for use inside domestic dwelling areas such as kitchens, hallways, lounges, etc.

Is it possible to get some colour sample pots?

Sample pots are not available for this product, it is however produced in industry standard RAL and BS colours which are available to view with reasonable accuracy on official colour charts.

Is the product suitable for use in domestic kitchens? and what would you recommend cleaning it with once installed? Thank

We would not recommend Sikafloor 2540W for a domestic kitchen environment. If you have a specific application please contact us with details so we can make a recommendation, or alternatively you could look at something like Rust-Oleum 9200 Rust-O-Thane which is a popular choice for this type of work and may be suitable for your application.

Do you have a clear version? Matt/gloss

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Colour reproduction of the Products on the Site is limited by the technology used to deliver web pages and by the colour representation of Customer’s own monitor and computer set-up. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our Products but we cannot guarantee that the colour shown on Customer’s monitor’s display will accurately reflect the colour of the Product on delivery. We recommend that Customer first purchases the smallest Product available or access an industry standard colour chart in person (and not digitally) to ensure that the colour is acceptable for its purposes.
