Re: Epoxy Paint to concrete floors

["Ho Yin Ng" <architect.hoyin@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am doing research on it at the moment.

Is there a yahoo DIY group? I did a search but was unable to find one. I
also posted on the selfbuild group but does not seem to be of much
interest=
.

If you want a non slip surface you can mix some grit in to it, but I would
say that this would not be a great finish for inside the house! It would
however be fine for your garage.

I know there are a few professional companies that I have used at work -
Altro and Boldit. But these are expensive (=A33k for 40sqm). So I am
lookin=
g
for a cheaper but as effective gloss finish.

So far everyone who I have spoken to say that the floor scratches easily.
But no one has used a poyeurethane protective top coat.

I will have a look at the two pack water based epoxy. Have you used it Rob?
