Essential refurbishment cannot be avoided during the colder months. Putting temporary heaters in place is often of little use, especially in areas that are exposed to the cold, such as loading bays and warehouses with roller shutter doors. The heaters warm the air but not the floor, which is usually around 5-8°C lower than the air temperature. If a paint requires 10-15°C to dry the floor will be too cold for the project to be a success.
Read on to find out what can go wrong, and how you can do it right.

It has been possible for some years to modify a 100% solids epoxy to cope with temperatures down to 5°C. See our formulas below:
Watco is a pioneers in the development and use of polyaspartic resins. This innovative floor coating technology even dries in icy temperatures of -10 ° C.
The polyaspartic resins are two-part component products. The base resin and activator are mixed together just before use to begin the curing process. See our formulas below:
A thick virtually solvent free epoxy. One coat protection for heavily trafficked surfaces
