Concrete floor paint is designed to do far more than improve appearance; it protects, strengthens and enhances performance in demanding environments.
Key benefits include:
-
Durable formulations: Protects against foot traffic, vehicles and abrasion
-
Dust-proofing: Seals porous concrete to reduce dust and debris
-
Chemical resistance: Ideal for garages and workshops prone to spills
-
Water resistance: Helps prevent moisture penetration
-
Improved safety: Anti-slip options reduce risk in wet or busy areas
-
Easy maintenance: Creates smooth surfaces that are easier to clean
Whether you’re upgrading a garage, workshop, warehouse or interior living space, the right concrete floor paint can transform both the look and longevity of your floor.
We supply a comprehensive selection of concrete floor coatings to suit every project, from DIY home improvements to heavy-duty industrial environments.
Diverse Finishes
When painting concrete flooring, choosing the right finish is just as important as choosing the right formula. Each offers different aesthetic and practical benefits. Our paints are available in the following finishes:Â
-
Matt: A low-sheen, modern finish that helps hide imperfections in uneven concrete. Ideal for domestic interiors or low-traffic areas.
-
Eggshell: A subtle sheen finish with added durability. Eggshell finishes are perfect for light commercial spaces where you want a balance of style and resilience.
-
Satin: A popular mid-sheen option that’s durable and easy to clean. Suitable for garages, workshops and utility areas.Â
-
Semi-gloss: A tougher, more reflective finish that provides enhanced durability and stain resistance. Ideal for high-traffic or industrial floors.
Water & Solvent-Based Formulas
We supply concrete floor paints in both water-based and solvent-based formulations.Â
Solvent-Based Concrete Floor Paint
Solvent-based paints are known for their superior durability and resistance. This makes them ideal for heavy-duty environments, like warehouses, factories, workshops and garages. We supply a variety of popular solvent-based floor paints, including:Â
-
Johnstone’s Trade Flortred Floor Paint: A polyurethane-modified coating designed for light to medium traffic areas. It offers excellent resistance to oil, grease and chemicals, in a tough, semi-gloss finish.
-
Armstead Trade Floor Paint: A professional-grade coating formulated for consistent coverage and durability. This paint is a reliable choice for commercial environments and high-traffic concrete floors.
-
Coo-Var Floor Paint: A highly durable, heavy-duty coating suitable for industrial and workshop environments, known for its strong adhesion and resistance to wear, chemicals and frequent cleaning.
Water-Based Concrete Floor Paint
Water-based (acrylic) floor paints are easier to apply, faster drying and easier to clean up. They’re also more environmentally friendly and low-VOC. They’re well-suited to light-use or interior concrete floors and projects requiring a quick turnaround. We supply various water-based floor paints, including:Â
-
Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint: A low-odour solution ideal for internal concrete floors. Touch-dry in two hours and ready for a second coat in six, this paint offers good durability with easier application.
-
Blackfriar Acrylic Floor Paint: A versatile acrylic coating designed for light to medium traffic areas. It’s recommended to wait six months before painting new concrete.
Specialist & Designer Paints
For more specific project requirements, we offer a selection of specialist floor paints designed to enhance safety, durability or aesthetics.
Anti-Slip Floor Paint
Anti-slip concrete floor paint is essential in environments where safety is a priority, particularly where floors may become wet, oily or slippery underfoot. These paints are perfect for steps, walkways, loading areas, commercial entrances and ramps, where good traction is required.
-
Blackfriar Anti-Slip Floor Paint: A durable coating with added aggregate for enhanced grip, helping reduce the risk of slips in domestic and light commercial settings.
-
Armstead Trade Anti-Slip Floor Paint: A textured, oil-based paint offering consistent slip-resistance and lasting performance in higher traffic areas where safety is a concern.Â
Polyurethane Floor Paint
Polyurethane floor paint is formulated with synthetic resins for floors exposed to frequent wear and tear from heavy footfall or machinery. These include warehouses, storage areas, workshops and busy garages.
Polyurethane paints create a harder, more resilient surface than standard paints, making them well-suited to demanding environments where longevity is key. Available in ready-mixed colours, our Blackfriar Polyurethane Floor Paint is a tough, solvent-based coating reinforced with polyurethane for superior abrasion resistance.
Fast-Drying Industrial Paint
Fast-drying concrete floor paint is ideal for projects where time is limited, and downtime needs to be minimised. These paints are especially useful in operational environments where closing a space for extended periods isn’t practical. This includes retail environments, warehouses, factories and industrial premises.Â
Our Teamac Fast Drying Industrial Floor Paint is touch-dry in two hours and recoatable in 16 hours. This semi-gloss finish is designed for diverse floor types, withstanding heavy foot traffic and light truck traffic.
Designer Floor Paint
Designer floor paints combine durability with premium aesthetics, making them ideal for interior spaces where appearance matters just as much as performance. These paints allow you to elevate kitchens, dining areas, hallways and other high-traffic areas of the home with coordinated designer shades.
Our designer floor paints, like Little Greene Intelligent Floor Paint, are low-VOC and eco-friendly. Available in the Little Greene designer colour range, this premium, water-based floor paint offers exceptional durability in a fast-drying formula.

FAQs
Acrylic (water-based) floor paint is best for domestic and light-use areas, as it dries quickly, has low odours and is easy to apply and clean up.Â
Solvent-based paint is better suited to heavy-duty environments like garages and industrial spaces. While it takes longer to dry, oil-based paint offers superior durability, chemical resistance and long-term performance.
Yes, proper preparation is essential for long-lasting results. Bare concrete should be clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, grease or previous coatings. In some cases, etching or priming may be required to ensure the paint adheres properly. Always read the manufacturer’s instructions before applying your first coat.
The best garage floor paint is typically a solvent-based or polyurethane coating. These paints provide excellent resistance to tyre marks, oil spills and heavy foot traffic. Anti-slip options are also recommended for added safety.
Most types of concrete floor paints are water-resistant, but not fully waterproof. For areas exposed to damp, permanent moisture or standing water, a specialist waterproof coating or sealer may be required.
