If you are someone who wants your floors to last longer and continue looking good, floor paint hardener is the right choice for you. If you smother your floors in paint, it can look good but not necessarily be strong enough to withstand heavy foot traffic or spills. That’s where floor paint hardener fills the gap. This special additive makes the paint harder, so it’s more resistant to scratches, stains and wear. If you are looking to have your painted floors looking great and lasting for a long time, most people add a hardener. At Dongxu, we have a clear knowledge of our customers need and can provide high quality products for you to get great results on your flooring. For instance, our PU Moisture Hardener is specifically designed to enhance durability.
It can be hard to find the right floor paint hardener, but it’s an important thing to do. First, put some thought into the kind of floor you’re dealing with. Other floors, such as concrete or wood, may require different types of hardeners. If you are painting, say, a concrete floor, for instance — we wrote last week about how wonderful painted wood floors can look in magazine-worthy rooms but that they had a tendency to chip and scratch under heavy use over time — you might want your hardener product to be strong. Wood floors, on the other hand, might be a totally different story. Also, think about the space where the flooring will be installed. If it’s a garage or workshop, you’ll want a hardener that can withstand chemicals and oil. Seek out products designed specifically for your needs (like those from Dongxu), such as our Water Based Isocyanate Hardener for versatile applications.
Next, consider how convenient the mixer and application of the hardener are. There are hardeners that need no more than an application, and there are hardeners which require special tools or at least some skill. Be sure to read the directions well. It’s also nice to see how quickly or slowly the hardener dries. Fast-drying hardeners are phenomenal for fast projects, but they can also be trickier to work with if you wish to take your time. You may also want to think about the finish you would like on your flooring. A few hardeners can be high gloss or matte. This has the potential to alter the appearance and texture of your flooring once it’s painted.
When it comes to purchasing floor paint hardener, you are looking for a high quality at the best price. Local hardware stores or paint supply shops are a good place to start. These places usually have a selection of items and can help you find what you need. But if you need wholesale costs, what I would do is look online. A large number of firms, Dongxu included, sell their products on online shopping platforms. That way, you can do a price check and take advantage of the best offer in your living room.
Another issue involves applying the hardener in less than ideal conditions. If the hardener is too hot, too cold or extremely humid, it might not cure as well. This could result in peeling or paint chipped away at sometime afterwards. So to avoid that, make sure that you’re checking the weather before you go. The best time to use floor paint hardener is on a beautiful, dry day. It’s crucial, too, to carefully follow the directions on the label of the product. Different brands may have different guidelines, so read them carefully.
Sometimes, people don’t use the proper instruments to apply the hardener. In addition, if brushes or rollers are inappropriate the coverage will be uneven. For the smooth finish, you should use tools specified by the product you are using. When in doubt, ask a store employee or refer to Dongxu’s recommendations. Finally, insufficient drying time may also be an issue. You can ruin the hardener if you walk on the floor too quickly. Always allow it a little more time to dry completely before using the space again.
Floor paint hardener is absolutely critical for applications at commercial facilities such as stores, warehouses and factories. The first is that it serves to make the floor stronger. Floors in high-traffic areas can take a beating from people walking over them, heavy machinery and furniture. Scratches, and damage can quickly occur if your floor isn’t tough enough to handle it. A floor paint hardener helps prevent such issues with your finished floors. That means not only that the floor will last longer, but also that money will be saved on repairs.
