Floor Primers
Floor primers are essential for preparing porous or previously untreated floors ahead of painting, helping to seal, stabilise, and reinforce the substrate for longer-lasting results. They improve the adhesion of topcoats, reduce porosity, and help prevent issues like delamination, dusting, and premature failure - especially on concrete and other absorbent surfaces.

Floor Primers
Floor primers provide a critical foundation in any coating system, designed to bind dust, reduce porosity, and improve adhesion before applying a floor paint or coating. On new or repaired concrete, they prevent early paint failure and can also aid in moisture control, especially when dealing with uncured or slightly damp substrates. Primers are also used to reinforce weakened surfaces, help block stains and contaminants, and protect against early damage from oil, chemicals or impact. Choosing the right floor primer ensures your topcoat performs to its full specification - and for longer.
Our range includes solutions for concrete, masonry, screeds, and even metal flooring. When used with concrete floor paints, primers help avoid patchy absorption and uneven finishes. In high-demand environments such as automotive bays and industrial units, floor primers lay the groundwork for specialist garage floor paints to resist wear, tyre pickup, and fluid spills. For more aggressive, chemical-heavy environments, pairing a compatible primer with epoxy floor paints ensures optimal bonding, chemical resistance, and surface integrity over time. Whether solvent- or water-based, these primers are selected to match substrate condition, topcoat type, and site use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of a floor primer?
Floor primers seal and stabilise the surface before painting, promoting strong adhesion and helping to prevent issues like peeling, bubbling, or dusting - particularly on porous or newly laid concrete.
Do I always need a primer before using floor paint?
Not always - but on bare or absorbent concrete, highly polished surfaces, or damp-prone areas, using a compatible primer with your concrete floor paint significantly improves performance and longevity.
Are floor primers compatible with epoxy paints?
Yes. In fact, many epoxy floor paints require a dedicated primer for maximum adhesion and chemical resistance, especially in industrial or commercial settings.
How long should I wait before painting over a primer?
Recoat times vary by product and temperature. Water-based primers can often be recoated within 2–4 hours, while solvent-based options may require longer. Always consult the technical datasheet for guidance.
Can primers be used on damp floors?
Some specialist primers are moisture-tolerant or damp-proofing, ideal for areas where full drying isn’t possible. These are especially useful in basements or for newly laid concrete.
Do I need a different primer for metal, tile, or wood floors?
Yes. Multi-surface primers are available for difficult substrates, but for best results, choose a primer formulated specifically for the surface material - especially if pairing with industrial coatings or two-pack systems.
