Grow room floor coating
    #27112153 - 12/28/20 12:10 PM (3 years, 30 days ago)

What's the best way to paint and seal a concrete floor for a growroom? I'm about to build a bigger grow room and want to get this right this time. My last one started chipping within a few months. I want this to hold up and have some kind of clear coat that cleans and mops well and won't chip away

Get garage floor paint, should hold really well. I would recommend cleaning really well before any paint is applied. Everyday house paint not suitable for concrete. Any surface will mop well, as long it's smooth, and no texture. If you can drive in and out a garage for years, I'm sure it withstand some foot traffic and tubs.

Read up on painting a garage floor.

Regardless of what's being painted, surface should be cleaned well with soap water ( get the oils off), and all debris  removed. Can't paint over dust bunnies. Even decks get power washed before restraining or painting.  Never painted an unwashed wall. You'll definitely want to get some sort of floor scraper, get the pealing crap off. Should get 7-10 years out of it, even if you power wash it every 2 years.

If you really wanna go nuts, get swimming pool, aquatic paint, for concrete pools., about $40-50 a gallon. That shit willn hold up to muaratic( sp?)  acid  ( 10x as strong as bleach)for scrubbing pools when emptied.

Some garage floor paints have grit mixed in, so they are non slip.

Yeah bud, either will work, clean surface is an absolute. Will need to find a pool place, don't think home Depot carries it. I grew up pools,  have one, only paint the pool every 4-5years with algae, chlorine, traffic.., but the chlorine over time bleached the paint, only reason it gets repainted, not from peeling or abuse.

Personally, I would never put that down. Once it's down, that's it, and super thick to work with, nightmare putting it down.  Perhaps to seal a leaky basement subfloor, but, if you can't apply professionally, the floor is done or pay $5000 to try to get the shit off. Not conducive to a grow room.

And even for a garage, that would have tire tracks permanently embedded in it the first week.

I don't think you have ever applied an epoxy floor. Nothing you said is true. It is not super thick and is easy to put down and is very hard if you let it set properly.

When it says it is thick it is saying it has more depth not that its consistency is thick you just spread it out with a paint roller and it self levels. It couldn't be easier to apply.

:whathesaid:

Literally one of THE most "conducive" products for a grow room/lab...although it does take some common sense to prep/apply, and outright a little more expensive.. But sheesh ..shouldn't cost Anywhere near $5000 to apply OR remove!

@$70/gallon...RETAIL...very easy to find on sale/bulk deals..I'd have to agree that you have no experience with this product...especially if you "want to do it right the first time"...all be it the answers subjective, but with the attitude= "do it right the first time" . .it's hard to beat this properly applied product in a properly designed installation!

I just reread my last post and it sounds a bit rude. I am sorry I did not intend to sound rude. I apologize if anyone took it in the wrong way.
