Painting a Kitchen

First, protect all areas that should not be painted with masking film and painter's tape. Mix the wall paint thoroughly and add your WB pigment – only the Polar White variant is already pre-tinted. Apply the paint and allow it to dry. We recommend approximately two coats. When painting a kitchen, you should paint the ceiling first and then the walls. Remove the painter's tape before the paint has dried completely.

Sand the surface to improve adhesion. Ensure the surface is clean and grease-free – use a pre-cleaner if necessary. Mix the paint thoroughly and add the supplied WB pigment. Apply one coat with a brush or foam roller and allow it to dry for approximately 8 hours at 20 °C. We recommend approximately 2 coats for an optimal result.

Sand the tiles evenly (P80–P120) – even if you want to paint a high-gloss kitchen, it is sufficient to sand until visible scratches appear. Mask off areas that should not be painted. Clean the tiles with a pre-cleaner to remove dust and grease – remove all silicone joints. Mix 2K resin tile paint (A) and hardener (B) in a ratio of 5:1 and add the WB pigment. Apply the first coat in a cross-hatch pattern with the roller and leave it to dry for approximately 12 hours at 20 °C. Apply at least two coats.

2K tile paint requires approximately 12 hours at 20 °C and 65% relative humidity to become touch-dry. A painted kitchen floor is ready to walk on after at least 24 hours. 2K tile paint is fully cured after 7 days at 20 °C. At lower temperatures or higher humidity, the drying time will be extended.

No, tile paint does not adhere to silicone. We recommend removing all silicone joints before painting. Tile paint can, however, be applied over acrylic joints without any problems. With 2K tile paint, it is especially important to remove silicone joints completely, as otherwise the paint may lift at the edges and water could get behind the paint layer.

Wall paint, Acrylic Protect and tile paint must be applied at a minimum of +8 °C. The components of two-component tile paint should be at least 15 °C. The optimal application temperature for all products is 20 °C. Applying below the minimum temperature can lead to problems with opacity and drying.

We recommend applying the clear epoxy resin in two coats. The first thin coat serves as a primer. Mix resin (A) with hardener (B) in a 2:1 ratio by weight and apply the primer evenly using a foam roller. Allow it to cure. Then mix the main coat and apply it across the entire surface using a squeegee or foam roller. The coating will be touch-dry after approximately 20 hours and fully cured after 7 days.

After complete chemical curing, epoxy resin is heat resistant up to 60 °C. We nevertheless recommend using trivets or a mat when placing hot pots or pans on it. By applying a 2K PU topcoat, the heat resistance can be increased to up to 80 °C.

Ensure the substrate is stable, dry and free from dirt and unevenness. Prime with the appropriate primer. Mix the microcement powder with liquid component B in a ratio of 100:20 and add 2% WB pigment. Apply the mixture thinly with a trowel and leave to dry. Apply a second coat within 24 hours. For wet areas and worktops, seal with PU Finish.

Yes, our 2K PU Clear Coat can be used as a transparent protective coat on a wide variety of surfaces in the kitchen – on furniture, tiles, microcement and epoxy resin. It is available in matt and gloss finishes. Please note that the untinted variants of Acrylic Protect and Wall Paint are not transparent – they have a milky-white appearance.
