What is the coverage per m²?
Before applying Basement Epoxy, take the time to properly prepare your substrate. Dampen it and apply the epoxy evenly using a circular motion. Aquaplan recommends a processing rate of 0.25 L/m² per layer, which must be strictly adhered to for the best results with your DIY project. Remember to calculate the exact amount of material needed for no waste and perfect results. With proper preparation, application technique, and the right consumption rate, you’ll achieve excellent results by following Aquaplan Basement Epoxy's user instructions.
Step-by-step Guide
After careful preparation, your substrate is ready for the application of Aquaplan Basement Epoxy. First, stir components A and B individually before mixing 1 part component A with 4 parts component B in a clean container. Carefully apply the mixture with a hard brush using circular motions at a rate of 0.25 L/m² per layer. Allow an 8-hour interval between layers and apply at least two. If necessary, additional layers can be added. With its simplicity, cost-saving benefits, and quick application, Aquaplan Basement Epoxy is ideal for DIYers looking for the perfect finish!
What surfaces can it be applied to?
Aquaplan Basement Epoxy can be applied to various substrates, provided they are well-prepared. Common surfaces include concrete and cement renders, which adhere well due to their porous nature. Brick walls can also be treated, as long as they are free of dirt and loose materials that may hinder adhesion. For the best results, ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease or oil, and repair any significant damage or unevenness before applying the epoxy. A clean and even base guarantees durability and effectiveness of the epoxy coating.
Mixing Ratio
After thoroughly preparing your substrate with Aquaplan’s wire brush and pressure washer, you’re ready to apply the Basement Epoxy. Mix the components in a ratio of 1 part component A to 4 parts component B at a rate of 0.25 L/m² per layer, with two layers applied 8 hours apart. This ensures a strong bond between the substrate and the epoxy. If needed, a third layer can be applied under exceptional circumstances. Before starting, carefully review the application guidelines to ensure success!
Basement Epoxy Colour Customisation
Aquaplan Basement Epoxy doesn’t have to stick to standard colours—it can also be colour-mixed to meet specific aesthetic preferences. We offer several grey tones, ideal for creating a modern, clean look in your basement space.

Basement Floor Coating
Basement floor coating is an excellent choice for protecting and enhancing floors in damp environments. Not only does it add an aesthetic upgrade, but it also creates a robust barrier against water damage and wear. Before application, prepare the floor by cleaning it thoroughly, ensuring it's dry and free of oil or grease. Repair small cracks and irregularities for a smooth finish. Use a roller for large areas and a brush for corners and edges. Follow the packaging instructions carefully for mixing ratios and drying times to achieve the best possible results.
What type of brush is recommended for Aquaplan?
If you prefer brushing, use a block brush. It’s ideal for applying basement epoxy to hard-to-reach areas and for accurately treating edges and corners. Ensure you apply even layers for optimal product distribution. Like with a roller, make sure the surface is clean and dry, and that the epoxy is well-mixed before applying.
Which paint roller should I use for Aquaplan?
Basement Epoxy is best applied with a nylon roller. This ensures even distribution over the surface. Use a quality nylon roller to avoid leaving fibres in the epoxy, which could affect the end result. Apply in overlapping strokes for complete coverage and avoid imperfections that might compromise the waterproof barrier. Clean and dry the surface first for optimal results.
How many layers of Aquaplan Basement Epoxy?
Two layers are essential for the best results with basement epoxy. One layer alone won’t suffice! Each layer should be approximately 1mm thick, so plan accordingly to ensure you have a sufficient amount of product. Upon completion, enjoy the satisfaction of accomplishing this task with durable and effective protection that will last for years.
