quick question about protectakote
« on: March 06, 2007, 10:38:17 pm »
Hi there, do you think its suitable to paint over bathroom type lino? not for lining the floor of my van, have a small shower room that needs sprucing up ;D, thought it maybe suitable, being waterproof and non slip.
cheers

NO NO NO
I would definately not recommend it for that use.
I have done two vans with it and its great just fot that use.
You have to key (scratch) the van floor to give it a base to adhere to so I cannot see it working on a floor.
It would look awful too!!!

And NO again!

It's hard finish stuff, good for dragging things across the floor of your van, but it will rip your feet after a shower!

If it's just for a small shower room, contact any industrial/contract flooring firms near you and ask if they have any off-cuts or roll-ends of non-slip flooring lying around from big jobs.

It's been costed into the price of the job, but these guys throw out nothing  - cos it'll always come in handy for folk needing just a wee bit for a small area.

You get it at a decent price, and they get a few notes for the weekend. WooHoo!

Cheers wavie was gonna do that, i just asked about protectakote because I've only seen pics on websites, as it has rubberised granuals in it I thought it may have been suitable but obviously not ;D
but as always this is the place to ask.
Cheers

Hi
We are the Uk distributors for Protectakote and I came across this post.
Protectakote is ideal for bathroom floors because the rubber granules are non abrasive, it is available in white and cream. If you are in any doubt about adhesion we can supply test pots as well.

Regards

thankyou
I know it was'nt really a window cleaning related question but with so many on here singing its praises and from the product description I'd have thought like you it maybe ideal, I may well get in touch soon about a tester pot.
Thanks again
Simon
