The Temafloor range of products are most commonly used in industrial facilities and logistics centres, where more emphasis is placed on the floor’s durability and other qualities, rather than its appearance. Betolux floor paints have been used in spaces where less wear resistance is required, such as basements and stairs.

Now, a new type of aesthetic can be applied everywhere: offices, coffee shops, shopping centres, reception rooms, homes, etc. Concrete doesn’t need to be gray and dull, because Tikkurila’s floor products come in a practically unlimited range of colors, and may be used to produce various patterns and effects.

Four new techniques

Free-hand patterning The technique allows the free use of patterns and colors. The most striking end-result is achieved with large, simple patterns. Color choices help create fabulous contrasts or more subtle designs.	Spatter patterning Spraying the thinner creates an impressive, stone-like finish. Adjusting the size of the droplets affects the size of the pattern. A floor pattern created using paint thinner results in a subtle design, even on larger surfaces.
Marbling You can create a pattern resembling an oil color marbling effect by spreading multiple coatings of various colors with an adjustable spatula so that the colors partially mix. Different color combinations can be used to create very striking or more subtle effects.	Staining  Applying a stain on the floor highlights its scrapes, cracks and porosity variations in a unique way, and creates an unevenly colored surface.
