OXIDE FLOORING TECHNIQUE

 

How to achieve a perfect oxide flooring ? 

1. Prepare the Surface: Make sure the floor base is rough and free from debris. Use a cement base and level it properly. 

2. Mix Oxide Paste: Combine colored oxide powder with white cement and a little water to create a smooth, lump-free paste. 

3. Apply the First Layer: Spread the oxide paste evenly over the floor with a trowel. Ensure an even layer about 2–3 mm thick. 

4. Smoothen the surface : Use paper to dewater the surface and different size of trowel to smoothen the surface. 

5. Cure the Layer: Keep the layer wet for 3 to 4 day by gently sprinkling water. This helps it set and increases durability. 

6. Polish the Floor: After the curing period, mix the wax polish with the same oxide power and apply a thin protective layer using cloth. Leave the surfaces untouched for 2 days so that the wax gets absorbed into the oxide floor. 

7. Buffing the floor : Gradually use buffing machine and attach coconut fiber pads to enhance shine. Buff the floor until you get the desired finish.
