Painted concrete or wood floors—often coated with epoxy, oil-based, or acrylic paints—can present complications during flooring installation. The substrate must be free of old adhesives, paint, sealers, curing agents, grease, oil, dirt, plaster, or other incompatible materials before installation. Any remaining residues effectively become the bonding surface, which can compromise adhesion if not sound or clean.
