Applications
Water-Based Decorative Flooring
Star Hydro Flooring
A low-odour, fast-drying floor coating that brings a decorative, durable finish to homes, offices, and hospitals — without the fumes or downtime of solvent-based systems.
Star Hydro Flooring is a water-based floor coating developed for homes, offices, schools, hospitals, and light industrial floors. It's designed to deliver the decorative look and durability of premium flooring, without the strong smell and long wait times of traditional solvent-based coatings.
Ordinary floor paint wears thin and peels within a year or two in busy areas. Star Hydro Flooring is a tougher coating that resists stains and wear far longer, while still going on easily and drying quickly enough to finish a room in a single day.
Key Features
- Water-based formula that's simple to handle and apply, even indoors in occupied spaces.
- Low odour, making it comfortable to apply in homes, hospitals, and schools without long ventilation waits.
- Eco-friendly chemistry that produces far less waste and fumes than solvent-based coatings.
- Seamless, joint-free finish across large floor areas — no grout lines like tile.
- Strong adhesion to properly prepared concrete, screed, and primed surfaces, including many existing tiles and coatings.
- Available in matte, satin, and gloss finishes across a wide colour range.
- Resists stains, water, and everyday wear far longer than ordinary floor paint.
- Long service life of 5–10 years or more under normal use.

The Problem
3 Problems With Ordinary Floors
Worn-out paint, disruptive fumes, and cracked grout lines all make ordinary flooring a hassle. Star Hydro Flooring is built to solve all three.
Ordinary Floor Paint Wears Out Fast
Standard floor paint is a thin film with limited resistance to daily wear — it typically peels or wears through in high-traffic areas within a year or two.
Solvent-Based Coatings Disrupt Occupied Spaces
Traditional solvent-based floor coatings come with strong odours and long ventilation waits, often forcing homes, offices, or hospital wards to be evacuated for days during application.
Tiled Floors Trap Dirt and Eventually Crack
Tile grout lines collect dirt over time and can crack or lift, while the tiles themselves are slow and disruptive to install compared with a coated floor.
Benefits
6 Magical Benefits of Star Hydro Flooring
Six benefits define why homeowners, architects, and facility managers choose Star Hydro Flooring: eco-friendly, low-odour chemistry; a seamless decorative finish; excellent wear resistance; safety for occupied buildings; easy cleaning; and a long service life that keeps costs low.
Eco-Friendly, Low-Odour Formula
Star Hydro Flooring is water-based rather than solvent-based, which means far fewer fumes released during and after application. That makes it possible to renovate occupied homes, schools, and hospitals without displacing anyone for long ventilation periods. This eco-friendly formula doesn't come at the expense of performance — it holds up as well as many solvent-based coatings while genuinely reducing the project's environmental footprint.
Seamless Decorative Finish
The coating cures to a continuous, joint-free surface available in matte, satin, and gloss finishes across a wide colour range. Unlike tiled floors, there are no grout lines to collect dirt or eventually crack, and unlike ordinary paint, the finish has real depth and consistency across large areas.
Excellent Wear Resistance
The coating is built to withstand sustained everyday foot traffic without the rapid wear-through that ordinary floor paint shows within a year or two. High-traffic corridors, living rooms, and office floors keep their finish and colour far longer.
Safe for Occupied Buildings
Because the formula is water-based and low-odour, application can happen in spaces that stay in use — bedrooms, offices, hospital corridors, and classrooms — without the multi-day evacuation that solvent-based coatings often require.
Easy Cleaning & Low Maintenance
The seamless surface resists staining and dirt build-up, and is simple to maintain with routine dust-mopping and occasional wet-mopping. There's no ingrained grime the way tile grout accumulates over years of use.
Long Service Life
Under normal conditions, Star Hydro Flooring typically lasts five to ten years or more before needing a maintenance recoat — well beyond ordinary floor paint's one-to-two-year wear cycle.
How to Apply
How to Apply in 3 Easy Steps
Star Hydro Flooring goes on easily with no separate hardener to mix, and dries quickly enough to finish most rooms in a single day.
Surface Preparation
Make sure the floor is clean, dry, and free of dust or damaged patches. Repair any cracks and check that older coatings or tiles are properly primed first.
Mixing
Stir the coating thoroughly before use — it's a single, ready-to-use product with no separate hardener to mix in.
Application
Apply an even coat with a roller, brush, or spray, then let it dry before adding a second coat. Allow the final coat to cure fully before moving furniture back or reopening the floor to heavy use.
