No matter how advanced a coating is, its performance is only as good as the surface it’s applied to. At INSECO, we emphasize that proper surface preparation is the foundation of any successful coating project. Dirt, dust, oils, and moisture can all compromise adhesion, leading to bubbling, peeling, or uneven coverage. For wood surfaces, this may mean sanding, cleaning, and ensuring the wood is dry. For concrete, brick, or stone, proper cleaning and sometimes etching or priming are critical steps before sealing. Investing time in preparation not only ensures a beautiful finish but also maximizes the longevity and protective qualities of INSECO specialty coatings.

Surface preparation also allows you to tailor the coating choice to the specific condition of the material. Older, weathered surfaces may require a different approach than new installations, and knowing the differences can prevent costly mistakes. INSECO provides detailed technical guidance and support to help professionals and DIY enthusiasts understand the nuances of each project type. Following these preparation guidelines ensures your INSECO coatings perform at their best, providing durable, attractive, and reliable protection for years to come. Proper preparation isn’t just a step in the process—it’s the secret to flawless, long-lasting results.
