What You Need To Know About Painting Floors

You’ve painted the walls, the ceiling and the trim but the room still doesn’t feel complete. It just might be time to paint the floors. For maximum transformation on a minimum budget, you can’t beat painted floors.

Paint Is For More Than Just Hardwood

Painted wood floors are typical in cottages but did you know you can also paint tile, concrete, plywood, even linoleum. The possibilities are endless!

Painting Floors Is Budget Friendly

Painting floors can save you time and money when updating or renovating. Instead of replacing the entire floor, painting wood floors is super easy on your wallet and looks great!

Worried About Wear and Tear?

No need to worry too much about wear and tear. If and when your floors start to lose their luster, just add another coat of paint.

Use Quality Paints

The cheaper paint might be enticing to pick up, but it often compromises on the raw materials used in its formulation. Quality paint contains many activators and solids (unlike cheaper options) and will last longer. Always look for a good deal but be careful when the price is super low.

What Sheen Should Be Used When Painting Wooden floors?

We recommend either satin or semi-gloss

Satin: Definitely the most popular choice when painting wood floors. Satin finishes strike a good balance between reflectivity and practical day to day use. It lasts a long time and little dents and scratches are not too visible.

Semi-gloss: While not as “shiny” as full gloss, this paint is pretty reflective. This is not a bad thing though, a lot of people adore the look and specifically go out of their way to buy it.

Painting Your Floors Is No Small Task

Preparation is key. For starters, make sure the room is empty and that the floors have been wiped clean. It takes primer, multiple thin layers, and sealant to solidify your floor paint, so make sure you can live without that room until the project is finished!.
