How to paint wooden flooring

 Tools required to paint wooden flooring 

Paint:

  1. Floor paint
 

Essentials:

  1. Brush
  2. Masking tape
  3. Paint tray
  4. Sander
  5. Roller
  6. Sponge
  7. Vacuum cleaner



1. Sand


If your wooden floor has been varnished, you'll need to lightly sand it to make the surface porous again. There will be a lot of dust, so this is a good time to sand your skirting, as you'll need to paint it after you've coated the floor for optimal effects.




2. Clean

To eliminate any traces of debris, dust, and grease, vacuum the floor and wipe down sanded surfaces with degreaser.


3. Tape

Once the surface is dry, use tape to mask the edge of the skirting board that touches the floor.



4. Paint

Give your paint a thorough mix, and if you're using a roller for the first time, lightly cover it with water with a spray bottle. This reduces fluff and allows the roller to absorb more paint.



Brush in along the edges, then paint the entire floor with your roller. Apply two coats and check the can for drying times. More coats may be required if the color shift is dramatic.

5. Skirting


Cover your freshly painted floor and mask off the wall along the skirting board edges after it's absolutely dry. If required, use a sponge to smooth off the sealer along the skirting's edge where it meets the wall. Then, using a brush, paint two coats of your selected color and check the can for drying times between applications. Remove the masking tape with care and take a step back to admire your creation!
