Painting floorboards is a great way to update a room on a budget – especially if you have the time to tackle the job as a DIY project. Ideally, you should use floor paints for a long-lasting finish, but most good quality paints suitable for woodwork will give you a surprisingly tough floor.
What type of paint do you use on floorboards?
The best type of paint to use is a chalk paint. For this project Rust-oleum Chalky Finish Floor Paint has been used. It’s a hardwearing paint that can be applied directly over old paint and varnish.
Does painting wood floors ruin them?
Oil-based paints are more durable than latex enamel varieties, but some states have banned interior use of oil-based paints due to the harmful fumes it emits. Depending on the type of paint used and the amount of foot traffic through the room, a painted wood floor can begin to peel, crack or chip in just a few years.
