Can you paint hardwood floors.
You ve likely tackled a paint project at some point.
Although if you ve painted stairs you re already a step ahead.
If you use a roller you can load it in a paint tray the same way you would if you were painting walls.
You cannot paint a hardwood floor with standard latex paint.
Paint the floor with a roller or a paint pad on the end of a 4 foot extension pole.
When using a pad you may find it more efficient to pour the paint on the floor and drag the pad through it from one side of the room to the other.
Whether you ve schooled yourself on how to paint a room or tried your hand at painting kitchen cabinets you probably haven t painted a floor.
Yep those beat up old floors can become a great big blank canvas.
The thought of painting wood floors can be scary but if your hardwood floor is damaged or just ugly painting the floor can make it look great again.
Thank you for that.
If you decide you want your painted wood floors to be the same color as ours snap a pic of the label on the top of the paint can shown above and take that to your paint store.
Instead purchase a latex enamel that is specifically designed to be used on hardwood floors porches or decks.
I can t begin to tell you how many articles i ve read about painting worn out hardwood floors but yours is definitely the first one that made complete sense to me.
I d like to know if you can recommend a water based floor paint for me.
Thank you for this easy to read and very informative article.
