Preparation

Always ensure the surface to be painted is clean and free from any dust, dirt and grease that may affect adhesion.

Concrete and Stone Floors

Newly laid concrete has to be left a month to set. After a month prepare the floor by brushing with a wire brush and removing any dust.
To prevent cracking or blistering seal with a suitable stabilising solution. Alternatively add 10% water to the first coat of Ronseal's Diamond Hard Floor Paint.
Previously painted stone or concrete can be brushed with a wire brush and then wiped with white spirit.

Wood Floors

Sand the floor with a 120 grit sandpaper to leave a smooth surface.
Vacuum any dust and then wipe the floor with white spirit.
Fill any holes with a suitable filler and seal any knots with a knot blocker such as .

Application

We recommend performing a test to ensure compatibility with the surface to be painted, always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.

Stir the paint to ensure all the pigment is thoroughly mixed.
Apply using a brush or roller and start in the corner that is furthest from the door.
When painting wooden floorboards focus on two or three at a time to avoid overlap marks and paint in the direction of the wood grain.
Allow the first coat to dry for 4-6 hours and apply a further 2 coats.
After 4-6 hours you can walk across your floor and carefully move furniture back in. However, we recommend allowing 72 hours before subjecting the floor to heavy use.

Aftercare & Storage

Cleaning

General cleaning will keep your floor in good condition, vacuum and sweep up any dirt that may cause scratches and use a damp cloth to clean up spillages.

For a deep clean, a floor cleaning solution will keep your floor looking as good as new. Do not use household cleaners or detergents as these could deteriorate the surface over time.
