It is particularly important when painting interior floors to allow the paint to dry and cure before use. Consult the technical data sheet of each individual product for details but in general, you should be able to walk gently on the floors within the first few days, but it can take several weeks before the paint is fully cured.

When can I put furniture on to this floor after painting

Betolux Akva is ready for use the following day (for light traffic), but does not reach it's full hardness and durability for 2 weeks from painting so care will need to be taken when placing the furniture back if any ealier than this.
