Frequently asked questions

How do I Paint an Interior Floor?

Some interior floors are hardwood, some are laminate, and others are plain concrete. When it comes to floor painting, it really pays to have the job done professionally. It is a difficult area of the home to paint and when it isn't properly prepared can head to the peeling and chipping of the substrate. Tikkurila have a range of products for flooring but we always recommend seeking technical advice from our team first. Some of our options are noted below.

Primers

Otex Akva (for bare wood)

Intermediate

Multistop Internal blocking primer if required (ensure left to dry for 24 hours before topcoat)

Lacquering Options for concrete

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.
