Wow! I never thought of painting my wood floors. I have a rental with some hardwood floors that are in rough shape (animal stains and who knows what else) and I figured I was gonna be due for sanding and re-staining the floor. This looks to be ideal.

I painted and sealed a kitchen floor about 10 years ago. After several years the polyurathane wore through in small areas where we walked often. This meant the paint was exposed and then this wore though so you could see the wood. You could see that the polyurathane had yellowed so it was impossible to recoat the wood to match the polyurathaned surface.
I have recoated the polyurthane with a special undercoat that sticks to shiny surfaces. I’m going to paint the floor with 3 coats of gloss paint and not seal it. When it starts to look worn in places I will touch up the worn areas.
Has anyone tried this?
Also don’t use a waterbased polyurathane. My sister tried it and it lifted off the floor when she washed it.

We bought a house about four years ago; it’s now 107 years old, and has of course been updated in various ways. The people who sold the house to us had put some inexpensive carpet upstairs, which I wanted to tear out, but we had other priorities first. Now the carpet is looking atrocious, but when we pulled it up around the edges, we learned that there is plywood underneath it. We cannot afford to buy quality hardwood flooring at this point in time, and I like the idea of painted wood floors. Would there be any was to apply some sort of surface to the plywood that could then be painted?

There are many sure fire ways of making floors interesting in a creative way. The flooring industry has a lot of products available and floor service providers are within reach if you lack time to do-it-yourself. Floors are an investment and every possible solution in making the flooring become better is definitely welcome.

Thanks! My husband has been wanting to paint out hardwood floors that we discoverd under the carpet in the home we are remodeling. Now I will say yes!

Thing is, mostly they are not “lovely hardwood floors” but bog standard pine floorboards and if they are old enough, tend to be orange. No loss there.

Some men, maybe. My other half is fine with me painting the whole stairs and upper floor of our house – in a neutral colour, but then our living room is deep purple. Guess I just got lucky with a sensible bloke…
