Can you paint over hardwood floors.
Dark or light tint warm or cool hue with paint you can quickly align your floors with the rest of your decor.
Instead purchase a latex enamel that is specifically designed to be used on hardwood floors porches or decks.
For instance in an open plan layout i think that you really need to paint all of the floors.
Not saying you need to get to bare wood but you cannot just paint over it.
If you need to make a change i would use a different material like a stone for instance in the entry.
Keep in mind that whatever color you choose will thin out and become lighter as people walk on the floor over time.
It depends on the room and the layout.
However provided that there is no gloss or finishing product on the latex painted floors you can paint directly over it.
If latex has any gloss or shine to it you will need to sand it first.
Painting wood stairs and floors requires the same preparation as for any interior paint job.
You cannot paint a hardwood floor with standard latex paint.
A long handled roller and an angled brush for cutting in around.
