New flooring and carpet for stairs can often be an expensive investment. With Dulux Product Range you can quickly and easily transform your wooden floors or stairs, without spending a fortune. It’s even durable and easy to clean. • You’ll need: • Dulux Paint for floors and stairs • Brush • Roller • Paint tray • Paint stirrer • Sand paper, sanding block and possibly sander, dust mask and goggles • Masking tape • Degreaser • Cloth • Vacuum cleaner • Satin paint
Prepare If your wooden flooring or stairs have a coat of varnish or any loose or flaking paint, you’ll need to give a light sand to make the surface porous again. If your home has skirting, it’s also worth giving that a gentle sand too, as for best results, you’ll need to paint it after you’ve painted the floor. When sanding flat areas, it’s best to use a sanding block to help achieve a smooth and consistent finish. Once sanded and smooth, vacuum the area and wipe down sanded surfaces with degreaser to remove all traces of dirt, dust and grease Ensure the surface is dry and then mask the edge of the skirting board that meets the flooring or steps with tape.
Paint Begin by giving your paint a good stir, pour it into your tray and get painting. First, cut in around the edges using a brush. Then use your roller to paint larger surfaces of your floor or stairs. Follow the recommended drying time on the back of your paint tin and when your surface is ready, give it another coat and let it dry. When painting your floors or staircase and you’ve got skirting, it’s usually best to paint it too. So once your flooring or staircase is completely dry, protect the skirting with a dust sheet and then mask off the wall along the edges of the skirting board. Apply two coats of your chosen skirting color in satin paint with a brush and check the tin for information on drying times between coats.
