Q I’d like to lighten up my décor by painting my wooden floor in a white shade. Is this an easy job for a DIYer and what do I need to know?

AKate Sitch, Marketing Manager for Ronseal, has this advice…
Painting a wooden floor is an easy way to brighten up your home and create a fresh, clean finish. As well as looking great, using the right paint can help to protect the surface against wear and tear. Ronseal’s Diamond Hard floor paint in white is perfect for creating a solid white finish on all kinds of floors. Or why not try a white-washed effect and use our floor varnish in white ash?
Preparation is key. Before you begin check the surface that needs to be painted – sealing any knots in the floor with Ronseal knot block wood primer and filling cracks with Ronseal multipurpose wood filler. Then use a brush, or Ronseal’s Perfect Finish floor pad to apply the paint.
