The best paint for wood floors

Wooden floors are used in private houses, cottages and summer cottages. With the help of boards of various sections, floor sheathing is performed in rooms, corridors. Interfloor ceilings and stairs are created from beams and boards. All this needs protection, for which wood paints have been developed. Here is a ranking of the best products in this category to look out for when choosing.

TIKKURILA BETOLUX AQUA

Rating: 4.9

The first place in the rating is taken by a paint from a Finnish manufacturer, produced on a polyurethane-acrylate base. This gives it strength and elasticity, which helps to reliably protect the wooden floor from damage from hard objects. The paint is diluted with water, so users like it in reviews for its ease of preparation and the absence of additional costs for a solvent. The product is produced in convenient containers from 0.9 to 18 liters.

This wood floor paint has made it to the rating due to its unpretentiousness. According to the instructions, it can be applied to an old varnish, epoxy or alkyd coating. The substance perfectly adheres to the old layers, does not destroy them and does not enter into a chemical reaction with them, which simplifies the process of surface preparation before work. If coloring agent is spilled on the dry floor, it can be wiped off with a mild solvent without damaging the coating.

Advantages

• suitable for floors in regular contact with moisture;
• diluted with water;
• 20 tinting options are provided;
• resistant to chemical attack;
• dries at 80% humidity.

disadvantages

• high price;
• with large volumes, you need to tint all the paint, otherwise it is more difficult to choose a shade later;
• if the can freezes during storage, then the paint becomes unusable.

Premium Prestige

Rating: 4.8

In second place in the rating is floor paint from a domestic manufacturer, which also has an alkyd-polyurethane base, like the leader of the category, but the price of the product is much more affordable. Due to the well-thought-out composition, the paint not only decorates the floor with its own color, but also impregnates the wood with varnish, additionally protecting it from moisture. After painting with one layer, the second one can be applied after 4 hours, which pleases the masters in the reviews, since you do not have to wait long. When dry, the surface takes on a glossy appearance and looks dignified. But there are few color options for floor paint – only yellow-brown shades.

Our experts ranked the paint as the best, as it is the most attractive option for the price. It is almost five times cheaper than imported analogues, although it has almost a similar composition. If you roll it out with a roller in a thin layer, then 750 g of the substance will take to paint over 5 m2.

Advantages

• the most affordable price in the rating;
• forms a moisture-resistant coating (you can paint the floor in the bathroom, corridor);
• high degree of gloss;
• increased resistance to impacts.

• dries up to 24 hours;
• can be used only at temperatures from +5 degrees;

Users in the reviews like three types of walnut shades (light, intermediate and medium), which allows you to decorate the floor depending on other colors in the interior. You can apply paint to the floor with a spray gun, brush or roller. Two coats are sufficient for optimal results. If repairs are not coming soon, but this paint came across at a good price, it makes sense to purchase it – the goods are stored for 24 months.

Our experts ranked the floor paint for its versatility in application. It is this type of paint that can be used not only for interior decoration, but also for exterior. So, it can be used to paint the floor on the terrace, wooden threshold or porch. A tool is also suitable for protecting boards in a street gazebo in the courtyard of a private house.

Tex PF-266

Rating: 4.7

In fourth place in the rating of paints is a product of a domestic manufacturer, which is released with an alkyd base without adding polyurethane. This made it possible to save on production and offer the buyer a product at an affordable price. It is allowed to paint the floor with a brush, spray gun or roller. Depending on this, the consumption is 1 liter per area from 9 to 12 m2, which users like in reviews. But to prepare the desired consistency, you will need a solvent (White spirit and others). Especially a lot of solvent is needed when using a spray bottle.

We rated the paint as the brightest for wood flooring. This is provided by the high density of the substance of 1.18-1.31 kg / l with a dry residue of 65-78%. There are six colors to choose from, ranging from yellow to brown. The surface is very glossy. The product also stands out for its transport characteristics – it is allowed to transport it in frosty conditions, which will not interfere with the purchase or delivery of paint to the place of repair in the cold season.

• applied in all ways;
• consumption 7-12 m2 per 1 liter;

Best Concrete Floor Paint

Uncovered concrete floors are used in garages, technical rooms, hangars, porches. A concrete floor screed is also used in basements, cellars and warehouses. To protect the cement-sand coating from dampness and to slightly decorate its appearance, floor paints with good adhesion to concrete and moisture resistance are used. Here are the top rated products in this category, rated by experts and included in our ranking.

Drylok Latex Concrete Floor Paint

Rating: 4.7

The first place in the ranking of concrete floor paints is taken by a product from the USA. The substance is designed for application to concrete and is resistant to mechanical stress. The paint has no toxic components in its composition. Due to the high density, the decorative layer masks small irregularities in the concrete floor, which is liked by the masters in the reviews. The product also adheres well to the base and is not prone to chips and cracks. Does not deteriorate from gasoline, alkali and acids.

We ranked the paint as the best for strength and durability. When applied in two coats on the floor, the coating can last up to 10 years without requiring any maintenance. On such a floor, it is allowed not only to walk with feet, but also to drive, which makes the paint suitable for use in warehouses where loading equipment operates. After painting, it is possible to move vehicles on the coating after 5 days. If road reagents remain on the wheels of the vehicle, they will not damage the paint.

Sniezka Beton-posadzka

This product is made from acrylic resin and water dispersion, which gives abrasion resistance and reliably protects the concrete base. The manufacturer offers shades of paint: gray, green, brown, red and three more options. The product is stored for up to 24 months, so repairs can be planned in advance and stock up on everything you need gradually. After drying, the surface takes on a matt effect. When developing the floor paint, high-quality pigments were used, so the coating keeps its color for a long time.

According to our experts, floor paint should be rated as one of the most water resistant. The acrylic composition tolerates precipitation well, so the product is suitable for painting the floor on an open balcony. The product is also resistant to repeated washing, which allows using the paint for application on concrete stairs in public places.

At +23 degrees, the paint dries in 1 hour from dust adhesion, and after 10 hours you can walk on it. It is recommended to apply two coats for optimal effect. The manufacturer produces it with a dry residue of 50% and a density of 1.2 kg / l. The goods are tinted according to the RAL system and many stores offer assistance in removing the desired shade.

We have included the paint in the rating as another product suitable for application to previously painted surfaces. If the concrete floor has been covered with alkyd paint, it does not have to be cleaned off, but Teknofloor Teknos can be applied on top.
