Hello everyone. Today I want to tell you how the painting of a wooden floor was happening at me at the cottage. The fact is that if it is repaired in the apartment, then for many it is more expedient to put parquet or laminate on the floor, but for country and simple houses it is easier to make painting of the floor with your own hands. Despite the like light coloring process, this work is rather long and time-consuming. The joy is only that technologies do not stand still, and now there is an innovative paint for a wooden floor, which does not have a caustic smell and besides quick-drying. Why paint the wooden floor I will tell today.
Floor paint in the apartment
My acquaintance with quick paint
Wooden Paint
To begin with, I want to say that this paint is perfect for people living in the house or in the country during repairs. It is not a completely new material, although, despite this, not everyone is familiar. Remember how much the usual paint dry is dry? After that, the desire to perform in coloring hands is disappeared for a long time. An alternative to such a minus came quick-drying paint, the drying of which is possible only in a couple of hours. Let's consider all the advantages to which I drew attention when working with this paint:
- She does not have a strong and unpleasant odor.
- It is not harmful and therefore respiratory protection is not required
- It has anti-slip effect
- Acceptable price for material
- Not afraid of ultraviolet rays and does not fade under them
- Can be indoors after the floor painting
Quick-drying paints without smell can be immediately divided into two types. The difference of which, of course, in composition, so:
- The acrylic mixture is quite easy to use, driving quickly due to the oxidation of alkyd resins after applying to the surface. The formation of a solid film during drying indicates the strength of the material. Such paints are suitable not only for wooden floors, but also for other surfaces. When staining in several layers, the second is applied on average 4 hours after the first
- Polyurethane - to paint the floor with it will not make any problems, besides, it is wear-resistant and high abrasion strength will allow you to increase the service life of the finish. Such paint will give the floor perfect shine. I want to say that the polyurethane mixture can be used on the open terrace, as it is stable not only to the sunshine, but also to atmospheric precipitation
Important! For your sex, I chose polyurethane paint, but you must take into account that quick-drying mixtures for the floor and odorless exist both for concrete and wooden surfaces. Therefore, before buying, consider which floors will be born their hands.

Of course, a ready-made decorative floor plinth can be purchased in the store. It will have a definite color and you will just be installed. However, there are materials under painting and they also have enough advantages:
- Plinth Outdoor has a smooth surface
- The layers of primer are applied on the bar in the manufacturing process, which means to rebar down in painting with your own hands, you do not have to
- The material is still durable as its color analog
- Installation is simple and performed using adhesive solutions, screws or liquid nails
Selecting the paint for the plinth, look at its composition. Latex and acrylic waterproof paints perfectly cope with such work, quickly dry and almost do not smell. Choosing the color of the base for the floor at the cottage, repel not only from the shade of the floor, but also from the overall interior. Recently, it became fashionable to fashionably paint outdoor plinth in the color of the door and the arches, thereby extending them and merging into one. However, in the case of simple and modest design, it is possible to paint the plinth in the color of the floor covering. In any case, make all the work with your own hands after making the planks. Thus, painting will get more thorough and neat.
By the way, do not allow my mistake and make painting a wooden plinth, before painting the wooden floor. Do not rush to paint the decor element and proceed to the following tasks, it is better to apply a quick-drying mixture into several thin layers. It is better to make 2-3, but thin layers than in the future re-repainting the surface or be content with poor painting.
Painting outdoor coverage in the country
Floor paint quick-drying
Quick-drying paints are quite simple to apply on the floors in the rooms. But if it is a wooden floor, then make some preparatory actions:
- Coating need to proliferate - wooden surfaces are always uneven
- Process the floor by primer solution
- The remaining irregularities are covered, and then set the skin
- Apply the primer to the covered places
- Now you can begin to apply quick-drying paint odorless. In my case, polyurethane paint was used. The application tool will serve as a small pile roller and tassels for hard-to-reach places
- If necessary, then after the first layer we apply the second. But do not forget that you need to wait for a complete drying of the initial
Important! I painted the floor from the tree inside your home, and the polyurethane paint helped me perfectly in this, but for staining the terrace it is worth picking up a quick-drying mixture without a smell that can be used for external work.

For many, the question is how to wash and what to wash fresh floors is very relevant. The fact is that after painting outdoor coverage, you need to stick to some tips and wash it with a simple technology.
Each coloring mixture has a different duration of drying, so stick to the instructions written on the package. In any case, I do not advise you to wash the floor earlier than 4 days after staining with ordinary, and not quick-drying paints without smell. You never need to wash the surfaces of soapy water or with the addition of soda. These elements worsen the appearance of paint, and it becomes more faded.
Wash half the first time after dyeing need warm water, in which a little vinegar is added - usually it is 1-2 tablespoons. Soft cloth wipe the surface with acetic solution twice. This method allows you to wash the floor to remove the oil layer. Many manufacturers write on their products, how to wash and care for the finished finish, so pay attention to the instructions on the quick-drying paints without odor.
