Ugly floor

Mis467076 on Sep 02, 2014Laura, you can use a primer by Zinzer, for any surface. You will have to prep the floor, then apply the primer. Paint any color you want. You can even make a large scale stencil and paint on the floor. Then seal with a recommended amount of poly acrylic. Viola'.Helpful Reply

Chris aka monkey on Sep 02, 2014@Laura Sparks there are floor paints also and i was thinking like tammy that pattern showing through on a colored floor would probably surprise you in how good it would look like embossed tin i think...if you don't think you would like it if you have a concrete slab underneath you could scrap it off and paint the concrete good luck xxHelpful Reply

Sally-Charles Evans on Dec 27, 2015I agree with Chris aka monkey. Warm the flooring and get a garden scraper (looks like a hoe that was never bent) and scrape up that nasty flooring. It's a lot of work but worth it in the end.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Dec 28, 2015If it is firmly attached, just lay new over the top. You can get fairly inexpensive stick down tile, or paint.Helpful Reply

Barb on May 21, 2016You could paint it or perhaps put carpet tiles down. Buy extra so if you spill you can just take up the messed up tiles and replace with new.Helpful Reply
