Alternative Ronseal Products

Ensure that floors to be coated are clean, dry and free of dust and other surface contaminants, and that the room temperature is above 10°C.

Bare Wood Floors

• Make good any holes and other imperfections with Ronseal High Performance Wood Filler, Ronseal Multi Purpose Wood Filler or other suitable wood filler
• Bare wood floors must be sanded back with 120 grit sandpaper to give the wood an even finish and to aid adhesion
• Vacuum the floor after sanding to remove all traces of sanding dust and debris and wipe down with white spirit prior to painting
• Seal any knots in floorboards with a suitable knotting solution, such as Ronseal Knot Block Wood Primer and Undercoat

Previously Painted Wood Floors

• Remove any loose or flaking paint with a stiff brush, then sand with a 120 grit paper to provide a key
• Vacuum the area to remove all traces of sanding dust
• Wipe the area with White Spirit to remove any traces of grease, oil or dirt if required

Concrete and Stone Floors

• Ensure that newly laid concrete has been left to dry for a month before application
• Sweep the floor and remove all traces of dust with a vacuum cleaner
• To prevent any reaction between the concrete and paint occuring, seal the floor with a Stabilizing Solution, or pour some of the paint into a container and dilute with 10% water

Previously Painted Concrete Floors

• To help the paint adhere to the floor, sweep then vacuum the area thoroughly to remove all traces of surface dust and debris
• Then wipe with white spirit and leave to dry before coating with Diamond Hard Paint

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Please Note: The colour of these paints looks significantly different in the tin when first opened and before stirring. For example, the black paint looks a strong medium blue and the Terracotta looks a creamy yellow. Stir the paint thoroughly to mix the pigments. The paint dries to relevant colour once applied. Continue to stir the paint periodically during application to ensure a consistent colour.

1. Apply Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor Paint with a synthetic brush, microfibre roller or paint pad
2. For best results, start in the corner of the room furthest from the door
3. When painting wooden floorboards, work on 2 floorboards at a time to avoid overlapping and finish in the same direction as the wood grain
4. Apply 2-3 coats dependent on the coverage and colour, leaving 4-6 hours between each coat

Regular Cleaning

For general everyday cleaning, floors can be dry swept with a broom or floor brush and then vacuumed.

Deep Cleaning

For deeper cleaning, use a damp (not wet) lint-free cloth or mop and an appropriate floor cleaning solution. Avoid using household cleaners and detergents where possible, as these may degrade the finish or potentially ruin it over time.

Maintenance

To maintain the finish, simply apply a fresh coat of Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor Paint as required, following the Preparation and Application instructions.

Repair

For localised areas that are showing signs of wear, these can be patch repaired by first cleaning, then applying a fresh layer of Diamond Hard paint to the affected area.

Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor Paint is not suitable for use over laminate floors, pre-finished floors, or ceramic tiles. Why not call our Woodcare Experts on 01303 213838 to discuss your options.

Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor Paint is ideal for use over most hard or soft woods, as well as hardboard, chipboard, wood composite, concrete, brick and stone.

If the timber is bare wood, we recommend using something Ronseal Knot Block Wood Primer and Undercoat before use to ensure even coverage and adhesion of the Floor Paint.

This paint is available in Tile Red, Slate, Black, White, Pebblestone and Cream. If you require a colour not listed on our website, please get in touch with our Woodcare Experts to discuss your options on 01303 213838.

We would not recommend applying this on vinyl as it would not adhere very well. Instead, consider Bedec Acrylic Floor Paint as a better solution.
