When your floor needs a fresh start
At last, floor paints in gorgeous colors!
An old wooden floor tells a story, but sometimes the story needs a chapter in a new color.
Painting a wooden floor is a quick and striking way to transform an entire space. With the right preparation and painting technique, you can create a durable, beautiful, easy-care floor that stands up to everyday life and admiring glances. Cheerful, colorful checks and stripes painted on the floor suit an old house. Use Peel & Stick color cards to choose your color.
Here you’ll find Frenchic paints and supplies for renewing the wooden floors in your home. Painting lets you freshen up the look of an old floor without replacing the entire floor.
Because the paints in our wall paint range are washable, they are well suited to painting wooden floors. Our wall paints have been awarded ISO certification, the highest possible scrub resistance rating of Class 1, and have won the award for best washable paint. The manufacturer has tested the wall paint for durability and confirmed that it is also suitable for painting wooden floors. Frenchic wall paint is suitable for painting wooden floors indoors, including in spaces that get cold in winter.
One 2.5-liter can of wall paint covers approximately 36 m2 with one coat. If your wooden floor is old and grooved or has been sanded back to bare wood, paint consumption is often higher than stated.

Can you paint an old wooden floor?
Yes, you can. Painting a wooden floor is a beautiful way to refresh an old floor and give your home a completely new feel.
A painted wooden floor suits old houses, cottages, and modern interiors alike. Small marks and signs of wear on an old floor can become part of the new surface’s character.
Which Frenchic paint is suitable for wooden floors?
We recommend Frenchic wall paint for wooden floors.
Frenchic wall paint offers:
• a beautiful matte finish
• a wide range of colors
• good adhesion to properly prepared wood
• a water-based, low-odor option
Frenchic Tuff Top Coat increases the floor’s wear resistance and provides extra protection for everyday use.
What types of floors can you paint?
With Frenchic products, you can refresh, for example:
• old plank floors
• wooden cottage floors
• bedroom floors
• home office floors
• wooden surfaces in indoor areas with lighter use
The floor is the largest piece of furniture in the home, even if we rarely think of it that way. When its color changes, the feel of the whole room often changes too.
How to successfully paint a wooden floor
Preparation is especially important when it comes to floors:
- Clean the floor thoroughly to remove dirt and grease
- Sand the surface to ensure good adhesion
- Remove all sanding dust
- Stir the paint well before use
- Apply at least two even coats
- Finish the surface with a protective coat of Tuff Top Coat
- Let the surface cure undisturbed before subjecting it to heavy use
Floors meet shoes, paws, chairs, and busy mornings. That’s why it’s worth giving them a little extra attention before putting them to use.
Frequently asked questions about painting wooden floors
Can you paint an old wooden floor?
Yes, you can. A wooden floor in good condition can be painted once the surface has been carefully cleaned and sanded.
Which Frenchic paint is suitable for floors?
We recommend Frenchic wall paint for wooden floors and, if needed, Tuff Top Coat finishing coat for the final finish.
Does a painted floor need a protective coat?
It depends on where it’s used. Floors in entryways and kitchens are subject to heavy wear, so Tuff Top Coat provides extra protection for the painted surface, while bedrooms and living rooms don’t need it.
Can you paint a varnished wooden floor?
Yes, you can. An old glossy varnished surface must be sanded thoroughly so the new coat of paint adheres well.
How long does a painted floor need to dry?
The paint dries quickly, but its full durability develops gradually. Avoid heavy use and moving heavy furniture while it cures.
