Need Help! I have a laminate walnut floor.?

Question

It gets scratched very easily. If i pull out a chair, etc. Can i strip the floor and repaint it? Any suggestions?

Answer 1

The suggestion to buy felt pads is a good one. I thought everybody did just that.

To fix the scratches, you can use furniture restorer polish. It's usually sold in small tubes, in places such as B&Q, Homebase, and the like. Follow the instructions carefully.

Don't even think about re-painting !

Answer 2

Your laminate floor will curl up as it dries if you paint it. Buy some scratch remover and get felt pads under your furniture.

Answer 3

the upside to laminate is its very hard wearing

the downside is its not repairable

like most finishes easy to apply and strip means not durable (wax) , difficult to apply and strip means it is durable ('varnish')

the coating is very thin and the decorative effect beneath is a printed layer, its incredibly thin. if you sand it the print will be destroyed

Answer 4

next time i suggest you purchase some felt pads and stick them on the chair legs,most DIY stores sell them.

as for repainting i have no idea
