Due to long-term exposure, the linoleum that covers the floors can crack and change color. Here and there, you can see dents from heavy furniture.
In this case, the logical solution would be to replace the flooring, but there is another, although not as effective, but quite suitable way to refresh the interior - painting, reminds the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino .
If you decide to resort to paint, it is worth paying attention to one very important point: due to the fact that the material is highly elastic, it is worth using rubber paint on a latex basis for this purpose.
First, clear the room where you plan to do the renovation work from things, then wash the floors and seal the joints with masking tape.
If cracks and holes were found in the coating, they should be filled with putty. After the putty has dried, a primer will need to be applied.
Now, having thoroughly mixed the paint, apply the first layer using a roller. It is worth moving from the far corners of the room towards the exit.
After at least 10 hours, apply the second layer in the same sequence. All that remains is to wait for complete drying, and you can begin to use the floor to its full extent.
