How to paint concrete floors to cover cracks or stains

Share this project

A great way to clean up the appearance of a well used concrete floor is to give it a coat of paint. Not only will you be giving your floor a fresh new look, you’ll be adding a layer of protection as well. Specialized floor paint protects surfaces from spills and stains, and will provide a nonslip surface for safe walking. These hardworking floors require thorough preparation for a successful result.

Start with a super clean surface and repair cracks and holes. Not recommended for use on garage floors or carports that are subject to tire traffic. For preparation and painting instructions, click the links below for information from the paint experts at Sico and PPG.

Head out to your local TIMBER MART store to find the perfect floor and porch paint for your concrete floors.
