<\/span> DIWALI HOME GUIDE<\/span>

The sit-out and verandah are where Diwali happens: rangoli at the door, diyas along the edge and guests arriving. A worn, stained floor spoils the picture. Here is how to repaint it properly before the festival.<\/p>

Short answer:<\/strong> To paint a sit-out or verandah floor before Diwali, use a dedicated floor coat, not wall paint. Clean the floor thoroughly, remove oil and loose paint, repair cracks, and let the surface dry completely. Apply the floor coat in thin, even coats and keep people off it until it has dried fully. Finish at least a few days before Diwali so the floor is ready for rangoli and diyas. Everguard Floor & Roof Coat is built for floors, driveways and terraces, with a glossy finish that needs no clear coat.<\/p><\/div>\n

Why does a sit-out floor need floor paint?<\/h2>\n

Wall paint is not designed for feet, chairs, footwear and two-wheelers. On a floor it scuffs, peels and wears through quickly. A floor coat is formulated to take traffic, sun and water.<\/p>\n
