Renovate and paint black over laminate engineered floor in kitchen
Posted: Sun Apr 17, 2016 5:12 pm
I have a hardwood (engineered) laminate floor in my kitchen.
It has few broken pieces, and there are now gaps between some of them (see photo here: http://i.imgur.com/Isa6B1Y.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/fyi7bYy.jpg). It doesn't look good, and I have been placing a rug over it, but I have discovered that rugs do not belong to kitchens. Additionally, there are other scratches I would like to get rid of (http://i.imgur.com/MbYkl5f.jpg).
The kitchen walls are built on top of it, and it would be very difficult to replace the whole floor.
I am looking for an easy, decent solution and I have thought of the following one:
1. Sand it first,
2. Apply paste between the pieces that have space between them,
3. Paint black, to make it these fixes less visible.
I am not sure the black is a good choice, and if there are better alternatives.
I have in mind a muddy black, not the shiny / sticky one you can get with varnish.
Does this make sense? Any suggestion on the material to use?
Thanks
