How to get the perfect look
1. Preparation
On all surfaces cleaning is the most important step. Scrub all areas with Selleys® Sugar Soap and remove any dirt oil or grease.
2. Mixing
Mix the additive under the lid into the paint. Stir for 2-5 minutes with a broad flat paddle, until the additive is completely mixed into the paint.
3. Application
Apply at least two coats of Dulux Renovation Range Floors. Leave for a minimum of eight hours before re-coating. Note: Do not apply Renovation Range Clear Coat as final coat.
1. Preparation
Dulux Renovation Range Floors requires a clean surface to adhere to. All grease and dirt contamination must be removed or the paint will not adhere and will peel or flake off.
On all surfaces cleaning is the most important step. IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive cleaning detergents.
Scrub down all areas with Selleys® Sugar Soap and rinse with clean water to remove any dirt, oil or grease, including from grout lines. Use a plastic scouring pad on heavily contaminated surfaces.
Repeat this process using clean water, at least twice.
Completely remove any loose and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable hard epoxy-based filler such as Selleys® Knead-IT® Aqua.
Sand glossy and semi gloss finishes to a dull flat finish using p400 paper before coating.
Use a clean damp cloth to remove any dust.
Thoroughly clean surface using Selleys® Rapid Mould Killer™ and remove all silicone sealant from joints using Selleys® Silicone Remover.
Allow grout lines to dry for a minimum of 2 hours before painting.
Mask using a good quality painter's tape.
For the best quality finish, do not skip the cleaning step. Floor polishes containing wax or silicone additives MUST be completely removed prior to using Dulux Renovation Range.
2. Mixing
Add all of the Additive found underneath the blue lid to the primer first. When finished priming, repeat the process with the topcoat. Stir well for approximately 2-5 minutes with a broad flat paddle, using an up and down scooping action until the additive is completely mixed into the primer or the paint. Once mixed the primer is suitable to use for up to 3 days. The topcoat once mixed is suitable for up to 10 days.
3. Application
Primer
After the additive has been added and stirred, apply Dulux Renovation Range Primer. For full instruction see label.
Topcoat
After the additive has been added and stirred, apply at least two coats of Dulux Renovation Range Floors ensuring that the previous coat is left for a minimum of 8 hours before recoating.
Cut in as necessary using a 38–50mm high quality angled sash cutter brush.
Coat surface using a 4mm nap 100mm wide microfibre roller
Lay off. Once each section is coated, gently go over the surface in the same direction with an unloaded roller using minimal pressure. This will give a smooth consistent finish.
Note: Some colours may require more than 2 coats, especially when painting over dark colours. When applying to tiles the grout lines will be covered as well. To refresh or re-whiten grout lines use the Dulux Renovation Range Grout Pen.

FAQs
No, Dulux Renovation Range Tiles & Benchtops cannot be used on floors. Dulux Renovation Range Tiles & Benchtops does not contain any slip-resistant additives that is required on the floors in wet areas of the home. This means that the surface wet or dry will have substantially less slip resistance.
It is not advisable to apply Dulux Renovation Range Floors to timber floors. There is a complete range of suitable timber coatings available from the Dulux Woodcare range that are suitable for these applications.
Yes, Dulux Renovation Range Floors can be applied to properly cleaned and prepared concrete floors. New concrete should be left for a minimum of 28 days before coating. All concrete floors should be cleaned (Berger Jet Dry Active Clean) and acid etched (Berger Jet Dry Active Etch ) then rinsed and allowed to dry prior to coating with Dulux Renovation Range Floors.
Dulux Renovation Range products should be first applied to a small, inconspicuous area of any porcelain tile floor or wall area so that wetting behaviour and adhesion after 5 days can be checked. Some porcelain tiles are made with a very hydrophobic surface that tends to stop the Renovation Range products gaining the necessary adhesion.
