Using this specific product
Little Greene Intelligent Floor Paint is listed here as the Semi-gloss floor paint (UK) version for wood floors, stairs, and concrete. For installing or finishing a floor, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.
Before you start
- Confirm the package says Semi-gloss floor paint (UK); related versions can use different timing.
- For wood floors, stairs, and concrete, pay particular attention to subfloor condition, trowel coverage, room temperature and traffic plan.
- At 38 microns dry per coat. Depends on film thickness and ambient conditions.
How to check readiness
Test the least-ventilated area before walking, covering or replacing furniture. Touch only a hidden edge first; a dry surface can conceal a soft layer underneath. Before recoating, confirm the first coat matches the manufacturer’s stated condition; if the maximum window passed, check whether sanding is required. Try a protected edge first and avoid turning, dragging or concentrated loads.
Avoid this mistake
Foot traffic, furniture and rugs can have different return times.
