Paper Bag Flooring Over Concrete
I love my brown paper bag floors.
Paper bag flooring over concrete. Concrete floors even when painted give a room a cold uninviting feel. We also applied paper bag flooring over hard vinyl tile with success. To not have to rip up the floor after killing my back because it looked cheap and stupid.
Paper bag flooring application after the floor is prepped tear and crumple 6 to 8 inch paper wads from a roll of brown craft paper the material used in brown paper lunch bags. Repeat until you have covered the floor but don t have any overlapping stones on the floor. Spritz the top of the paper with a shimmer mist like the one pictured in the image below.
Less than 100 to do a normal sized dining room floor. Brown paper bags you know the stuff. Brush or roll on a few coats of.
The rest of my house kitchen baths dining room breakfast room are tile. At first i was spreading some straight glue on the concrete in small sections and they laying the wet with glue paper down. Paper will ripple a little while drying but mine was mostly flat after drying.
In this case scrub the floor with tsp to remove. Mine were about 12 inches or so in diameter. Wait for it to dry.
Once dry give it a coat of polyurethane. I have some marks and nice from the grandsons and will eventually replace it with tile or hardwood. Carpeting tile or wood flooring spruces up the room but may not fit into a household budget.
