When painting any floor drying time is a huge factor in what paint you choose. You need to know how long it will be until you can walk on the freshly painted floor.
So how long does it take to dry? Well, the honest answer is it depends, each brand can have completely different drying times to others.
For this reason, I have picked out the most popular floor paints and gathered all of their drying times. This way you get a nice and easy way to see them all in one place.
