Painting cork floor tiles

wilsooon

In the past I've used cork tiles in my bathroom - they were self adhesive and already sealed, so not too much work involved. But they're not the most cheerful colour for a floor (although they made a phenomenal difference to the temp in a freezing cold bathroom).

Is there an easy way of painting them? Could I use ordinary emulsion or satinwood stuff, and if I did would I have to varnish on top to keep the paint looking good? Would I need floor paint, and if so should I varnish on top of that?

Hope someone can help, I love the warmth of cork tiles, just can't stand the colour, may have to go with laminate!

Could you overpaint with a couple of coats of coloured varnish to change the colour?

I agree with the warmth of the floor though, we had them in our last bathroom and i loved them but when it came around to redecorating there wasn`t much choice for changing the floor colour without taking up the tiles.
