Do You Have a Question?

• Should I use varnish or oil for my original pine floorboards?

  Hi and thank you for the question regarding the choice of sealant for pine floorboards.

  Pine is a softwood, and while it is possible to seal pine with both lacquers and hardwax oils, we always recommend using a hardwearing varnish when sanding and sealing this type of flooring. The reason is that pine tends to absorb oils, resulting in lower protection and durability for floorboards sealed with hardwax oils compared to those sealed with varnish. This is especially important when staining is required. Therefore, we recommend sealing stained pine floorboards with hardwearing varnish for better protection and durability.

  We hope that the above helps.

• Can you restore engineered wood flooring by polishing rather than sanding?

  Engineered wood flooring comes in various thicknesses of the top layer, ranging between 3mm and 6mm, which defines the number of times it can be sanded. You mention that your floors have already been sanded once, which means that if your flooring has the thinner top layer there might be a limited opportunity to sand it again. Having said that, if the previous sanding was properly done by a professional sanding company, this means that another sanding should be possible.

  Because your floors are in a bad condition, as you describe it, cleaning and polishing might not be applicable. This is a service that is used to maintain the existing sealant in order to extend its life until another sanding is required. Unless this is done before the condition of the flooring gets really bad, and before the sealant is actually worn out, it is not recommended. Cleaning and polishing is done to apply an extra coat of sealant, where the new coat bonds to the existing varnish and not to the bare wood. If the existing sealant has disappeared, then a proper sanding and re-varnishing will be required.

• Should I use varnish or oil for my parquet flooring?

  Thank you for your question regarding parquet floor restoration.

  Both lacquers and hardwax-oils can be used to seal parquet floors, but there are key differences to consider:

  Wood Floor Lacquers:

  • Durability: More hard-wearing and durable, providing long-lasting protection.

  • Ideal Use: Recommended for floors with high foot traffic.

  • Popular Products: Bona Mega, Bona Traffic, Loba Viva, Junckers HT700.

  • Solvent-Based Varnishes: Offer a thick layer of protection but emit strong odors, making them less suitable for residential use.

  Oil-Based Wood Finishes (Hardwax-Oils):

  • Maintenance: Less hard-wearing, requiring more frequent maintenance and recoating.

  • Aesthetic: Provide a more natural look and feel to the floors.

  • Popular Products: Osmo Polyx hardwax-oils.

  Choosing between the two depends on your specific needs for durability and aesthetic appeal.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• What details are need for a Quick Floor Sanding Quote?

  To provide a quick qoute over the phone or by email, we would need to know:

  1. the type of flooring you have

  2. how many square meters of flooring requires sanding and refinishing

  3. if any floor repairs are requited - missing or damaged blocks / planks

  4. if you would like to change the colour with floor staining service

  For written quotations, please provide your contact details and address of your property.

• How many coats of lacquer are included in your service?

  For domestic floor sanding services, we apply 1 coat of primer followed by 2 coats of lacquer. The final sheen options are extra-matt, matt, satin, and gloss.

  For floor sanding in public spaces (offices, schools, church halls), we use 1 coat of primer and 3 coats of commercial-grade lacquer, with sheen options including extra-matt, matt, and satin.

  Extra coats are available upon request, but we do not recommend more than 5 coats, including primer. You can find the full list of floor finishes we use here.

• Can you extend exsiting flooring over a fireplace hearth?

  Yes, if you are planning to remove a fireplace hearth and you have parquet flooring, floorboards or planked flooring we may be able to help. After the repairs, with matching the floor spare material, the floors will need to be sanded and refinished.
