Whitewashed finish on wooden floors and how to achieve it?
Hi and thank you for your question regaring whitewashed effect on wooden flooring.
Achieving whitewashed / nordic finish on engineered oak flooring during floor restoration service with the use of either stains, lacquers or by using precoloured oil-based products. You need to be aware that there will be a slight difference in the appearance of the whitewashed effect depending on whether it has been achieved by lacquer or oil.
If you decide to seal your floors with lacquer, whitewashed effect can be done in two ways. You can either use white pigmented primer like Bona White, or you can first apply white stain on the sanded floors and then coat it with multiple coats of clear lacquer. For our wood floor restoration service where staining is involved, we rely on some of the most popular products such as Bona Create Ice, followed by the application of three coats of waterbased Bona Mega lacquer in either matt, satin or gloss finish.
If you prefer to achieve the whitewashed effect using oil-based products, then you need to be aware that this will achieve less uniform appearance.

Can you install reclaimed parquet blocks in my house?
Installation of reclaimed parquet blocks, particularly ones that have been previously installed using black resin are very difficult to re-use and re-install. They also need a fair amount of parquet blocks restoration and preparation work to be done to clean them and prepare them before they can be re-fitted. This makes the whole process very time consuming and hence very expensive.
Therefore, you might be better off buying and getting new parquet flooring installed.
Also, bear in mind that installation of reclaimed parquet flooring may not result in the same smooth and uniform appearance, which you get with new parquet blocks.
Therefore, while we can install reclaimed parquet flooring, we would strongly advise you to first consider the option of having new parquet blocks, which may be cheaper and better option.
-
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.
