Beautifully Restored Walnut Wood Flooring

Before the restoration works...

The walnut engineered wood flooring in this Hampstead property was overall looking tired and in urgent need of refinishing. During our obligation-free survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options.

Our client has decided to go for floor sanding of 80 sqm walnut engineered wood flooring and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.

How we completed the restoration works...

One of the challenges we experienced while working on this project, was the amount of furniture, which we had to work around in stages.

Engineered wood flooring is available in 3 options of thickness, each of which can have variable real walnut wood top layer. The restoration of the walnut floors will start with coarse grid to remove old finish and achieve good, flat level.

Sanding the floors with fine grids (80 - 120 gr) and a good rotary buff to the walnut timber surface with high grid buffing screens is the most important stage in the preparation of the wooden flooring for finishing.

The engineered wood flooring was consequently sealed with 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of Tover Home Maxi Lacquer in matt sheen with another light screen buff between the coats, for an excellent final touch to the finish. In this project, the client choose to preserve the untreated look of the walnut timber as much as possible, which was possible by skipping the solvent-based primer that is usually used in floor sanding & resealing services for walnut flooring.
