A full restoration of mosaic parquet finger flooring, sanded and refinished in Barnes
Before the works...
The beautiful rhodesian teak mosaic fingers flooring in this Barnes home was overall looking tired and in urgent need of restoration. During our free survey, we did a thorough inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options.
After providing details quote & pricing for parquet floor renovation works, our client has decided to go for floor sanding and gap filling of 25 sqm teak mosaic finger panels and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.
How the renovation of the floors went...
One of the challenges we experienced while working on this project, was the amount of furniture, which we had to work around in stages.
Next stage in the process of floor renovation was the application of the gap filling. We aim to apply the resin filler with saw dust in the second half of the working day, so it settles properly overnight and in case it is needed we can repeat it on the following day , if required. The resin gap filling is after that removed by next stages of the floor sanding process in medium grids .
Sanding the floors with fine grids (80 - 120 gr) and a good rotary buff to the teak timber surface with high grid buffing screens is the most important stage in the preparation of the wooden flooring for finishing.
The mosaic finger panels was consequently sealed with 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of Lacquer in matt sheen with another light screen buff between the coats, for an excellent final touch to the finish.
