Parquet wood flooring and engineered stairs sanded and sealing
Before the renovation works...
The oak engineered wood flooring in this Ealing property was overall looking tired and in urgent need of restoration. During our obligation-free survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options.
After providing a detailed quotation & pricing, our client has decided to go for floor sanding, gap filling, of 13 sqm oak engineered wood flooring and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.
How the floor restoration was completed...
Engineered wood flooring is available in 3 options of thickness, each of which can have variable real oak wood top layer. The restoration of the pine parquet flooring floors will start with coarse grid to remove old finish and achieve good, flat level.
Next stage in the process of wood floor sanding was the application of the gap filling. We aim to apply resin filler 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 morning , if required. The putty is after that removed by next step of the finishing process with medium grids .
Sanding the floors with fine grids (80 - 120 gr) and a good rotary buff to the oak 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 Bona Traffic Lacquer HD in matt sheen with another light screen buff between the coats, for an excellent final touch to the finish.
Did you know this about pine flooring?
Pine is softwood timber widely used in construction for structural and finishing elements, due to its resilience to moisture. As a porous wood, rich in resins when its fresh, pine will shrink over time slightly, but it also changes colour and makes the original floorboards, which we love to repair & restore, such attractive asset to our environment.
