  My wooden floor looks absolutely beautiful. I didn’t have high hopes, because it is a pretty old floor, but I am delighted. Thank you so much for the work completed on time and as discussed initially. I don’t remember the names of the two guys that carried out the work, but I want to thank them for their politeness.

Do You Have a Question?

• 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.

• 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.

• What can go wrong with DIY floor sanding?

  Hi,

  Restoring your floor can be challenging without prior sanding experience and knowledge. Floor sanding requires specific skills that are typically gained through experience. Therefore, it's advisable to leave parquet floor sanding to professionals like FloorWorks, who have expertise in handling various flooring types and can prevent costly mistakes.

  If you decide to proceed on your own, research parquet floor sanding thoroughly. Key points to consider include the correct technique for applying the wood floor finish. After sanding the floors to a smooth finish, apply the first coat of varnish carefully, ensuring it dries fully before applying subsequent coats. Imperfections like blobs can occur if the surface isn't perfectly smooth and clean or if the old sealant isn't completely removed, necessitating an expensive re-sanding and re-varnishing.

  Additionally, note that if your parquet flooring has been sanded before, there might be limited chances for re-sanding, possibly requiring a complete floor replacement.

  Therefore, it is always recommended to leave the parquet floor sanding to a professional sanding company like Floorworks™ Sanding Co.
