Do You Have a Question?

• Can you recommend hardwax-oil product for re-oiling?

  Hi James,

  For regular recoating of engineered wood flooring, maintenance oil is recommended as it contains fewer solids than regular hardwax-oil products, making it easier to apply. However, using normal hardwax-oil for re-oiling is also common and effective. Popular and user-friendly products include Osmo Polyx and Bona Hardwax-Oil.

  These products typically have slow drying times, ranging from 4 to 8 hours. For a quicker option, Osmo offers the Polyx Rapid, which dries a few hours faster.

• 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.

• How often to re-wax my wooden flooring?

  Hi Jim,

  For higher traffic areas like hallways, kitchen / dining room, living room re-oiling of the wooden floors is recommended every 18 - 24 months. For bedrooms, upper landing and areas with less use, this can be every 4-5 years.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• Do you do re-oiling of wooden floors?

  Yes. We provide re-oiling / re-waxing service for wooden floors, with original oil-based finish. We can also do a site visit to assess if the condition is applicable for re-oiling service or if floor sanding and refinishing will be required instead.

  Please be prepared with some photos as well, showing the condition of the floors.

• Can I book floor sanding service while I am away on business or holiday?

  Permanent personal presence is not required during the time of the floor sanding works and we offer key collection and return service.

  However, we strongly advise that either yourself or a representative on your behalf is available when required for decisions related to colour, finish and furniture, which will require moving around by our team.

  Also, please note that while we take all reasonable care to ensure that your property is safe and secure, we are not responsible for guarding your property, particularly when there are other builders on site. Therefore, please make sure that you discuss any particular arrangements with us in advance if you are planning to be away during a floor sanding service.

• How many coats of oil are included in your service?

  Our sanding and oiling service includes 2 coats of clear hardwax-oil or 1 coat of colour oil followed by 1 coat of clear oil. Ocassionally we can increase the number of coats depending on the timber species we are sealing.
