Engineeered Oak Flooring Renovation with Stairs Restoration

Floor sanding of stairs in Pimlico

Before the works...

The oak stairs in this Pimlico house was overall looking tired and in serious 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 35 sqm oak stairs and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.

How we made it happen...

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

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 stairs was consequently sealed with 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of Bona Mega Lacquer in matt sheen with another light screen buff between the coats, for an excellent final touch to the finish.

Did you know this about oak flooring?

Oak is the king. It is hard, beautiful and resilient. While all other timbers may change colour and shape with time, oak does not (or very little) - it is eternal. Because its quite popular, oak planks and blocks, are available in various sizes when repairs to oak floors and parquet are needed.
