Before the works...
The maple parquet flooring in this South Croydon house was overall looking tired and in desperate need of refinishing. During our 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, gap filling, of 42 sqm maple parquet flooring and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.
How we made it happen...
Parquet flooring renovation requires years of experience, skills and the right wood floor restoration equipment. Depending on the overall condition of the floors, the initial parquet floor sanding may start with coarser or medium grid. The purpose of this stage is not only to remove the previous finish and get the floors to bare wood, but also to provide a smooth level throughout the entire floor. Some older parquet floors may require more thorough work at this time.
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 late hours 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 filler 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 maple timber surface with high grid buffing screens is the most important stage in the preparation of the wooden flooring for finishing.
The parquet flooring was consequently sealed with 1 coat of primer and 3 coats of Bona Mega Lacquer in matt sheen with another light screen buff between the coats, for an excellent final touch to the finish.
