Merbau Hardwood Wood Flooring Restoration

Before the restoration works...

The merbau engineered wood flooring in this Clerkenwell Property was overall looking tired and in desperate need of renovation. 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 114 sqm merbau engineered wood flooring and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.

How we made it happen...

Engineered wood flooring is available in 3 options of thickness, each of which can have variable real merbau wood top layer. The restoration of the merbau 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 late hours of the working day, so it settles properly overnight and we can repeat it on the following morning , if required.

The filler 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 merbau 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 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.
