Before the restoration works...
The oak engineered wood flooring in this Central London flat was overall looking tired and in desperate need of refinishing. During our obligation-free survey, we did a thorough inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options.
Our client has decided to go for floor sanding, staining, of 25 sqm oak 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 oak wood top layer. The restoration of the oak floors will start with coarse grid to remove old finish and achieve good, flat level.
Our team prepared few samples on the unfinished sanded timber surface for the client to approve prior to application of the finish. The client chose to go for a beautiful stain colour to compliment the room interior.
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 engineered wood flooring was consequently sealed with 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of Bona Traffic Lacquer in matt sheen with another light screen buff between the coats, for an excellent final touch to the finish.
