Parquet Wood Flooring in Matt Lacquer

Before the restoration works...

The teak parquet flooring in this Wimbledon house was overall looking tired and in serious need of restoration. During our 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, gap filling, of 51 sqm teak parquet flooring and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.

How the renovation of the floors went...

Our floor restoration service begins with detailed inspection of the floors and any repairs to the parquet flooring will be completed in this initial stage. In this project approx. we have repaired approx. of parquet flooring.

Parquet flooring restoration requires years of experience, skills and the right wood floor sanding 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 excellent level throughout the entire floor. Some older parquet floors may require more thorough work at this time.

Next stage in the process of floor restoration was the application of the gap filling. We aim to apply the resin filler with saw dust in the end of the working day, so it settles properly overnight and we can repeat it on the following morning , if required. The resin gap filling 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 teak 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 Junckers HT700 Lacquer in matt sheen with another light screen buff between the coats, for an excellent final touch to the finish.
