Repairs, Sanding & Staining Maple Engineered Flooring in Dark Wenge Colour

Before the restoration works...

The maple engineered wood flooring in this Ealing 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, staining, of 25 sqm maple engineered wood flooring and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.

How the renovation of the floors went...

Engineered wood flooring is available in 3 options of thickness, each of which can have variable real maple wood top layer. The restoration of the maple 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 maple 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 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 maple flooring?

Maple is hardwood in a light beige colour, commonly confused with beech, which however can have very hazy character and grain. Unique for the smoothly finished maple surface is its specific glazing and reflection of light, which changes with the angle of reflection. Staining maple timber & floors can have unexpected appearance and viewing samples before application is always recommended.
