Your Questions Answered..

• Should I use varnish or oil for my parquet flooring?

  Thank you for your question regarding parquet floor restoration.

  Both, lacquers and hardwax-oils can be used to seal parquet floors. However, there are some differences between the two types of wood floor sealants that you need to be aware of before you make up your mind.

  Wood floor lacquers are more hard-wearing and durable sealants providing long lasting protection for parquet floors. Theay are highly recommended for floors, which are subject to high level of foot traffic. Some popular products, which we regularly use for our parquet floor restoration services include Bona Mega, Bona Traffic, Loba Viva and Junckers HT700 lacquers. There are also solvent based varnishes on the market, which also provide a thick layer and higher level of protection. However, they emit strong odour and are therefore a less popular choice for residential properties.

  In comparison, oil-based wood finishes such as hardwax-oils are less hard-wearing and require more frequent maintenance and recoating. However, they make the floors look and feel more naturally appealing.  Some of the most popular products that we use for our wood floor re-oiling products include Osmo Polyx hardwax-oils.

• Do you do restoration of stairs and banisters?

  Yes, we would be more than happy to help with the restoration of your stairs and banisters.Bear in mind that stairs and banisters restoration is a more time consuming compared to restoration of other areas of wooden flooring as majority of the work needs to be done manually. It also requires a great deal of care and attention to details, therefore it is always a good idea to leave this to a rpofessional floor sanding company liek FloorWorks instead of trying to do it yourself.

• Can I seal domestic wooden floors with commercial grade floor lacquer?

  Hi and thank you for your question about the use of commercial grade floor lacquer or oil in domestic properties. The quick answer is yes. However, there are several things you need to consider when choosing the most appropriate floor sealant for your floors.

  Once the floors are properly sanded to a smooth finish, it is extremely important that lacquer is applied right away to ensure that the bare timber is protected from any accidental spillages. Choosing the best type of sealant requires not only consideration of how the floors are expected to be used, but also how often you will be bale to maintain them in the future. While lacquers provide a more durable and hard wearing sealant, it is important to note that they do not allow for local scratch repairs and once floors are damaged, they would need a total resanding and revarnishing. Therefore, some customers prefer the use of wood floor oils, such as Osmo Oils to seal their floors. While oiled floors allow some minor floor scratches to be repaired and reoiled locally, without the need of overall sanding, it is important to note that they do require a regular wood floor re-oiling service to maintain the sealant.

  Should you decide to go for a lacquer rather than oil, we would recommend the commercial grades of some renown varnish producers such as Loba Varnishes, Bona Lacquers and Junckers sealants, which we regularly use for our floor restoration services as they provide high level of protection and durability.

  We hope this information was helpful and don't hesitate to contact us if you need any further assistance or if you would like to book our floor restoration service.

• Do you replace original floorboards with seasoned / reclaimed material?

  Yes, in our floorboards repairs service we only work with seasoned pine material, which will reflect the age and colour of your existing boards as closely as possible. This ensures a seamless integration with your current flooring.
