Merbau Parquet Flooring Renovation Finished in Matt Sheen

Before the works...

The merbau parquet flooring in this Westminster office was overall looking tired and in desperate need of renovation. 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, floor repairs, gap filling, of 90 sqm merbau parquet flooring and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.

How we completed the renovation works...

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. 2 sqm of parquet flooring.

Parquet flooring restoration requires many years of experience, skills and the right floor sanding equipment. Depending on the overall condition of the floors, the initial parquet floor sanding may start with coarser or medium grid. The task of this step is not only to remove the previous finish and get the floors to bare wood, but also to provide a smooth level throughout the entire floor. Some older parquet floors may require more thorough work at this time.

Next stage in the process of floor refinishing was the application of the gap filling. We aim to apply the resin filler with saw dust in the second half of the working day, so it settles properly overnight and in case it is needed we can repeat it on the following day , if required. The filler is after that removed by next stages of the floor sanding process in 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 parquet flooring was consequently sealed with 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of Junckers HP500 Lacquer in matt sheen with another light screen buff between the coats, for an excellent final touch to the finish.
