Floor sanding, gap filling of parquet flooring in Bromley
Before the restoration works...
The pine parquet flooring in this Bromley house 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, gap filling, of 17 sqm pine parquet flooring and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.
How the renovation of the floors went...
Parquet flooring renovation requires years of experience, skills and the right restoration 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 stage is not only to remove the previous finish and get the floors to bare wood, but also to provide a perfect level throughout the entire floor. Some older parquet floors may require more thorough work at this time.
Next stage in the process of floor renovation was the application of the gap filling. We aim to apply resin filler in late hours 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 pine 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 Bona Mega Lacquer in matt sheen with another light screen buff between the coats, for an excellent final touch to the finish.
