Restoration of Oak Hardwood Floors with Matt Finish

Before the restoration works...

The oak parquet flooring in this Lambeth flat was overall looking tired and in urgent need of renovation. 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, of 39 sqm oak parquet flooring and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.

How the floor restoration was completed...

Parquet flooring renovation requires many 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 aim 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.

Sanding the floors with fine grids (80 - 120 gr) and a good rotary buff to the oak 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.
