Bringing Old Teak Parquet Floors Back to Life by Woodfloorsanding in
Before the renovation works...
The teak parquet flooring in this Hemel Hempstead Property was overall looking tired and in desperate need of restoration. 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 54 sqm teak parquet flooring and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.
How the floor restoration was completed...
One of the challenges we experienced while working on this project, was the amount of furniture, which we had to work around in stages.
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 aim of this stage is not only to remove the previous finish and get the floors to bare wood, but also to provide a good 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 teak 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.
