Your Questions Answered..

• Should I use varnish or oil for my original pine floorboards?

  Hi and thank you for the question regarding the choice of sealant for pine floorboards.

  Pine is soft wood and while it is possible to seal pine with both laquers and Harwax Oils, we would always recommend the use of hardwearing varnish when sanding and sealing this type of flooring. The reason for this is that pine tends to absorb oils, which means that pine floorboards sealed with hardwax oils will have lower level of protection and durability compared to those sealed with varnish. This is particularly the case where staining is required. Therefore we would recommend stained pine floorboards to be sealed with hardwearing varnish.

  We hope that the above helps.

• Can you recommend hardwax-oil product for re-oiling?

  Hi James, the right product for regular recoating is maintence oil, which contains less solids than regular hardwax-oil products and therefore is easier to work with. However, re-oiling with normal hardwax-oil is absolutely fine and most popular and easy to work with products on the market are Osmo Polyx and Bona Hardwax-Oil.

  Bare in mind these are slow drying sealants (4-8 hours). Osmo offers a quicker drying version - couple of hours quicker, Osmo Polyx Rapid.

• What can go wrong with DIY floor sanding?

  Hi,

  Doing floor restoration yourself might be a tricky thing to do unless you have some sanding experience and knowledge. Floor sanding requires particular skills which can only be obtained through experience. Therefore, we always recommend leaving the sanding of your parquet flooring to the experts like FloorWorks, who are experienced in sanding different types of flooring nad have the skills to avoid costy mistakes.

  However, if you are certain that you want to give it a try, make sure that you do some research about parquet floor sanding. One particular thing that you need to be aware of is the technique of proper allication of the wood floor finish. Once floors are sanded to a smooth finish, carefully apply the first coat of varnish, allowing sufficient time for it to dry before the next application of the following coat. Sometimes, when when the floor surface was not perfectly smooth and clean before the application of varnish or in cases where the existing sealant has not been entirely removed, blobs can appear after the sanding. This might be a very expensive thing to ractify as it would require an entire re-sanding and re-varnishing of the floors. Bear in mind that if your parquet flooring has already been sanded in the past, there might be a limited opportunity to re-sand agai, which may mean that an overall replacement of the flooring might be required.

  Therefore, it is always recommended to leave the parquet floor sanding to a professional sanding company like {{ organisation:name }}.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• Can I book floor sanding service on a weekend?

  Yes, our sanding and sealing service is available to book throughout the weekend, however these works are noisy and usually noise restrictions apply in flats and residential areas with blocks.

  If you property is a house, we highly encourage to inform your neighbours for the upcoming works.

• How long does it take before the floors can be used again after sanding service?

  During the restoration service, the floors can handle light traffic without disrupting the process.

  During the sealing process, the floors can be walked on between coats.

  After the final coat is applied, foot traffic can be handled after 2 hours for lacquered floors and (depending on air humidity / season) 5-8 hours for hardwax-oil.

  Furniture should go back in place on the following day.
