Do You Have a Question?

• How can I do a whitewashed finish on my wooden floors?

  You can achieve a durable whitewashed effect on your engineered wood flooring with both lacquers and oil-based products if you choose the right product and apply it properly. The choice of lacquer or oil will define the final appearance.

  Achieving whitewash effect with lacquer will result in a more uniform colour. This is done by either by mixing a white colourant with a clear lacquer / primer, use ready-mixed primer, or by applying white stain on the sanded floors, followed by the application of multiple coats of clear floor lacquer on top. For our floor restoration projects where staining to whitewashed finish is required, we use mainly white pigmented primers by Bona or Junckers.

  Oil-based products have ready-mixed stains and colours in various shades of white - available from all major brands - Osmo, Blanchon, Woka, Loba, Bona, Rubio Monocoat, Treatex and more. Hardwax-oils colours create more prominent grain than lacquers - main difference between the two finishes. Clear coat on top is required after the application of the colour, except for Rubio, which is a 1 coat system.

• Do you use reclaimed parquet blocks for removing & extending fireplace hearths?

  Thank you for contacting us regarding parquet flooring restoration.

  Fireplace hearth removal and extension with reclaimed parquet blocks is one of our regular services accompanying parquet floor repairs and renovations. We are able to supply additional reclaimed parquet blocks, matching the size of your flooring and use them to re-stich the parquet flooring once the fireplace heart is removed.  After the floor extension, a complete sanding and re-varnishing will provide a beautiful and new look to your parquet flooring and there will be no trace of the fireplace heart.

• Oak stained in dark wood base and white grain effect

  Hi,

  This example is shown on oak timber. This type of finish is achieved by application of Active Stain on top of oak timber, flollowed by application of white hardwax-oil on top - buffed in and sealed with another clear coat of oil on top.

  Some active stains are available from Woca (Active stain 1, 2, 3 and 4) and white oils are available from Osmo, Fiddes, Treatex (and other brands). 

  The process of active stain is slow - takes about a day and oils are slow-drying. It may be worth looking for a pre-finished product with similar appearance, instead of starting from scratch on bare wood.

  Hope this helps.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• Can water damaged solid wood flooring be restored?

  Similar to parquet, the possibility of restoring water-damaged solid wood flooring hinges on the severity of the damage. Minor surface water damage, which might cause some light staining or slight raising of the grain, can often be successfully addressed through sanding and refinishing.

• How long does sanding & painting stairs take?

  Sanding and painting stairs generally takes between 3 to 5 days for an average staircase. This timeframe is influenced by the number of steps, the condition of the existing surface, and the desired finish. The process begins with thorough sanding to remove old paint or varnish and create a smooth, clean surface for adhesion. This can be time-consuming due to the confined and intricate nature of stairs. Multiple coats of primer and paint are applied and the drying time can be between 2 to 5 hours per coat.

• Can I book floor sanding service on the weekend?

  Yes, our sanding and sealing service are available to book over the weekend. However, please note that this process is noisy, and noise restrictions often apply in flats and residential areas with blocks.

  If your property is a house, we highly encourage you to inform your neighbors about the upcoming work.
