See What Our Clients from Barnes Say About Us...

• ★★★★★

  I explored a number of flooring companies to compare pricing and to get a feel for the integrity of the companies, and FloorWorks were the obvious choice to me. Their pricing was highly competitive, the information and quotes they provided was presented in a straightforward way, their communication via phone and email was friendly, prompt and helpful, and I swiftly homed in on them as my preferred contractor. I chose light oak herringbone, and the resultant flooring is absolutely beautiful. A team of three very polite gents laid the floor in a day and they left the site spotlessly clean, having more than met my expectations. Very highly recommended!

Your Questions Answered..

• Do you sand bamboo flooring?

  While bamboo (as final product) is not exactly timber, it is possible to sand and varnish bamboo flooring. However, bamboo floor sanding needs to be done with extreme care and it requires a specific approach and highly skillful flooring technicians. We will not recommend sanding and varnishing bamboo flooring yourself.  Bamboo floor sealing, for example, requires the application of solvent based, rather than water-based sealants. Also, wood floor staining is not recommended on bamboo floors.

• Can an engineered wood flooring with underfloor heating be restored?

  Hi Tom,

  Yes, any engineered wood flooring can be sanded with or without underfloor heating, as long as the thickness of the top layer of the product is at least 3 mm.

  Engineered flooring products are manufcatured in thickness of 14-15 mm, 18 mm and 20 mm. Each time the floor is sanded, a small portion of the top layer is removed, so if the top layer becomes too thin, further sanding could compromise the integrity of the floor and potentially expose the underlying material. If you can check the thickness of your plank, you will also know how many times the floors can be sanded. 

  If you're unsure, a professional can help assess the condition of the floor and recommend the best course of action.

• What is gap filling and how is it done?

  Gap filling usually refers to a procedure that is part of the floor restoration process, which uses a mixture of clear resin and saw dust, collected from the initial sanding and is used to fill in the gaps between the floorboards or between the parquet blocks. It is a very common service that often goes along with floorboards restoration and parquet floor sanding services. Sometimes, bigger gaps appear between the wooden planks and they require the use of wooden strips to be filled. This is called strip filling.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• How often is re-oiling needed for my wood floor?

  The frequency of re-oiling for your wood floor depends significantly on the level of foot traffic and the specific type of oil finish applied. In high-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, or living rooms, re-oiling might be needed every 6 to 18 months. For areas with moderate traffic, every 1-3 years might suffice, while in low-traffic zones such as bedrooms, a re-oil might only be necessary every 3-5 years or even longer.

• Are there eco-friendly or low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) finish options available?

  Yes, absolutely. There's a growing demand for environmentally conscious building practices, and the flooring industry has responded with numerous eco-friendly and low-VOC finish options, which are offered by Floorworks™. These typically include water-based lacquers and natural oils/hardwax oils.

• Can I change the color of my parquet flooring with restoration service?

  Yes, you can absolutely change the colour of your parquet flooring during the restoration service. Once the existing finish is sanded away, leaving the raw wood exposed, it becomes a blank canvas. This is the ideal stage to apply a wood stain before the final clear protective finish (oil or lacquer). At Floorworks™ we offer a wide range of stain colours, from lighter washes to darker, richer tones, allowing you to completely transform the aesthetic of your parquet to suit your interior design vision.
