Make teak parquet flooring colour lighter or keep it natural

Hi Amy,
Before it is sealed, the unfinished teak timber looks quite similar to oak, but once it is sealed it will go to dark brownish colour.
Like other exotic timbers, the teak can be difficult to seal with normal waterbase primers and lacquers. It will leave darker shaded streaks in areas where the roller has overcoated the previous pass. To avoid this, a solvent-based primer is used, e.g. Junckers SP Primer. Although this type of primer, provides the best base and approach to finishing exotic timbers, it will make the original wood colour stand out even more with a rich, deep tone.
If you prefer to keep the unfinished look of the teak or make it lighter, the only options available will be to use invisible / raw lacquer, like the Bona Mega Natural lacquer (or similar) or stain the floors with whitetinted primer (whitewash), such as Bona White primer or Junckers Prelak White.
The challenge here is how to apply these products on teak timber and avoid roller marks during the application, and if this option is considered it is best left to a professional with experience.
Ideally, timbers like teak, merbau, mahogany, walnut, jatoba should be left in their natural look.
Can I stain my wooden stairs?

It is perfectly fine to do staining on any solid wood areas, including wooden stairs. For our wooden stairs staining and stairs restoration projects, we use Morrells stains, which come in various shades and colours, which we apply on the sanded surface. This is then followed by the application of multiple layers of hard-wearing water-based wood floor varnish.
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...

What qualifications your floor sanding specialists have?

To join Floorworks™ network of local flooring professionals, we make sure our technicians comply with the quality, the standard and conduct of our service. As part of the process they must show experience, expertese and skills, good understanding of the floor finishes we use, the floor sanding equipment and the various timber species.
How long it takes before for the floors to 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 used between coats. After the final coat is applied, lacquered floors can accommodate foot traffic in 2 hours, while hardwax-oil floors require 5-10 hours, depending on air humidity and the season. Furniture should be moved back into place the following day.
How many coats of lacquer are included in your service?

For domestic floor sanding services, we apply 1 coat of primer followed by 2 coats of lacquer. The final sheen options are extra-matt, matt, satin, and gloss.
For floor sanding in public spaces (offices, schools, church halls), we use 1 coat of primer and 3 coats of commercial-grade lacquer, with sheen options including extra-matt, matt, and satin.
Extra coats are available upon request, but we do not recommend more than 5 coats, including primer.
