Do You Have a Question?

• Do you offer restoration of stairs and banisters?

  Sanding stairs and banisters is not an easy task and it requires a high level of skills and craftmanship. Most of the work involved is done manually and therefore it is very time consuming. We at FloorWorks would love to assist you with your stairs and banisters restoration as we have the required tools and the necessary skills and knowledge to bring their shine back. Stairs are usually exposed to higher levels of foot traffic, so hardwearing varnish is a recommended type of sealant.

• Is lacquered finish better than hardwax-oil for my original floorboards?

  The short answer is lacquer. The timber of the original floorboards is pine - soft, porous wood, which is not ideal for a sealants, which rely on penetration. Hardwax-oil will leave a better protection on hardwoods and lacquer, which leaves surface coating layer is more universal and will provide better protection on any type of wood, including the original floorboards.

• 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.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• How many coats of oil are included in your service?

  Our sanding and oiling service includes 2 coats of clear hardwax-oil or 1 coat of colour oil followed by 1 coat of clear oil. Ocassionally we can increase the number of coats depending on the timber species we are sealing.

• Can I book floor sanding service throughout a weekend?

  Yes, our sanding and sealing service is 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.

• 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.
