The process of the Restoration of Original Pine Floorboards
Before the works...
The pine floorboards in this Watford property was looking tired and in urgent need of refinishing. During our initial survey, we did a thorough inspection of the floors & discussed with the client all possible options, followed by itemised quote with our floor sanding & repairs prices for floorboards.
Our client has decided to go for floor sanding and gap filling of 77 sqm pine floorboards and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.
How we completed this pine floorboards restoration...
One of the challenges we experienced during the floor works was to complete the floor works in stages, due to bulky pieces of furniture, which could not be removed from the rooms.
The thickness of the pine victorian floorboards used for residential properties is approx. 20 mm when laid. Pine timber shrinks with the time and also becomes thinner every time the floors are restored. The minimal thickness, after which floorboards cannot be restored any more is approx. 15 mm.
At this stage our team will inspect carefully the thickness of the floorboards and also advise if any further repairs or floorboards replacement may be recommended prior to the floor renovation works.
During the floorboards sanding, the original floors are going through a sanding process of levelling with coarser grids, finishing with finer grids, and finally buffing, prior to the application of the sealant & between the coats, for outstanding results.
Our works included approx. 77 sqm pine floorboards floor renovation and finishing in matt lacquer. The sealing went down with 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of Tover Home Maxi lacquer.
We also carried out gap filling as part of the floor restoration process. We aim to apply resin filler in the second half of the working day, so it settles properly overnight and we can repeat it on the following morning, if required. The putty is after that removed by next step of the finishing process with medium grids.
Overall, this floor renovation project in Watford was completed as scheduled and to the satisfaction of the client.
