Wood Floor Sealing - The Necessary Upkeep

The importance of renovating and taking care of your wooden floor cannot be understated. When properly and regularly maintained, most real wood floors are designed to last up to a whole century and beyond. This makes real wood flooring a valuable investment, providing a durable, sturdy, and visually stunning option. Wood floor sealing and sanding play a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing the floor's durability and attractiveness.

While wood floor sanding is the more aggressive, heavy-duty part of the maintenance service, wood floor sealing provides the finishing touches that make your floors look sleek and stunning while ensuring lasting protection. Sealing your wood flooring makes it resistant to moisture, impact, high traffic, and more, minimising the risk of serious problems and issues.

Wood Floor Sealing - Beauty and Protection

After the necessary process of floor sanding, where surface imperfections, dirt build-up, and old layers of finish are removed, the pores of the wooden structure are opened and ready for the absorption of protective layers. This is the perfect time for wood floor sealing.

Wood floor sealing, using high-quality lacquer or oil finishes, is a crucial part of the procedure. Professional wood floor sealing can make a significant difference in the final results. Our experienced and reliable flooring specialists use professional-grade products from leading companies in the industry, such as Bona, Osmo, and Junckers.

Professional Wood Floor Sealing and Products Worth Considering

The range of floor finishes we work with includes water-based single-component clear lacquers designed for domestic settings, two-component commercial-grade lacquers, and the newest range of natural lacquers that minimally tint the colour of the bare wood, leaving the floors with a natural, unfinished timber look. We endorse the use of hard wax-oil products such as Osmo and Bona. However, we are also open to using Blanchon products upon the client's request.

Each water-based lacquer from Bona and Junckers is classified as a low-VOC product, while Osmo products contain natural components and ingredients. We choose to work with leading brands and manufacturers in the wood flooring market, using products that have proven their long-lasting, hard-wearing power and contain safe and eco-friendly ingredients. Our wood floor sealing and finishing products are non-toxic, making them an ideal choice for households with young children and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wood Floor Sealing

What does sealing a wooden floor mean?

Sealing is the process of applying a protective layer, such as lacquer, oil, or hardwax oil, to a sanded floor. This protects the wood from wear, spills, and stains while enhancing its natural beauty.

Why is sealing important after floor sanding?

Unsealed wood is vulnerable to moisture, dirt, and everyday damage. Sealing locks in the freshly sanded surface and extends the life of your floor by adding durability and resistance.

Which type of seal is best for my floor?

Lacquer is highly durable and ideal for busy areas, oil enhances the natural look and is easy to maintain, while hardwax oil offers a balance of durability and a natural finish. We help you choose based on your lifestyle and design goals.

How long does the sealing process take?

Most floors require 2–3 coats, applied over a day or two, depending on drying times. Water-based lacquers dry faster, while oils may take longer to cure fully.

Do sealed floors need ongoing maintenance?

Yes — over time, the protective layer wears down. Lacquered floors may require re-coating every few years, while oiled floors benefit from periodic re-oiling to maintain protection and appearance.

Will sealing change the colour of my floor?

Clear sealers usually enhance the natural grain and deepen the tone slightly. If you’d like a colour change, tinted oils or stains can be applied before sealing for a customised look.
