Engineered Oak Floor: Sanding, Polishing & Varnishing

The floor had indeed suffered some minor damage including scratches and marks on its surface but it wasn’t in a truly bad condition. This was a rather simple job because it didn’t involve extensive repairs, subfloor levelling or board replacing. Easy task for professionals.

As per our client’s request, we sanded and lightly buffed the area in order to remove the old finish and apply a new one. We advised the customer to go for commercial-grade, water-based lacquer because it will provide excellent protection against heavy traffic and won’t turn yellow with time as easily as the oil-based alternative. We applied four coats of the waterborne finish for extra durability. The whole process of sanding, buffing, gap filling and varnishing of 63 sqm of engineered flooring and the additional threshold installation took us 2 days to complete.

As we have already stated, the floor wasn’t suffering from particularly heavy damage but this did not stop us from making sure it looks perfectly smooth and unblemished after our work was complete. The results, though, are obvious.

This Is How The Floor Looked After We Finished.
