Project type
Parquet Floor Sanding & Sealing
This sapele parquet floor in Lincoln had become dull and tired over time, with the original surface finish worn away and the colour lacking depth. To restore the floor properly, a full sanding and sealing process was required to bring the natural character of the wood back through.
The floor was carefully sanded to remove the old coating and even out the surface while preserving the integrity of the parquet blocks. Attention was given to the edges and detailed areas to ensure a consistent finish across the entire floor. Any minor imperfections were addressed during preparation to achieve a smooth, uniform surface.
Once sanding was complete, the parquet floor was sealed with a finish selected to enhance the rich tone and grain of the sapele while providing durable protection for everyday use. The result is a clean, refreshed parquet floor with improved colour, clarity, and long-lasting performance.
This type of sapele parquet floor sanding and sealing is an effective way to restore original wooden flooring in properties throughout Lincoln without the need for replacement.
The Floor Condition
This oak floor in Grimsby had previously been treated with a dark Danish oil, which had built up over time and significantly darkened the natural colour of the wood. The finish had become uneven in places, leaving the floor looking dull and tired.
Sanding & Preparation
To restore the floor properly, a full sanding process was carried out using professional dust-controlled equipment. The old finish was carefully removed using a progressive sanding sequence to bring the timber back to a clean, even surface. Edges and corners were detailed to ensure a consistent finish across the entire floor.
The Finished Result
Once prepared, the floor was finished using a high-quality hardwax oil. This provided a much lighter, more natural appearance while enhancing the grain of the wood and offering durable, long-lasting protection.
