Your Questions Answered..

• 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.

• Can you repair blobs on my recently varnished wooden floors?

  The appearance of blobs may be a result of not sufficient and perfect bonding between the different coats of varnish or between the first coat of floor varnish and the timber. This sometimes happens if the floors had not been perfectly sanded to a very smooth finish before the application of varnish or when the previous sealant was not completely sanded down before the new varnish was applied. The only solution we would recommend is to re-sand and re-varnish the floors again to ensure a smooth sanded surface and a proper application of the coats of varnish on top, ideally done by a professional flooring company to avoid this happening again. However, you need to ensure that your floors have sufficient remaining solid wood top layer available for another sanding.

• Do you use reclaimed parquet blocks to removing & extending fireplace hearths?

  Thank you for contacting us regarding parquet flooring restoration.

  Fireplace hearth removal and extension with reclaimed parquet blocks is one of our regular services accompanying parquet floor repairs and renovation. We are able to supply additional reclaimed parquet blocks, matching the size of your flooring and use them to re-stich the parquet flooring once the fireplace heart is removed.  After the floor extension, a complete sanding and re-varnishing will provide a beautiful and new look to your parquet flooring and there will be no trace of the fireplace heart.
