Before the works

The parquet flooring in this specious terraced house in Wandwsworth had a need of renovation. Our survey recommended gap filling, as we do with most of our restoration of parquet flooring and finishing in durable commercial grade floor lacquer.

How we did it...

As part of the restoration process, the floors went through levelling first followed by sanding with medium grids and application of the gap filling. The parquet floors were finally finished with waterbased Junckers HP Commercial lacquer in Matt sheen.

Did you know this about oak flooring?

Oak wood is a durable and strong hardwood timber known for its distinct grain patterns and wide range of colors, from light brown to reddish tones. It has a coarse texture with prominent grain markings, making it a popular choice for furniture, flooring, cabinetry, and structural applications. Oak is highly resistant to wear, moisture, and insect damage, offering long-lasting durability. It takes staining in dark, light, greys and whites well, with lacquer and oil-based finishes. Another reason that makes it the most popular timber for wooden flooring offering versatility in both traditional and contemporary designs.
