Before the works...
The walnut engineered wood flooring in this Balham restaurant was looking tired and in serious need of restoration. During our obligation-free survey, we did a thorough inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options.
Our client has decided to go for floor sanding of walnut engineered wood flooring and finishing the floors in satin Lacquer. The client asked as well to replace the scotia beading around the perimeter, which also looked quite tired.
How we made it happen...
After our floor sanding experts have checked all property & service details on site, they started with lifting existing and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.
When laying new floors an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm must be left around the perimeter. This gap is either covered by new skirting boards, or in case the old ones remain - scotia or quadrant beading will be installed around the perimeter.
In this project the client decided to go with solid oak scotia beading around the perimeter.
Our works included wood floor restoration of approx. 35 sqm floorboards and finishing in 2 coats satin Lacquer. The sealing went down with 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of Lacquer.
Overall the project was completed as scheduled and to the satisfaction of the client.
Did you know this about walnut flooring?
Walnut wood is a premium hardwood timber known for its rich, dark brown color with purplish or gray undertones. It has a straight grain, though it can sometimes feature attractive wave patterns, adding to its aesthetic appeal. Walnut is valued for its smooth texture and excellent workability, making it a popular choice for high-end furniture, cabinetry and wooden flooring. It is durable and resistant to warping, with a natural luster that enhances its luxurious look. To preserve its natural dark brown colour after restoration with lacquered finish, walnut requires use of a specific primer to be applied, after the floor sanding and sealing.
