WoodMaster’s floor staining process:
- Step 1 – Site survey and full written estimate to determine the requirements of the floor and best potential approach for your floor. Here we agree on cost and scheduling.
- Step 2 – When we arrive, we begin with a full sanding of boards to remove old lacquer and oils, restoring the virgin boards. Our large industrial belt and planetary sanding machines cut boards smooth and flat, giving it a beautiful finish. We have recently invested in a new 3 head machine ideal for modern engineered boards where belt sanders won’t work.
- Step 3 – After we’ve removed all of the old sealer right up to the skirting boards, we then treat the floor with our 3 head finishing machine, which removes micro fine scratches from the sanding process. The floor is left smooth and ready for us to apply new sealer.
- Step 4 – We’ll give you a demonstration of finishes / stain options on your floor so you can see what the finish will look like. At this point we can also apply a natural lacquer which gives a charming but durable finish. Stains can be applied if you want to change the look of the floor more drastically.
- Step 5 – We apply a base coat to fill up the wood, providing its first stage of protection.
- Step 6 – When the base coat dries we conduct a light sand the floor one last time to remove any areas that push up from the base coat of sealer. The floor is now ready for the final finish.
- Step 7 – Application of 2 coats of top finish, which can be a 1 or 2 pack lacquer depending on the use case of the floor, or we can apply oils to change colour or add a premium level of smoothness.
- Step 8 – Once dry, the floor is now ready for use. We’ll advise how long you should wait until it is ready.
Full maintenance advice is always provided and after care products where requested.
