WoodMaster’s process for parquet floor varnishing:
● Step 1 – Before we begin we carry out a free site survey and we will provide a written estimate for the varnishing. We will also book a convenient a time and date for the service to be carried out.
● Step 2 – To commence the process, we will fully strip the boards to get rid of the previous lacquer and oils. This will restore the original boards. Our large industrial belt and planetary sanding machines will make the parquet boards smooth and flat.
● Step 3 – We strip the previous sealer right up to the edges and skirting boards. We use our dustless edging machines for this. We then treat the floor with our 3 head finishing machine to remove any micro-scratches caused during our sanding process. This will leave the floor ready for sealer.
● Step 4 – We then show the customer what the floor could look like using samples of finishes and stain options. A natural lacquer can also be applied for a tough but attractive finish. You can also pick from one of our many stains to get a different look for the floor without having to replace it.
● Step 5 – We apply the first coat of protection on the parquet floor.
● Step 6 – When the first coat is dry we lightly sand the floor one more time to smooth the area. Now the floor is prepared for the final finish.
● Step 7 – We will apply two coats of our top finish. This can be a 1 or 2 pack of lacquer, depending on the type of wood. If you would like a premium level of smoothness, or if the colour of the wood has changed, we will apply oils.
● Step 8 – Finally, your parquet floors is dry and ready to use. After a few hours your furniture can be brought back into place.

FAQs
Yes, no problem. The sanding process will be selected so that we cut deep enough to remove the scratches and damage that is present. Also if Some holes and grooves are too deep to sand we can advise on a filing method that will improve the appearance of these areas.
We are happy to give a ballpark figure from pictures and room sizes, as this can help customer budgeting on renovation projects if they are unsure whether to restore or replace, but ultimately we would need to carry out a full survey and demo before any work can take place.
Yes, we are happy to carry out a free demo on your wooden floor. The best way for us to do this is to bring one of the smaller dustless edging machines and sand 1 board x 1m of linear length. This will show the natural colour the wood returns to and we can then discuss which product is best to return the wood to the colour or look of your preference. The demo is also great as it can allow us to work out how many sanding grits and processes are required, which also helps with firming up a fixed cost for the project.
The length of time required for the floor to dry depends on the type of product that is used. We will advise you once work is complete.
The length of process varies depending on the level of damage and thickness of the old surface, but normally most household projects under 50 sqm take about 1.5 days. On the first day we can do the sanding and apply the base coat. This is then left to dry and we’ll return the following morning to start applying the 2 top coats. Again, smaller rooms with furniture take longer, whereas bigger open spaces with no furniture can be completed more quickly.
Every job is different but during the free survey we measure up, do a free demonstration clean to show the results we can achieve, and from this we send over a full proposal for you to browse at your own leisure. We do not give prices on the day or put you under any pressure for an answer there and then
It depends on the original condition of your parquet floor, but we can normally restore it to a just-laid finish.
All products used are within the manufacturer’s guidelines, and where applicable your flooring manufacture own brand products can be used.
