Help with timber floor timber type and colour
Comments (13)Hi, I had a Spotted Gum Timber Floor ( 10mm Real Solid Timber Single Planks ) in a penthouse apartment for 8 years . It was pre-coated in high gloss clear from the factory . When it was laid it was necessary to have a noise reduction 3mm foam under layer ( apartments underneath building noise requirement) . This method of installation actually made the floor very quiet and it also made it a little softer to walk over . When it got any scuff marks, they just easily wiped off with a damp cloth. When I sold the penthouse, the floor was in exactly the same condition as the day it was first laid - first class. It was only ever cleaned with a steam cleaner , no chemicals whatsoever . I would certainly recommend the pre-coated polyurethane gloss finish on the real timber planks to anyone, it was great ! You can just see a glimpse of the kitchen floor in the attached two images. Good luck with your specifying . High quality surface finishes normally stand the test of time . I have added a couple of extra images of the penthouse for interest. We did the interior design fit out after buying the shell from the developer. It was a stunning sky home . Cheers LAADP...See MoreHelp: 1. Wooden floors-to sand&polyurethane OR to sand&paint white
Comments (15)Polyurethane timber floor finishes are the most durable and economical floor coating available for floor sanding and polishing projects. Especially if you are considering the resale of your home in the future. Liming or white washing your floor certainly is in fashion at the moment but is far more expensive to do. If you are still interested in liming your timber floors take a look our blog for some more info . http://budgetfloorsanding.com.au/?s=liming+timber+floors http://budgetfloorsanding.com.au/timber-floor-finishes/timber-floor-staining/...See Morefloor sanding and varnish results
Comments (10)Yes, ours is the same. Never been 100% happy with it. In one small area we can even see orbital sander marks where the polisher had tried to rectify something...... The finish drys so slow it makes it hard for them to touch it up. If you're not happy with it you could have them re-sand and poly but you need to allow the current coating to dry thoroughly first at least a good few weeks. To have it blemish free is almost impossible due to dust that just floats around and then lands in the poly. The dust may not even be their's just whatever dust is floating. We used a Scandinavian oil but it still is slow drying (tacks of quick and able to walk on it within a day but not dry underneath) and looks quite similar to a poly finish.... It does however still look great after 5 years and hasn't deteriorated. Polished timber is still way better than almost anything else, I'd probably just use a different company next time.......See MoreTimber floors or polished concrete tiles for a kitchen?
Comments (28)@User we really loved the house when we first bought it, especially the kitchen for its unique character. . After so many years living in the house, it started to feel quite dark and dated we wanted to change the home without moving. We are happy with the result and update As this was the last room in the house to do. Everyone has the own sense of style and what they like and this is what we like. The only thing that matters is what we like as we are living in it. Thanks for your thoughts....See MoreLuke Buckle
