Staining Baltic pine timber floors
Comments (5)Hello, Staining timber floors after floor sanding can be a tricky job. As someone has suggested, it is best to do some tests on the boards that you have. The floor sanding company that you choose should be able to do some stain samples for you if you give them the boards to experiment on. Feast Watson is a good product, but you will probably find that best stain colour for your timber floor is a blend of a couple of colours. Perhaps a blend of walnut and another colour . It really comes down to personal taste. Some contrast to other timber furniture is a good idea. Take a look at our Budget Floor Sanding Brisbane blog page for some more floor sanding information. Type "staining"into the search box, the second floor sanding blog has a couple of photos of a new timber pine floor( light colored similar to Baltic pine ) that we stained with Feast Watson prooftint, to blend in with a older floor. Hope this helps. All the best with your timber floor restoration. http://budgetfloorsanding.com.au/...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 MoreSeeking floor sanding diy advice
Comments (7)Hi Angela, Definitely call in a Pro. Floor sanding is not that expensive. They will do it in a fraction of the time using commercial floor sanding equipment, not the dinky toy hire variety for the DIY market. If there are any damaged boards that need replacing or staining to match new replacement boards to old, could you do it, and do it well? Save your sanity by getting a professional to do it. Save money by doing any painting that is required. Once you start sanding you could find you have had borer in your floor and floor boards need replacing. Take a look at this horror job that we had to tackle. I think you will agree it is best left to a PRO. http://budgetfloorsanding.com.au/floor-sanding-and-polishing/timber-floor-board-repairs/...See MoreTimber floor oil experiences
Comments (15)No that is not correct. It will be Synteco oil that he will be talking about I assume. I have only used it once because we could not get enough of the livos oil in wa for one job. That was in a yoga school about 10 years ago. Still going strong. I am selling my house in about a year and after 6 years of renovations, three dogs and kids that are now 12 and 13, I will only consider polishing our floor with a white pad. Show me a poly floor that can hold up to that. Actually our floor looks better now than it did when it was first done. Sanders don't like using oil for two reasons, it does them out of a job or they aren't confident enough to use it. Bottom line is there is no better solution unless you like plastic looking,feeling floors and some people do. Each to their own....See More- 9 years ago
