floor sanding and varnish results
9 years ago
hi everyone. We have had our cypress floors sanded and polished with a satin polyutherane.
After some advice as to the finish quality.
It's hard to see and pick up visually in photos however the floor looks as though it has water spots on it.
It also has tiny bumpy particles in it that you can feel and see, as well some hair!
what to do, hmm, and what expectations to have. It is an older house so should this make a difference?
What would cause this spotting finish.
Any experience and or advice please

Comments (3)with floating floors you need to level the floors first ..have you try self levelling concrete? a bit expensive but it works a charm we did it when we renovated and found a dip in our floors ? easy to use hubby did it himself....See MoreHow to finish a wooden floor?
Comments (5)Consider a burnished oil finish. I believe this to be superior to layers of polyurethane which often cause boards to stick together and show the scratches. It allows boards to expand and contract. If scratched just use oil over thecsctratch and it will disappear. This would still be done by a professional....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 MoreFlooring ideas needed
Comments (32)Tania, you initially asked about whether to use carpet or vinyl in your entryway. That's a good question. It probably isnt practical to extend carpet to entry. It does seem to be more practical (as far as wet, dirty or muddy shoes/feet) to have an easy-to-clean and damage resistant floor there, such as vinyl. If I was in your shoes, I would use the same flooring as kitchen (in this case vinyl) and extend it out along the line with where old wall was and finishing at the corner where the opposite walls meet (see your 2nd photo where there's a picture or something leaning up against the wall). I can't tell what is beyond that wall; is there another hallway? By extending the kitchen flooring out to include your entry, it seems more practical to me. It also creates an invisible boundary between the entryway and the living room. I hope this makes sense. Please keep us updated of your plans. Best wishes!...See More
