Floor Sanding & Polishing of Brushbox Timber Floors

Brushbox timber flooring is one of the commonly found hardwood timbers used in many homes around Brisbane. However due to its limited supply and the therefore high price it is not often installed in many new houses. Brushbox has long been sought after for its unique properties and aesthetic qualities. it has a fine, even texture with a beautiful, rich color. The timber color can vary from pale pinkish grey to rich reddish-brown. The natural color variation within the Brushbox timber species is normal and one of its most appealing attributes.

Floor Sanding using Whittle Wax

On occasions, Budget Floor Sanding is asked to use the Whittle Wax range of products to coat timber floors after the floor sanding process. Whittle wax is a hard wax oil and is colorless open-pored moisture regulating coating for wood. As a penetrating product, it provides a natural finish to the timber floor and when finished in the low sheen options of satin or matte, it provides a earthy soft lustre to the timber floor. For some people, this is an attractive alternative option to polyurethane floor finishes that seal the floor with a film of product on top of the wooden floor.

Floor Sanding & Polishing at Cannon Hill

While modern polyurethanes are a hard-wearing timber floor finish, they do at some stage reach the end of their life. This was the case at a customer’s Cannon Hill home, whose polished wooden floors had been previously coated some twenty years prior. Fortunately, a polished timber floor can be returned to their former glory by re-sanding and polishing the floors.

Timber Deck Restoration at Hawthorne

A timber deck restoration was required in Hawthorne after the water-based deck finish deteriorated on a new decking installation. The new wooden veranda areas were part of a renovation project only completed last year. The builder had then finished the deck with a couple of coats of a water-based decking finish. Six months later the timber deck coating was already showing signs of degradation. As a major feature of the home, the owners decided to have the veranda re-sanded and finished with a quality deck coating.

Timber Flooring Repair at East Brisbane House

The wooden Hoop Pine floor in this old Queenslander required a lot of sanding. The floor had been previously covered with a style of carpet that is stuck to the floor and after removing the carpet backing it required heavy sand. Evidence of old borer activity had been seen when looking at the underside of the wooden floor and it was, therefore, no surprise that upon sanding, damaged timber floor boards were exposed.

Timber Engineered Flooring Installation in Mount Gravatt

When installing wooden flooring over concrete, engineered flooring is becoming more prevalent. Engineered timber flooring rather than being solid timber is instead a veneer of timber on a plywood backing. The overall thickness maybe around 15mm with a veneer of around 4mm. This style of the timber flooring is more stable with no twists or warping and is ideal for gluing onto concrete slabs.
