Floor Sanding Brisbane Page 2

Our latest floor sanding Brisbane project was this new house in Balmoral. The homeowners chose American Oak tongue and groove flooring in a wider 180 mm width. Budget Floor Sanding Brisbane was contracted by the builder to install the timber flooring. With a wide profile floor such as this, the timber was fully glued to the substrate and then secret nailed. It was then also necessary to top nail the floor before floor sanding and polishing.

New Spotted Gum Timber flooring was installed on the upstairs and downstairs levels at a recently built new house at Cannon Hill. A decorative Spotted Gum timber parquetry floor had been laid in the entry as a standout feature of this new home. It was the owner’s desire to have the wooden floor looking as natural as possible at the completion of the floor sanding and polishing project. To obtain the desired look the best timber floor finish to achieve this was a water-based coating system.

Often in older houses, the timber floor requires repair as part of the floor sanding and polishing process. These floor repairs often involve floor board replacement and are a service that is also carried out by Budget Floor Sanding. This house in the Brisbane Suburb of East Brisbane had previously had a section of the pinewood flooring patched with a sheet of plywood. After removing the plywood and installing replacement timber floorboards in a staggered fashion to blend the new timber flooring with the older original Hoop Pine flooring, the floor was sanded back in preparation for staining.

Both Whittle wax and Treatex are Hardwax oils. Hard waxes are highly effective timber floor coatings that consist of natural plant oils and waxes that have been used for the protection and enhancement of timber for centuries. Whittle wax and Treatex products in addition to enhancing the natural beauty of timber are also non-toxic, eco-friendly, and are extremely durable.

Budget Floor Sanding Brisbane was recently engaged to undertake the floor sanding and polishing of the timber floors of a historic old church. Once the restored timber floors have been completed, the old church will be used as a wedding chapel. The photos show the rustic old Queensland Hoop Pine flooring that had never been floor sanded before, and the restored timber floor after sanding and polishing with three coats in a polyurethane satin finish. The owners of the church wanted a hard-wearing finish that had an older looking soft sheen appearance, so the satin polyurethane was chosen as it best fit these criteria. Satin timber floor finishes are the perfect floor coating for old timber floors as they do not tend to highlight imperfections that old wooden floors accumulate over time.

This Brisbane home in Balmoral has had a number of building updates and renovations over the years. For both of the two previous owners, Budget Floor Sanding Brisbane has been involved with the sanding and polishing of both the internal timber flooring and the exterior timber decks.
