Timber Floor Sanding & Polishing at Norman Park.

From time to time I will comment to customers how I think we get the easy part of their floor sanding job. No furniture to move out and then put back at completion. We also do not need to find alternate accommodation as is often required when large areas of timber floors are sanded and polished. For these reasons customers will often plan to have the work done while they are away on a holiday. This was the case with a recent job done by Budget Floor Sanding at the Brisbane suburb of Norman Park.

Floor Sanding and Polishing of Blackbutt Timber Floors

Blackbutt timber flooring has in recent years been a very popular choice of timber flooring in new houses and in flooring extensions. It is a good choice for old Queenslanders undergoing extensions due to its similar color as compared to old Hoop Pine flooring, yet it is much harder than Hoop Pine flooring. Blackbutt is a commonly grown hardwood that has attractive coloring from cream to pale brown, sometimes with a slight tinge of pink. The Janka hardness rating is 9.1. This test is a measure of the force required to press a steel ball into the wood surface to half its diameter. The larger the number the harder the wood.

I am frequently asked to provide an opinion to customers as to whether they should use a gloss or satin finish when the floor sanding their timber floors.
