From the moment you decide to have your timber floor sanded and polished we can assist you with any of your timber flooring need, from the latest colour trends to the most cost effective finishes. With out a doubt the latest trend in floor sanding is staining, which is a process that allows you to change the colour of your floor to suit your needs. The most effective way to change the colour of your floor is to stain the timber direct.
As well as colouring the timber, floor staining enhances the grain, giving your timber a distinctive appearance.
We apply the stain direct to the timber using a wipe on wipe off process. When staining your floor, prior to commencing your job, we will come out and give you three colour samples. This will give you time to choose a colour in order for us to commence your job. One point we always like to make clear to our clients is that staining a floor is not like painting a wall. The colour you choose all depends on the type of timber you have, the grain of the timber and different lighting thoughout your house. This is the reason we come and apply the samples, so you can get an accurate colour on your floor.
Remember that timber is a natural source that comes with imperfections and individual characteristics, so whether you stain or lime your timber floor, the natural characteristics will always be apparent, and depending on the timber you wish to stain will determine the out come of the colour.
If you are looking for a much lighter result, then liming your timber floor is a wonderful alternative to staining. Liming gives a paler, much whiter look to the timber without removing the individual characteristics that a timber floors offers.
