Tasmanian Oak Floor
Handley Matt Protection
Carnegie, VIC
This home in Carnegie had four different sections of Tasmanian Oak spread throughout the place all from various renovation efforts over the years. All four were sanded and finished at different times, by different tradespeople using different finishes - all up a 'dog's breakfast'
My wife, Lisa, and I were delighted to come in and be able to make the entire floor become 'as one' by bringing all four sections together using the same sanding techniques and finishing.
The finish we used here was Handley Matt
All up a gorgeous Tasmanian Oak Floor
Getting set up for a day of sanding work
This here is some pretty ordinary floor sanding work
Lisa filling some large holes from old plumbing pipes
The polyurethane coating brings it all to life
Incredible depth from the finishing coats
The floor is all shiny when it's wet - then as it dries the magic happens
The Handley Matt finish is stunning
The grain on Tasmanian Oak can be so different depending on how the timber was milled
Such a mellow, gentle look
The Handley Matt polyurethane dries to a very consistent sheen right across the floorÂ
This is the section from up above that was pretty roughly sanded previously
The mark of good floor sanding work is when the small sections look as good as the large spaces
Up close each individual piece of Tasmanian Oak flooring is beautiful in it's own right
The transition where the boards change directions can still look great, done right
The morning sun picks out that grain beautifully
