Staining Timber Floors

The Floor Man's Greatest Challenge

Staining floors is one of the most challenging tasks a floor sanding crew can take on.  A lot can go wrong...but by the same token, a lot can go spectacularly right, which certainly makes it worth doing.

We have several different methods we use to get the look and colour tone you have in mind.

The following pages will give you a pretty detailed look at what's possible for your own floors and give you an insight into what goes into creating a  special one-of-a-kind stained floor.
