Baltic Pine

Lo-Sheen Finish

Blairgowrie, VIC

An incredible example of just how well the oldest of Baltic Pine boards can be used to transform a home, and keep that old world charm alive and kicking.

These boards were all recycled from various sources, and lovingly laid by the owners - who were clever enough to not try and sand the floors themselves. Lisa and I have sanded a lot of floors and even we found it hard going, which is often the case on a full re-lay of second-hand boards. The boards are so up n' down and need to have a fair bit of material removed off them to get them nice and flat.

Once we'd done all our sanding it was then simply a case of rolling on our Lo-Sheen finish, to give it that matte finish look and maximum protection.
