Tasmanian Oak

Matte Finish

Karingal, VIC

Back in the '60s there were some amazing glues being splashed around. They were that good in fact that they didn't even need to put down an underlay, like, say, Masonite. Nope. They just stuck the Lino straight to the floor boards  

The cool thing for me is my Dad was one of the floor men way back then who did that kind of work - so, who knows, he may have laid the floor coverings in this home and I've sanded off the remnants some 50 odd years later

Now, getting glue off floor boards is a pain of a job. In fact, a lot of guys won't even attempt it

Luckily, I have a bag of tricks up my sleeve, so it's not something I'm afraid of

I finished this floor with Handley Matt and it's outstanding. The sheen level is just perfect

An absolute stunning example of a hard-wearing matte finish, that will hold up well in this rental property
