This Tasmanian Oak floor in sunny, downtown Seaford is typical of a lot of the floor work we perform. The floor had originally been finished with a water-based coating which hadn't lived up to the expectations the owners were led to believe. Sadly, it's an all too common occurrence.
The coatings had yellowed off to sort of resemble the colour of custard found in a vanilla slice.
The surface proved to be hard to clean and scratched way too easily. To compound all this, the older family dog had a couple of 'accidents' on the floor and despite the water-based finish the dog urine passed straight on through, staining the boards in the process.
The pics below give some idea of what we were up against when we first walked in....and how it looked as we finished off
Old, scratched, custard-yellow water-based finish
The dog urine had seeped right through the water-based finish. leaving a stain
Rolling on the new proper polyurethane
Polyurethane being applied to the Tasmanian Oak floor
The dry polyurethane shows of the grain perfectly
I love how the wall colour here works so well with the flooring
Handley Lo-Sheen polyurethane is the finish used here
Some of the finest Tasmanian Oak boards I've ever had the pleasure of working with
Top quality Tasmanian Oak flooring is pretty special
Select grade Tasmanian Oak
is such a pleasure to sand and polish
The polyurethane used here is much harder wearing than the original water-based product
A nice bit of floor sanding
Such a knock out board with that gnarly grain
This floor was an absolute pleasure to work on. Full credit goes to the builder who did such a great job of initially fixing the boards to the concrete slab
