Floor Repairs in Seaford

Tasmanian Oak at its finest.

Open-Plan Transformation: 1960s Tasmanian Oak in Seaford

This beautiful 1960s home in Seaford was undergoing a very tasteful, modern renovation. Like many homes of this classic vintage, the owners wanted to knock out a few walls to maximize their space and open up the house into a more contemporary, open-plan living style.

To make this type of renovation look right, the secret lies in the floor. You have to seamlessly weave genuine secondhand Tasmanian Oak into the existing layout so that, with a bit of skill and luck, the old wall lines completely disappear. This floor right here is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.

Along with patching the voids where the walls used to stand, we also tackled the area where the original brick fireplace sat. We removed the old hearth, built a brand-new subfloor structure, and then laced in the secondhand boards. Looking at it now, the old fireplace has been completely hidden, leaving behind a flawless, continuous expanse of timber.

With all of the carpentry work completed it's now time to sand the floor and fine tune the repairs

This is where the walls were and has blended in pretty well

This section is where the concrete was from the hearth, and it's disappeared brilliantly, too

Protection here comes from a 2Pac polyurethane for it's strength and durability, with the final finish being a Lo-Sheen polyurethane to give it that super flat look

There we have it. A really satisfying finish to a wonderful job

If you're sitting there looking at your floor wondering what to do with that spot where the wall came out

well, this is pretty much what you can expect when it's all said 'n' done
