Meet “Mr Sandman”

Deck Protection Plus

Sanding your decking will remove any dead timber and previous coatings from the surface, providing you with a fresh start. From here, you can choose either an oil-based coating or varnish. Protecting your deck with a good decking product and regular maintenance, will prevent the timber from opening up in response to weathering.

Revitalise Your Floors

Sanding your timber floor will return its appearance to near new. Any oxidation (honeying in colour), minor scratches and stains will be removed as a thin layer is removed. Modern finishes are non-yellowing as well as being much flatter in appearance. This will give your floor a fresh, modern appearance as well as extending the life of the floor.

Bring Your Stairs Back To Life

Sanding stairs is the most labour intensive element of floor sanding. On average, stairs are sanded at half the frequency of floors in the same property. Sanding and finishing your stairs will return them to their original beauty and remove any oxidised (yellowed) finish. A full set of box construction stairs can take up to a week to sand and coat.

Completely Change The Look!

Our custom staining service allows you to choose from an extensive array of colours for your floor. Perhaps choose to stain a blonde timber to a dark walnut colour, or create a "Hamptons Look" by staining your red floor black. View our Staining Gallery above for some inspiration.

Easy to clean

Easy to maintain

Modern floor finishes are easier to care for and maintain than the floor finishes of the past.

Modern floor finishes are highly resistant to scratching and dirt cannot work its way into their surface. The easiest way to care for your floor is to minimise the frequency that you use water for cleaning and using a dry soft mop to remove any potential abrasives.

Questions?

Here are the answers …

The time taken to sand every floor varies depending on the layout, number of rooms, timber type and finish selected. On average, I sand around 20sqm per day with an additional day taken to fine sand and do the corners. There are always two days required for coating, So an average floor area of 80sqm would take five days to sand (including fine sanding), plus two days to coat, for a total of seven working days.

The floors that I coat, can be used for light foot traffic the day after the top coating is applied. Always confirm with your contractor what day this is likely to be, prior to moving furniture. Most floor finishes will achieve their full strength after about one week, so care must be taken not to use furniture which slides on the floor (such as chairs), during this time.

Well, maybe., but most often, no. The floors best suited to limewashing are those that are consistent in board colour and blonde timber species. This is very few species of timber in Australia. American Oak, French Oak are examples of timber types which are good candidates for limewashing. Any timber species that has a mix of colours in the boards, or contains any hint of red boards, is NOT a candidate for lime washing. Attempting to limewash a floor that has any red colour to the timber, will result in a pink floor.

We use the latest machines and “dust-free” techniques to minimise the creation of dust. Most of our clients are amazed at how small the amount of dust is, that is not collected by the machines. We aim to keep our workplace clean, so that you can enjoy your new floor as soon as possible.
