Floor Sanding Newcastle - Vincent’s Floors

Vincent’s Floors uses a variety of timber finishing products to ensure the best finish for your floor. Trusted brands such as Bona, Loba, Polycure and Handleys ensure a high standard of quality and durability. Choosing the right finish can be a big decision. With over 10 years' experience in the business, you can rely on us to give you sound advice as to which product and finish will be best for your particular floor.

Some of the choices include staining, lime washing and whether to use oil, solvent or water-based coating which all have different shades and durability, as do the different brands. There are also natural coatings like hard wax oil. A popular choice is a water-based coating, which is the least toxic and offers the lightest toned finish that will keep the grain in your timber light. Oil-based or solvent-based finishes have a higher grade of water and scratch resistance. Ideal for commercial spaces with higher foot traffic. Oil or solvent-based finishes tend to darken the grain in the timber.

Staining and Limewashing is a great way to elevate your space. Limewashing takes the yellow hue out of old faded boards and an existing timber floor can be tinted to a new shade to achieve your design aesthetic, or, when installing a new floor, timber and colour choice can be combined to create the perfect look.

Once we have decided whether it will be flood filled (filling the gaps with a mixture of coating and sawdust) we can make a start. The finishing process includes sanding which usually takes 1-3 days. We always sand two-three times to make sure the surface is well prepared before any staining or polishing and coating. We usually apply two-three coats so as to offer maximum protection and durability. It needs a day or two to dry and set properly before you can move furniture back in.
