Manchester Floor Sanding - Alderley Edge

Location : Terraced House in Alderley Edge, Manchester

Flooring : The customer has existing solid oak planks fitted in their sitting room.  The old oiled finish had yellowed and was very scuffed and scratched.  Overall although the wood was in good condition, the general appearance was dull and very tired (pic1)

The solution : using the Trio Sanding machine (pic 2), the existing finish was sanded off, down to bare wood.  We use a special edging sander to reach close to the edges and corners (pic 3).   Once the boards were fine sanded we ran attack cloth over the boards to remove any fine dust; this ensures a smooth finish.  One coat of Junckers Pre-lak was then applied to the bare wood.  Pre-lak is a primer and ensures good adhesion of lacquer to the wood and helps to prevent side bonding.  2 coats of Junckers ‘Strong’ lacquer were then applied using a roller (pic 4).  The floor will be touch dry usually within 4 hours and will be fully cured i.e. at full strength to receive furniture, within 72 hours.
