A fine grit floor sanding system will deliver a superior and even finish to the whole floor area. This is done by means of a rotary sander. - FINE DUST REMOVAL
Highly efficient vacuum system is used for the thorough removal of any dust particles from the freshly sanded wooden floor. - OIL OR LACQUER FINISH (Choose option A or B)

Two applications of hard wax oil on your wooden floor will deliver a beautiful natural finish that is moisture and dirt resistant. Be aware that it will at least 4 hours for the floor to cure enough to allow light foot traffic. Furniture can only be replaced after 24 hours after foot traffic has begun. (Always avoid dragging furniture on a freshly oiled / lacquered wood floor surface.)
B- LACQUERED FINISH:
Application of a Primer to the sanded floor followed by one coat of water based lacquer. Once the first coat has cured, the floor will be prepared for a further 2 coats of lacquer. Be aware that it will take up to 8 hours for the floor to cure enough to allow light foot traffic. Furniture can only move back 24 hours after foot traffic has begun. (Avoid dragging furniture on a freshly lacquered floor surface.) Curing and drying time depends on weather conditions and air flow.
