This home had wooden floors extensively throughout the downstairs of the property. Over time, coatings had been added to the floor which had made it dark and dull. Essentially the floor had become lifeless and the wood grain was no longer really visible. The way that the wood finishes had been put on the floor had left it looking uneven and unsightly. We were confident that we could completely transform the wood floor.
The entire floor was sanded back. This took away the old coatings. The beautiful wood grain was finally visible again. This floor was oiled to offer the client the appearance that they wanted. This gave it a much more natural appearance and beautiful finish.
Oil finishes for wood floors have become really popular. This is often put down to the appearance that it offers with a warm and natural look. Some believe it gives wood floors character and doesn’t create that unwanted shiny look. Here are some frequently asked questions we get about oiling wood floors.
What is the best oil for wood floors?
We confidently use PALLMANN wood products. We have done a lot of research into the best wood products and feel this offers the best all-round solution with a hard-wearing and natural finish.
Why should you oil wood?
An oil wood finish is designed to protect the natural wood underneath and showcase its natural beauty. Oil penetrates into the wood and gives a natural sheen rather than a plastic-like shine.
How often should you oil a wooden floor?
The frequency of this is ultimately determined by usage of the floor with many other factors. The frequency that the wooden floors are cleaned will also determine how often it needs to be re-oiled. We always aim to offer tailored advice in relation to this but generally say that this process should be done yearly.
