Oiling, staining & lacquer: before and after
Our process

How we do it.

  1. Sample

    Test patches of 2–3 shades on your own floor so you see the true colour.

  2. Prepare

    Final fine sand and thorough vacuum before any finish goes on.

  3. Apply

    Thin coats, with light abrasion between them for a smooth, even surface.

  4. Aftercare

    Cure times, cleaning products and when to re-coat.

Questions

Oil or lacquer?

Oil looks natural and can be spot-repaired. Lacquer is tougher and lower-maintenance, but repairs mean re-coating the whole room.
