Restore and repair a Pine parquet wooden hallway floor at at Paignton home

Restoring a Pine Parquet Floor in a Paignton home.

Does your hallway have a wooden floor that needs a sanding, repair or a new finish? Recently we were asked to restore a Pine Parquet wooden floor in a hallway of a Paignton home.

The first thing you’ll find Oakwood technicians do when they arrive to restore a Parquet wood floor is inspect it fully. At the Paignton house they found several of the Pine wooden blocks were loose. Over the years the traditional glue used to stick Parquet down becomes brittle allowing the wooden blocks to move. In many cases they can even be picked out of the floor. The loose blocks were fixed using a modern adhesive. After these repairs were finished it was time to start sanding the wooden floor.

Sanding Parquet Wooden Floor

Using the Pallmann Cobra Belt Sander the wooden floor was sanded using a 40 grit pad. This enables the technicians to sand the wood heavily to remove all old marks and also get all the blocks to a consistent level. When sanding a parquet floor, you are always sanding against the grain. This can prove to be a challenge to some people who are not correctly trained in wood floor sanding or those that take on the task of DIY sanding.

At Oakwood Contracting Services we use the latest machinery operated by our qualified floor care specialists. Sanding parquet floors is just one of our specialist services we offer.

For this wood floor restoration we used of the Pallmann Spider equipment with the Planetary Head. This head allows us to sand in any direction without leaving any scratch patterns whatever type of  grits that are used. The process is very fast and works extremely well on soft wood parquets. Then the  whole floor was filled and the edges were sanded to a very fine finish. This was to match the main field of the floor. Once this was complete the floor was ready to be finished.
