Floorboards - What Finish?Flooring & Floor Covering

Jan 29, 2007 5:59 pm

Having young children I would recomend using two pack polly in gloss finish. I know others will say to go semi gloss or satin or even tounge oil but in my experience two pack polly is the hardest finish you will get, and will outlast satin and semi gloss by about 5 years. satin and semi gloss are si...

hey Luke we secret nail all our floors. I even secret nail the wide boards as I find it easier to lay without having to clamp them up, then i just string line them and race over with the T nailer placing three nails per board on the wide ones, I end up with nice straight lines then. Most of my timbe...

if you have young children, I wouldn't recomend floating floors, most floating floors are plywood with a timber veneer and when damaged it is a risky exersize to resand them without breaking through to the plywood.99% of floor sanders will not even attempt to resand a floating floor, although i have...

Jan 14, 2007 5:53 pm

tounge oil gives a nice natural finish, but what most floor sanders don't tell you is that it is also high maintance, tounge oil needs to have 2 to 3 coats of acrylic sealer mopped over the finished tounge oil floor 7 to 10 days after it is finished, ( gemini) being the most popular and depending on...
