Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s the best coating for timber floors?

    That depends on how you use your space and the look you want. Water-based coatings are clear and fast-drying, great for busy homes. Oil-based finishes bring out rich colour and grain, while hardwax oils feel natural underfoot and are easy to touch up. Each gives a different vibe, so it’s worth chatting through the options before you decide.

  • How long do coatings usually last?

    Most high-quality finishes last between 5-10 years, depending on traffic and care. Regular cleaning, avoiding harsh chemicals and using rugs in high-traffic spots will keep them looking new for longer. When your floors start to look dull, a quick recoat can often bring the shine back without needing a full sand.

  • Can I change my floor’s finish later?

    Yes, and it’s quite common. You can sand back the existing coating and apply a new one to change the look. Many people go from glossy to matte or satin for a softer, more contemporary feel. It’s all about finding a finish that suits your taste and lifestyle.
