The original parquet floor features a beautiful combination of Rhodesian Teak and Panga Panga, laid in a distinctive basket-weave pattern. The alternating direction of the timber blocks creates a striking geometric effect, while the natural differences in grain and colour between the two species give the floor its unique character.
Although much of the original timber was still in good condition, several areas had become loose and unstable over time.
We carefully lifted the affected blocks, prepared the subfloor and re-secured the parquet, retaining as much of the original flooring as possible.
Once the repairs were completed, the entire floor was professionally sanded using our 99% dustless sanding system. Removing the old, darkened finish completely changed the appearance of the floor and brought the basket-weave pattern, contrasting timber tones and natural grain back into focus.
The floor was then finished with Osmo Polyx® Aqua, providing a durable, hard-wearing finish while beautifully enhancing the natural character of the timber.
The end result is a wonderful example of why these original parquet floors are worth preserving: repaired, stabilised and completely transformed without losing the character that makes the floor unique.
Osmo Polyx® Aqua
A clear, water-based, single-component polymer floor sealer developed for hard-wearing interior wooden floors. It delivers a smooth, durable and wear-resistant surface while keeping the natural look and grain of the wood clearly visible.
