An original Oregon Pine floor in an approximately 80-year-old home. The existing floor had a much darker, aged finish that concealed a great deal of the natural colour and grain of the Oregon Pine.
Our team carefully sanded the entire floor using our 99% dustless sanding system, removing the old coatings and taking the timber back to its natural raw state. As the photographs show, the transformation was dramatic.
The client specifically wanted to retain a very natural, raw timber appearance, rather than introducing the warmer or darker tones often associated with traditional finishes. For this reason, the floor was finished with Osmo Polyx®-Oil Raw 3044, which is specifically designed to help preserve the lighter appearance of freshly sanded timber.
An oil finish also allows the natural grain and texture of the wood to remain an important part of the finished floor, while providing protection for everyday use. Another great advantage is its maintainability, with worn or damaged areas able to be locally maintained or refreshed without necessarily having to completely sand the entire floor again.
