Are your hardwood floors starting to look dull or worn? Does your flooring need sanding and polishing? Nothing compares to the quality and aesthetics of hardwood flooring, but like most things, they need regular maintenance to keep them looking their best. Fortunately, with floor sanding and polishing, you can make your hardwood floors look brand new.
Sanding hardwood floors removes the thinnest top layer of your floor, effectively revitalising and giving your floor a fresh appearance. Once sanded, our flooring specialist team will apply several layers of coating to the floor to polish and provide it with a new shine and protective layer, adding style and character back to your Perth home.
Wooden Floor Polishes and Stains
Wooden flooring polishing is the most crucial step after floor sanding, giving your floors an elevated look and adding durability. We offer a variety of different finishes, including:
Water-Based Polyurethane
Water-based polyurethane is a popular choice for timber floor polishing, leaving your floors with a natural look. Resistant to heat, sunlight and water, they will not turn the floors yellow and are highly durable, leaving your floors with a long-lasting finish. These are synthetic resins that use water as their base and are available in matte, satin and gloss finishes.
Solvent-Based Polyurethane
Solvent-Based Polyurethane will enhance the colour of wooden floors, giving them a beautiful depth, gloss and warm tone. The solvent makes extremely hard and durable finishes for wooden floors that are slightly thicker in consistency compared to their water-based counterparts. As a result, this finish pairs well with certain timber species, giving them a premium look. However, their drawback is the flooring may yellow over time. Available in matte, satin and glossy finishes, it does not require frequent recoating and will protect the hardwood flooring for a long time.
Stains
If you’re looking to lighten or darken the look of your hardwood floors, staining is the best option to add colour to suit your Perth home or commercial space. The stains penetrate the wooden floors and highlight the natural grains, bringing out the beautiful character of the hardwood. When it comes to colour options, we have a variety of stains available; visit our Bibra Lake display centre to see our available staining options.
Modified Oils
A two-coat system, modified oils require no additional sealer to finish your timber floors and provide a durable coating to various timber species and parquetry flooring after sanding. If you’re looking to add a beautiful rich look to your floors, this is a perfect choice, especially for high traffic areas.

After the floor sanding is complete, the floors are polished to cover the exposed wood with a protective coating, protecting the surface from external contaminants and improving its longevity.
