Engineered Timber and Hardwood Restoration

We also specialize in engineered timber flooring. While these floors have a thinner top layer than solid wood, our skilled team knows exactly how to handle them. We use precision equipment to remove just the right amount of surface material without compromising the structural integrity of the planks. This allows us to remove scratches and wear while preserving your floor's lifespan.

Our Comprehensive Sanding Process

Our process is designed for optimal results. We begin with a thorough inspection of your subfloor and timber condition. We identify any loose boards, protruding nails, or required repairs. Our dust-free sanding technology ensures your home remains clean throughout the job. We progressively move from coarse to fine grit papers, eliminating imperfections and creating a perfectly smooth canvas for your chosen finish.

Why Choose Professional Floor Polishing?

Professional polishing is the key to longevity. We apply multiple coats of high-grade polyurethane or oil finishes. These layers protect against moisture, UV fading, and daily wear. Whether you prefer a glossy showroom look or a natural matte appearance, our application techniques ensure an even, streak-free result that enhances the natural grain of your Kauri, Rimu, or Oak floors.

Restoring Auckland's Native Timbers: Rimu, Kauri, and Matai

Auckland's housing stock is rich with beautiful native timbers, each requiring a specialized approach. Rimu floors, found in many bungalows, have a distinct reddish-brown heartwood that looks stunning with a clear polyurethane finish. We know how to sand Rimu to highlight its varying grain without leaving swirl marks. Matai flooring, often used in commercial buildings and older halls, is harder and requires fine-grit polishing to achieve a glass-like surface.

Then there is Kauri, the jewel of New Zealand timber. Soft and amber-hued, Kauri requires a delicate touch. Aggressive sanding can easily damage this precious wood. Our team treats Kauri with the respect it deserves, removing only the necessary amount of old coating to reveal the glowing grain beneath. We also handle Tawa, Oak, and Jarrah with equal expertise.

Commercial Floor Sanding Solutions for Auckland Business

We do not just work on homes. We are the trusted partner for commercial floor sanding across Auckland. Business floors face different challenges than residential ones. High heels, office chairs, and constant foot traffic demand a heavy-duty coating system.

For our commercial clients—including school halls, basketball courts, dance studios, and retail stores—we use industrial-grade two-pack finishes. These products cure faster and harder than standard coatings, minimizing your downtime. We understand that every day your business is closed costs you money. That is why we offer after-hours and weekend sanding services to ensure your project is completed with zero impact on your trading hours.

Transforming Spaces with Staining and Blonding

Sometimes, a clear finish is not enough. You might want to change the entire look of a room without replacing the floor. Floor staining is an art form we have mastered. We can turn a light pine floor into a rich, dark walnut color to add sophistication to a villa.

Conversely, whitewashing or "blonding" is incredibly popular in Auckland's coastal suburbs. This technique softens the yellow tones of timber, creating a beachy, Scandi-style aesthetic perfect for modern apartments. We use specialized products like Bona Create or Porter's Paints to achieve a consistent, non-patchy wash that allows the grain to show through while lightening the overall tone.

The Health Benefits of Dust-Free Sanding

Traditional floor sanding was a messy nightmare. Toxic dust would coat every surface in the house, linger in air vents, and pose a health risk to your family. We use the latest dust-free floor sanding technology. Our machines are connected to powerful mobile extraction units that capture 99.9% of dust at the source.

This means no cleanup for you, no dust in your curtains, and most importantly, safe air quality. This is vital for families with asthma sufferers, young children, or pets. It also allows us to coat your floors sooner, as there is no airborne dust to settle into the wet finish and create imperfections.

DIY vs Professional Floor Sanding: What You Need to Know

We often see DIY disasters where homeowners rent a drum sander to save money. Unfortunately, these machines are often poorly maintained and difficult to control. One split-second mistake can gouge a deep valley into your floorboard that is impossible to fix without replacing the timber.

"Chatter marks" (ripples across the floor) and "edger swirls" are common signs of an amateur job. By the time you pay for machine hire, sandpaper (which retail stores mark up significantly), coatings, and likely a professional to fix the mistakes, you often spend more than if you had hired us from the start. Trust a professional floor sander to increase the value of your property, not risk damaging it.

Long-Term Floor Maintenance Tips

Once we have restored your floors, we want them to last. Here is how to maintain that "just-finished" look:
1. Wait for full cure: Even though you can walk on the floor in 24 hours, rugs and furniture should wait 3-7 days depending on the product.
2. Use felt pads: Stick felt protectors on the legs of every chair, table, and sofa.
3. No stilettos: High heels act like a hammer on timber fibres. Leave them at the door.
4. Clean correctly: Do not use steam mops or harsh detergents. A damp microfibre mop with a pH-neutral cleaner is all you need.
5. Manage sunlight: New Zealand's UV rays are harsh. Direct sunlight can fade or darken timber over time. Use blinds or UV-filter window coatings to protect your investment.
