Oiled Floor Maintenance:
Restoring and Enhancing the Beauty
Once your oiled floor has been thoroughly cleaned and dried, it is typically ready for re-oiling without additional treatment. However, in some cases, the floor may require abrasion to allow the oil to penetrate deeply into the wood. Patchy bare wood areas may need a small amount of oil applied as a base coat.
Rejuvenation with High-Quality Oil
At Ultimate Floor Sanding, we exclusively use Pallmann Magic Oil, a premium two-component product known for its exceptional durability and chemical resistance. Unlike cheaper single-pack oils, our chosen oil cures effectively and provides excellent water and chemical resistance for long-lasting results.
Professional Application and Stunning Finish
To bring your floor back to life, our skilled team applies one coat of oil using a rotary machine. This process is usually sufficient to achieve the desired outcome. Shortly after application, we buff the floor with a soft white pad, creating a natural-looking sheen that enhances the floor’s beauty.
Harmonizing Color Discrepancies
In cases where abrasion was necessary, there may be slight colour discrepancies on the floor. However, exposure to sunlight over time will help harmonise the coloir, blending the previously exposed wood with the rest of the floor seamlessly.

Lacquered Floor Maintenance
Restoring and Protecting the Finish
Maintaining lacquered floors requires careful consideration, especially when the finish has worn down to expose the wood. In such cases, a full re-sanding is often the only solution. However, depending on your budget and the floor’s condition, there are alternative options available.
Applying Acrylic Seal
For an aesthetic improvement, two or three coats of acrylic seal can be applied after cleaning. This process restores the sheen level and enhances the overall appearance of the floor. It’s important to note that acrylic seals do not offer the same level of durability as lacquers.
Bonding Agent and Fresh Lacquer
After thorough cleaning, a bonding agent is applied to facilitate adhesion of a fresh coat of lacquer to the original surface. Once the bonding agent has dried, one or two coats of the appropriate lacquer are applied. The resulting finish is highly durable, providing long-lasting protection.
Clean, Screen, and Re-coat vs. Bonding Agent
Some companies offer a clean, screen, and re-coat service, which is more cost-effective than using a bonding agent. However, this method carries a risk of adhesion failure between the original finish and the fresh lacquer. In contrast, bonding agents virtually guarantee a successful adhesion process, and we have never experienced a failure using this approach. If you opt for the cheaper option, you may be asked to sign a disclaimer.

Hardwax Oiled Floor Maintenance
Versatile Benefits of Hardwax Oils
Hardwax oils offer the advantages of regular oils, allowing for patch repairs when needed. However, the application process is more akin to applying a lacquer, either by rolling or brushing. Consequently, the repair and maintenance of hardwax oiled floors combine elements from both oil and lacquer treatments.
Thorough Cleaning and Assessment
Our maintenance process commences with a comprehensive cleaning of the floor, followed by a careful assessment of necessary repairs. Like oil treatments, any areas that have worn through will be lightly abraded to facilitate oil penetration. A single coat will be applied to these specific areas.
Application of Additional Coat
After the initial coat has dried (hardwax oils often have a slow drying time), an additional layer will be rolled or brushed across the entire floor. This step ensures an even sheen level once the floor is fully dry, enhancing its overall appearance and protection.
