Sanding, Lacquering & Line Marking

9/8/2019

Community centre halls and school gym halls can be transformed as evidenced by the transformation that Citrus where able to achieve in one week of the school holiday shut down at Robert Douglas Memorial School in Scone near Perth. 
The floors are a beautiful pitch pine, structurally sound but the lacquer was old, dirty and scratched to death, the badminton court line markings although still present where  chipped and worn and the floor was covered in deep scratches and gouges. The old lacquer was stripped off using 24 grit pads on a Pallmann Cobra drum sander. We then progressed up the grits, 40,60, with the drum sander then switched to the Pallmann Spider using 60 80 and 100 grit pads to finish the floor. The floors were water popped at 80 grit to check for machine marks before moving up the grades. The floors were then primed with a commercial wood primer and the first coat of two part commercial lacquer was applied, the following day the floor was de-nibbed before settling out the courts, as well as the badminton court we also added basketball and netball courts before protecting them with two further coats of commercial lacquer.

If you have pulled up carpets to reveal floorboards that are cupped in places, have some damage and have a horrible thick dark lacquer on them, can they be restored?
The answer is invariably Yes

If you want to prepare old floor boards for painting you may want to call Citrus Floorcare 

We can do basic repairs including: board replacement, filling and removing the toffee like varnish around the margins of the room, remove any crowning or cupping by diagonally cutting and flattening the floor, remove and disguise fire place hearths, leaving the floors ready for painting.

Stiletto heal marks

Can stiletto heal marks be removed from wooden floors?
The answer to the question is invariably yes, as can be seen from the attached photos.
However, there are some provisos to this, in the photos the floor has been sanded with 24 grit pads to remove the existing finish however in order to remove the stiletto heal marks we had to recut the floor taking off about 2 millimetres in total. You therefore need to have that amount of wood available to cut away, on solid hard wood floors this is not usually a problem, but you can run into problems with engineered boards especially if they have been sanded before.
This can all be assessed at the initial survey and the options can be talked through
