Sanding, Lacquering & Line Marking

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.
