Hello LF. It is clear, no stain to show the natural wood color as is. Best, M.

Hi redkez78. If you like the natural silvered grey look it's really worth the wait. See our shed - just built in first photo and 2 years later in the other images (under veranda you can still see the difference as it's sheltered so will take longer). Friends speeded this up on their house by washing wood down with a large broom and a weak solution of water and bleach which worked well (see Art House B&B, Isle of Skye www.arthouse-skye.co.uk). Maybe good to test on a spare piece of wood first. Advantages - no maintenance at all and it looks beautiful! Alternatively you could use a water based pale grey exterior wood paint well watered down to create a 'wash' effect so you can still see the wood grain and you don't need to paint so neatly. Paint with a large brush then wipe excess off. Again, test on spare pieces of wood to get the effect you like, experimenting with percentage of water to paint. Personally, I'd go for the natural silvered look but that's just my taste! Good luck! Tricia from www.CoastWoodCotton.etsy.com

What to do with hearthstone when polishing/staining old floorboards?
Q
Comments (0)
I moved into my Victorian home six months ago and am redecorating all of the rooms. They are in different states but mostly pretty good condition. At some point over the last century the dining room has had the entire fireplace and chimney breast removed. I discovered this when the walls were stripped and re-wallpapered over the weekend. My next job is to get the floors sanded and varnished. Yesterday I peeled back the (hideous) carpet and discovered a large concrete slab, presumably where the old hearthstone used to be (or the hearthstone itself? I have no idea). My friend suggested tiling over it, which I'm not opposed to in theory. My problem is that not only is the hearthstone itself 50cm deep, but since the chimney breast no longer exists, it's a further 40cm away from where the wall now is (with well-fitted stumpy bits of wood in between the wall and the back of the concrete). So that's almost a metre out, in a room which is only 2.8m wide anyway and which I am using as a dining room - i.e. the table in the centre of the room, so the hearthstone will be right underneath the chairs, and the edges would be a trip hazard. It wouldn't really matter in any other room since the furniture could be rearranged to accommodate it. But in a dining room, raising it in any way (i.e. tiling) simply isn't practical. Has this completely scuppered my plans to sand down the floorboards? Will I need to shell out for new wooden flooring that covers the entire floor? Or is there some way of removing this slab and its stubby surrounds, and filling the gap with reclaimed floorboards, without causing irreparable damage to the house? There is a bit of chipboard in place of some floorboards but only in one corner. The remainder are, I believe, the original floorboards from 1876. I'm very open to creative suggestions, but whatever happens, I refuse to have carpet in the dining room. The hearthstone is under the carpet on the left of this photo.

Polished Concrete Floor Staining / Cleaning / Sealer
Q
Comments (0)
Wanted: Advise / experience for keeping polished concrete floor clean in kitchen. - Has anyone tried an impermeable sealer instead of the breather sealers initially used? - Anyone with long term use of a polished concrete floor in a kitchen (years)? Any tips? - Anyone will kids or pets have cleaning issues or staining? I had an extension in 2019 with a polished concrete floor and what nobody tells you is that they are a nightmare to keep clean! The floor seems to stain very easily. The advice from the likes of Lazenby and The Concrete Flooring Contractors (who I used) is to wash the floor twice a week. Not very convenient for working families! Dropping anything that contains grease seems to stain the floor (cooking oils, butter etc). Our floor is in a kitchen extension so is prone to spills, splashes, spitting oil etc. We obviously clean up any spills that we notice however if we miss something and find it later it will usually stain the floor. The sealer used is Ameripolish 3DSP and SR2. These are breathable sealers but are not impenetrable. I understand that the initial sealers need to be breathable to let moisture escape as the concrete floor is not 100% dry throughout when the sealer is applied but after a year or so surely it is fine to place a completely impermeable sealer over the top? Has anyone tried this? At this rate I would not recommend or get another polished concrete floor and would get concrete effect large format porcelain tiles instead. Anyone with similar experience or suggestions please get in touch. Thank you
