Which varnish brand is best?
Comments (4)We stained our floor and then used Osmo. Great finish but you have to treat the floor with care (I scratched up the wax finish pushing a chair back and forth). Add soft sticky pads to the bottom of all your furniture and then isn't too much of a problem (you can buy them on eBay). You do need to reapply osmo once a year but I think all floor treatments need redoing periodically....See MoreParquet flooring maintenance after sanding/varnishing
Comments (2)hi Natalie, you used Ronseal Diamond Hard floor varnish A quick drying, water-based, clear floor varnish for most types of wooden floor Offers a tough, durable finish, ideal for high traffic areas in domestic environments Protects against knocks, scratches and spillages Resistant to household chemicals etc I don't think you need to add anything else on top... maybe another coat of Ronseal to be on the safe side. Unfortunately, on site oiling or varnishing are never as durable as factory made varnishing, but the idea of having to apply another coat on top of a recently varnished floor is simply wrong. Try on a small area first as varnish components may not be compatible....See MoreI've just sanded my parquet flooring down and want to polish it what's
Comments (8)I'd suggest the osmo Raw oil, it's what we are going to use on our reclaimed parquet (once we've laid it) . We don't want the floor to yellow as is often the case with other products and we're not after the shiny look either. It's expensive but a little goes a long way. Extract from their website: Osmo Polyx®-Oils are developed from natural oils and waxes to provide the most hardwearing and durable protection for wooden flooring and furniture. Untreated wood in its original form has a light, pale character from its natural 'raw' appearance. Sanded wood also has the same effect. Osmo Polyx®-Oil 3044 Raw is designed to retain this appearance by using a small amount of white pigments to neutralise the permanent 'wet-look' that develops after application of a clear finish. Apply very thinly and brush out any white pigments from the surface before leaving to dry to acheive the desired results....See MoreParquet floor discovered?
Comments (9)Hi, we found same parquet in our 50’s house- sanded it back and went to a nice oak colour, refinished originally with a dead flat varnish but over last 5 years went a bit yellow- recently resanded and finished with osmo white wax oil finish. We had some gaps that we filled with osmo floor gap filler. There were some loose ones that we stuck back down to the bitumen with no more nails which I’m sure is a no no but it worked. We borrowed a band sander so was cheap to do, but in hindsight you could hire a rotary sander for a day which wouldn’t be too expensive and much quicker. We love it- def worth keeping. The first pic with half and half shows the previous yellow varnish and the others are the raw wood/finished with white oil wax....See Morejessegee
