How to fix damaged solid oak floor?
Comments (1)Hi If the oak has gone black it is unlikely you will get it back. Allow it to dry out fully then sand the surface and see if it gets paler underneath. Depending on what the original floor finish is will depend on whether you need to re sand the whole floor to achieve a uniform colour. However as a temporary measure, dry it out, sand it back and re-seal with either a uv matt varnish or a hardwax oil. Follow the instructions on the product tin. Back to the black... Oak has tannins which react with water and turn the timber black. This can seep down through the whole plank( you see it most often on worktops around the taps). If this is the case you will be better getting in a joiner/ floor fitter to replace these areas. Good luck...See MoreFixing the plainest bathroom ever
Comments (15)You have a fairly small bathroom, which is why the tiles have been kept neutral and light. What's missing is some items that will pop. You could spring for a nicer sink arrangement. The cabinet around a pedestal was never a good look. Is there enough room between the bath and the opposite wall to turn the sink and move it towards the toilet to give you more worktop space and storage at the end of the bath? If not, keep the sink where it is, but use a vanity to look more fitted. The bath can be altered to provide more storage. Although this image shows open storage, you could have a panel front created with a drop down panel on a push fitting http://www.dovcorbathrooms.co.uk/blog/view/a-great-bath-storage-idea Changing the radiator to a heated towel ladder you will be able to hang colourful towels. Put up a hand towel bar or ring above the right hand side of the sink. Get rid of the toilet roll stand and hang the roll from a holder that matches the hand towel rail. Store extra rolls under the sink. Paint the long wall in one of the colours in the border tile, perhaps a richer beige. An interesting large mirror would visually widen the room. Alternatively, try a pale blue wall colour and richer mid blue towels mixed with brown towels. (this photo shows how sophisticated blue, brown and beige can be) [https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/sioux-falls-residence-contemporary-living-room-minneapolis-phvw-vp~15685118[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/sioux-falls-residence-contemporary-living-room-minneapolis-phvw-vp~15685118) There doesn't appear to be any lighting other than overhead. A light over the sink area would vastly improve that corner. The floor does nothing for the room. Why not choose a vinyl floor from Amtico or Karndean in a dark wood board effect? The tiles in your bathroom can be skimmed over by a professional fitter and the new floor laid directly on top. It would also be warmer underfoot. http://www.karndean.com/en-gb/floors/explore-by-room/bathroom....See MoreFixed length, wide plank floor too big for my house?
Comments (3)Hi, I think it'll look fine actually. I went for structural (20mm deep with 6mm wear layer) semi-smoked engineered oak floorboards upstairs which were 180mmx1900mm planks. They look great in my 1930's house and tie in well with the original 1 over 3 panel antique pine doors. I would ask why you want lacquered finish though? It means if you get it scratched the only way to repair is to completely sand and re-lacquer. Whereas if you go for an oiled finish any high traffic areas can be patch-sanded and re-oiled as needed. Its worth asking the installer to open several packs at once and select planks at random from each to help balance out any colour variations between batches. Also I think it looks much more natural when they stagger the planks randomly so you don't end up with a pattern emerging. These photos were taken just after oiling so its a little glossy, it dried to a matte finish which is what we wanted for the natural look....See MoreLICO HYDRO FIX floor
Comments (0)The smart design floor Hydro Fix is the waterproof, highly resistant design floor with integrated impact sound. Its modern wood and stone design and low construction thickness are convincing throughout. Furthermore, Lico Hydro Fix can score with natural touch and structured surface. The water resistance, the very high dimensional stability under temperature change and the high durability make the design floor interesting for all areas. Particularly noteworthy is the integrated impact sound and the elastic intermediate layer. These underline a pleasant walking comfort and distinguish Hydro Fix significantly from other products....See More- 12 years agoEmily Hurley thanked Masterpiece Hardwood Flooring Ltd.
