Looking after wide-board floors in Coogee
Many of the newer homes around Port Coogee have wide engineered timber boards – a popular look in coastal homes. Wide boards show wear and scratches more clearly than narrow ones, because there are fewer joins to break up the surface. Floor sanding in Coogee often starts with knowing when these floors need their first recoat.
A recoat before the finish wears through keeps wide engineered boards protected and avoids the need for sanding, which isn’t always possible on thinner timber layers. We buff the existing finish, clean thoroughly and apply a fresh protective coat.
Coogee’s older homes, closer to the original beach streets, often have solid timber floors. These can be fully sanded and polished back to fresh timber, with gaps filled and edges finished neatly.
