Choosing the right sheen for your Leeming floor

Satin-finish floor in a Leeming family home

One of the biggest decisions in any floor job is the sheen – how shiny the finished floor will be. It affects how the timber looks, how much wear shows and how the room feels. Floor sanding in Leeming with us starts with a clear explanation of the options.

A matt finish has almost no shine and gives a natural, modern look that hides scratches and footprints. Satin has a soft glow and is the most popular choice for family homes. Semi-gloss and gloss reflect more light and show off the depth of the timber, but they also show more marks.

Your choice should suit how you live. Busy households with kids and pets often prefer matt or satin, while formal living areas and low-traffic rooms can carry a higher gloss. We can show samples on your own timber before the final coats.

How we sand and polish Leeming floors

The sheen is agreed upfront, then the floor is sanded and coated.

  1. Assess the floor

    Is it a recoat or a full sand? We check the wear and tell you honestly.

  2. Prepare and protect

    Furniture out, nails set, doorways and joinery protected from dust.

  3. Level the floor

    The main sander removes old coatings and evens out cupped or worn boards.

  4. Edge and fill

    Perimeter sanding, then gaps and holes filled for a smooth, even surface.

  5. Coats and cure

    Finish coats go on with drying time between each, then the floor cures.

Floor sanding Leeming – common questions

Which sheen hides scratches best?

Matt hides scratches and footprints best, followed by satin. Gloss shows the most marks.

Is matt less durable than gloss?

No. Modern matt finishes are just as durable – they simply reflect less light.

Can I see samples before choosing?

Yes. We can show how different sheens look on your timber before the final coats.

Can different rooms have different sheens?

They can, but one sheen throughout usually looks more consistent, especially in open-plan areas.
