| Lime Wash & Staining |
|
Staining is a process where we dye the timber to a darker/different color. You will still be able to see the grain, but it will completely change the color and the look of the timber. There are many varieties in colors and shades depending on what stain we apply and what type of timber you have, the same color can look different on different timber. Even the same timber can have different color variations through out: where the grains of the timber are softer its soaks in more stain making the wood darker, where the grains are denser it soaks up less making it a bit lighter. That allows the staining process to add a character and lets the beauty of timber get through. Lime washing is method to give a timber an airy, milky white look while still being able to see the grains. If you looking for a way to get your boards looking lighter than its original color lime wash could be good solution for you. There are many different lime wash products, some are not suitable for certain timber types, some are, we are here to help you to find the right product for your home or project. Please note that such as staining, lime wash will keep certain characteristics of timber and therefore will have small variations throughout your floor (grains, knots, etc.) |

Carpet/Floor Covering Removal and DisposalIn many Australian homes solid timber floor is just a carpet away. As back in days floor sanding was not existing or wasn’t widely available all those beautiful timbers has been just covered over with carpet, linoleum sometimes even tiles. Before we start sanding we need to remove all these Floor Coverings and dispose it at the nearest Waste Management Center. In the case of budget restraints you may pull it up and dispose it yourself to save a bit of money. Here’s how we do it: Carpets needs to be cut up in 1-2 meter wide wall to wall then rolled up tight, same with the underlay. Carpet grippers around the edges need to the removed by a crowbar or hammer and chisel and rolled up in underlay so it’s safe to move. Then all small nails and tacks left behind needs to be taken out with the help of pliers. Linoleum is usually glued to Masonite boards can be removed board by board relatively easily. The removal of tacks and small nails left behind is the most time consuming which. Linoleum is often used in kitchens and in most cases they’ve put the cabinets on top, so unless you are removing them, you’ll need to chisel around the cabinets as neat as you can. Removing tiles is probably the most physically challenging from all as depending on how they were glued they may need to be broken up by a jack hammer.
Beadings/rampsOften when removing floor covering there is common problem of being left with a big gap between the skirting boards. The best way is to fix this problem is install beadings around the skirting to cover these gaps. Then the beading can be coated, stained, lime washed like the rest of the floor, or can be painted to the same color such as your skirting boards. If there are thresholds where there is a big difference in level, we can install a custom made ramp to make it safe for your feet to walk on. |
