European oak herring bone parquetry.

My friend Leif and I installed this European oak parquetry on a concrete slab. We had to do a moisture barrier before we could glue the parquetry. The difficult thing was to work out where to start as the herring bone pattern went diagonaly instead of straigt towards the light (back balcony doors) which is the most common way of laying! Afterwards the kitchen and all skirtings, architraves, tiling, painting, electrics and appliances where installed. I was the last one to finish as it is recomended to have as few workmen afterwards as possible. The floor was finished in Bona Traffic matt finish.

When Non-toxic coating is great!

I got this job, sanding and polish Bright side kindergarten in Boronia. It had to be done over 2 weekends as the place couldn't be closed for any period of time. I had a friend help me as we had to move furnitures, remove carpets, do some repairs and then sand and polish into the very late evenings. Bona's Traffic matt was used and the kids could be back on the mondays to continue their play. That's when a non- toxic coating is great!


Here are some before and after shots.
