A new Tasmainian oak floor in Caulfield North.

I had the oppertunity to lay,sand and finish 220 m2 of Tassie oak flooring in Caulfield North for LBA Constructions earlier this year. The owners of the house had the floors specially milled to 65/14mm. Being a very narrow flooring it took a while to lay, but the result is great.

The floor was fully glued and secret nailed. The floors was laid and then left for other trades to finish, except for the scirting boards wich was installed after the floors was totally finished. I did several colour samples direct on the floor  for the owners to see. They decided on a ebony/ natural mix. I used Bona Dri Fast direct stain first and then Bona traffic HD Extra Matt finish. Here are some photos from the job.

Get the blond look baltic pine.

The owners of this Elwood house wanted a clean blond looking floor. They did't want the boards to turn orange as it can with solvent based polyuruthane. So Bona Dri fast white direct stain and Bona Traffic HD satin finish was their choice. As Bona Traffic Hd is one of the markets most durable and has the lowest VOC, the choice was easy.

Here are some before and after photos.
