Approximate finished sqm cost $6.50What to expect with an oiled floor: Initial imperfections and variances are normal with oil finishes. These are usually caused by differing absorption rates between floor boards. Controlling temperature, humidity and air exchange has a large bearing on the dry time and initial appearance of natural oil finishes.Most important is to be secure in the knowledge that an oiled floor will improve with time. Blemishes, scratches and variations will even out, gaining a rich patina, like an old, cherished, church floor. Adding Microwax to your wash water when damp mopping, enhances this natural change and Microwax can be used at any time to cloth out surface marks.Please note: All natural products are affected by the sun. Excessive amounts of strong sunlight and UV rays will have a detrimental affect on wooden floors, possibly changing the colour and drying out the timber. The most dramatic change is usually within the first 6 months of application. It is recommended that rugs and furniture be moved periodically to avoid areas of uneven colour. The affects of UV can be greatly reduced by choosing window treatments which minimalise the transmission of ultra violet light from the sun. A less common issue but one to be aware of is, the possible effect of ‘Dark Yellowing’ on all oil based finishes. This can be caused by a reaction to Ammonia in areas of low ventilation and by the absence of sunlight under rugs and behind pictures. Ammonia is released from many wall paints when drying, and also from certain cleaners and household products.Coverage: 24 sqm/LBrief: Superb, hard wearing grain fill hard oil finish for soft, medium and hardwood timber floors and joinery.
