When undertaking the stripping and re French polishing of various items of furniture/wood, we are able to complete this work in situ i.e. in your home/office or on site, this enables us to keep the costs down and is something that is recommended in order for the french polishers to obtain the correct colour and finish in its surrounding environment. It also gives peace of mind to clients who can then see the step by step process of bringing their furniture back to its original former glory; we have also been informed that many clients find this a fascinating process to watch.
Once sanding has been completed the floor is now clean and level ready for a stain to be applied, as can be seen in the clip, the stain being applied is a light water fast stain dye which penetrates into the wood. We believe that using a water stain is the best option as when a clear lacquer/oil or varnish is applied over the top, this protects the colour and the wood. Should any damage or wear occur the colour would remain intact and extra coats of lacquer/oil or varnish could then be applied. You can also see our flooring operative applying the finish coat of a very hard wearing polyurethane water based satin Bona lacquer.
