Expert Floor Sanding in Cornwall

Aspen Sanding recently completed expert foor sanding in Cornwalls on an oak and pine floor at a lovely barn conversion property located on the beautiful south coast of Cornwall, between Looe and Polperro, overlooking Talland Bay and St Austell Bay. This picturesque location offered the perfect backdrop to our floor sanding work.

Reverse Accommodation Barn Conversion

This unique barn conversion features reverse accommodation, with the living room and kitchen situated upstairs and the bedrooms downstairs. The bedrooms were all finished with pine flooring, and Aspen Sanding will be returning later this year to sand the ground floor once the owners have more space to move their furniture.

High-Quality Floor Restoration

The flooring consisted of solid mixed-width oak boards with underfloor heating below. The thickness of the floor was approximately 24mm, and the boards ranged from 125mm to 225mm wide. This floor had not been sanded since its initial installation more than 20 years ago. It was nailed onto joists and exhibited some natural splits and cracks, which we carefully filled using a black polyester resin for a seamless finish.

To preserve the oak’s natural beauty, we applied a Bona natural primer followed by two coats of Bona HD Extra Matt for a durable, elegant finish. The results were stunning, restoring the floor to its former glory while maintaining its character.

Stair Sanding and Anti-Slip Finish

In addition to the flooring, we sanded the property’s 300mm x 300mm solid oak stair treads. These were lightly sanded and finished with an anti-slip Bona lacquer, ensuring safety for the owners and their two dogs.

Stunning Results and Happy Clients

The owners were thrilled with the transformation and finish of their floors and stairs. The completed project showcases Aspen Sanding’s commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail.
