We take pride in our ability to restore worn-out hardwood floors back to their original glory, enhancing not just their aesthetic appeal but also their durability.

About The Job

The Tring Natural History Museum, a charming edifice with an array of fascinating exhibits, was facing a challenge common to many commercial spaces – its beautiful hardwood floors were showing signs of wear due to constant foot traffic. These floors weren’t just functional elements; they added significantly to the overall character of the building and complimented perfectly with the rustic charm of its exhibits. It was crucial for us at GJP Floor Sanding that while restoring these floors, we maintained their historical integrity and minimised disruption to museum operations.

Challenges Faced

Our team had two primary challenges: first, working within narrow hallways where space constraints could potentially hinder our equipment operation; secondly ensuring careful handling around delicate museum displays during floor restoration.

What We Did

As experts in floor sanding and restoration services for over 21 years, we approached this task methodically using high-grade professional lacquers like Bonakemi, Loba Junkers and Loba along with Blanchon gap filling resin for optimal results.

Firstly, we conducted a thorough assessment of all areas requiring attention. This allowed us to formulate an effective strategy tailored specifically towards tackling distinct issues presented by different sections within the building without compromising on quality or efficiency.

Next came sanding down heavily used sections which showed significant wear while being mindful about dust control measures given sensitive surroundings.

After sanding process completion followed by meticulous cleaning up efforts ensured removal any residual dust particles from surfaces including those hard-to-reach corners thus leaving behind pristine environment ready next stage – finishing touch-ups.

For this step involved application Morrells professional wood stains chosen carefully match existing colour tones thereby maintaining continuity throughout entire space then sealing it off help protect against future damage caused by heavy footfall or accidental spills etcetera finally oil treatment Osmo oils gave wooden surface rich lustre enhanced natural grain patterns beautifully contributing overall ambiance setting inside museum premises.
