Granwood Floor Restoration

One of our wood specialist teams visited St John’s Middle School in Bromsgrove to undertake a restoration of their tired Granwood floor in the school hall.

We started off by conducting a 3 stage sand (36, 60, 100) across the whole floor, using Bona UX Belt Sander for the main body of the floor, and completing the edges with the Bona Edge UX.

Following on from the 3 stage sand, we then repeated a 100 grit with the Klindex Levighetor, before moving on to a 120 grit finishing sand with the Lägler trio.

Once the sanding was complete, the whole floor was vacuumed, and we then went over the floor again with a tack cloth to ensure the floor was completely free of all remnants and dust.

To finish off, 3 coats of Granwax Granfinish Satin were applied to the floor over 2 days, ensuring ample drying time between each coat.
