Color development
On-site sample swatch tests
Applying stain test patches directly onto your sanded floor to see how the timber absorbs pigments before color work starts.
Water popping pore open
Misting the raw timber floor with water to open wood grain pores, achieving a deep, rich, and uniform stain penetration.
Uniform hand application
Buffing stains into the floor by hand and machine to ensure a blotch-free, consistent color coverage.
Locking & protection
Polyurethane barrier coats
Applying specialist sealers that lock in the stain pigments and prevent bleeding into the top protective lacquer coats.
UV-resistant finishes
Top coat sealants that shield the stained timber from sun exposure and UV color fading.
Grain pop highlighting
Enhancing natural wood grain profiles using specialized pigment layers and high-durability primers.
