Fir Wood Floor Water-based Refinish with Stain- Nashua, NH

These bedroom floors were definitely ready to be refinished. This fir wood flooring had been stained and had seen a lot of traffic.

As usual, our dust containment system kept the dust particles off of the surfaces in the home. We were able to place the containment unit outside a 2nd floor window and run the hose up to our machines.

The blue hose connects to the drum sander and evacuates the dust into the containment system.

We use a Festool Hepa Vac with our edger machines to create a portable containment system for dustless edging.

As you can see from the bare wood, fir shows tones of brown, red, and yellow. This presents an opportunity to apply a natural finish an emphasize the character, or apply stain to create a unique look. In this case we applied a nice, medium stain to the fir wood floors. 

Once we had some flooring sanded we applied stain samples for the customer to see before they decided on a color. This darker spot below is a sample of what it will look like when finished.

Finally, we applied Bona Mega polyurethane to finish the floors. This is a waterborne finish and is Greenguard Certified for indoor air quality.

 

You can see a lot of the colors of the fir wood coming through.
