Sunderland ave was a big project, we were engaged to supply, lay and sand/coat the 10 heritage homes in Hobsonville Point. We laid a combination of new matai and existing flooring that was being pulled out of the houses we were still to work on. Below is an example of one of the 10 houses we worked on.

Polyurethane Finish: Matte

We were asked by Construct Interiors to lay an engineered floor with an acoustic underlay in the head office of Ice Breaker in Ponsonby.

We laid a pre-finished engineered floor in the new SEED retail shop in Ponsonby.

This is the second SEED shop we laid a prefinished engineered oak floor.

This is a brand new house where we laid newly machine coloured matai and then finished the floor with a matt commercial waterbased polyurethane.

This client wanted a fairly rustic looking rimu floor, after some samples and discussions he settled on using recycled rimu flooring machined to a width of 120mm.

Polyurethane Finish: Satin

This project involved laying new Tawa flooring to match the existing floors and then followed by sanding and polyurethaning..

We laid a new american white oak floor at this property and then finished the floor in a satin waterbased polyurethane.

We laid a new american white oak floor on concrete at this property, followed by a basic sand and polyurethaning.

We laid new american white oak on the stairs at this property and then finished the floor in a satin waterbased polyurethane.

The downstairs lounge had carpet down with the kitchen and dining area being kwila, Chris asked us to lay new kwila timber and then sand and polyurethane the whole lot.

The client asked us to re-level the floor in their house as it was sloping downwards around 60mm across a 3m area. You could literally put a ball at the top of the slope and it would race down towards the far corner. We also had to put some new joists in and replace the particle board with rimu.

Cooper Street required the removal of particle board in the lounge, dining and kitchen area. Once we pulled up the particle board it became apparent that when the extension was completed they didn’t install nogs between the joists under the floor, this meant that the board ends had nothing to rest on. We installed nogs throughout the area then laid the new timber.

The client asked us to replace an area of particle board in their lounge and then sand and polyurethane the new area, the kitchen and hallway to match the finish.

This floor was coated in a clear moisture cured polyurethane which had gone a horrible yellow orange colour before we resanded and white washed it.

Originally done in a moisture cured polyurethane we were asked to white wash this rimu floor.

A previous white washed floor in need or some attention.

This client wanted a fairly white floor to match a white colour scheme in their home. We white washed this floor with 4 tinted coats of polyurethane over the top of the white base stain coat.

This floor is a combination of matai on the upper level where the kitchen and lounge is and rimu on the lower level in the hallway and bedrooms.

This client had a matai floor that wanted white washed, the floor is mostly heart matai with a little bit of coloured matai in one bedroom.

This client at this property did not like the yellow colour of pine and did not want to stain the floors dark so it was decided to apply a complete white block out colour over the timber.

Stain Colour: Full block out colour

Gusto Restaurant was going through a renovation project and required the floors to be resanded, stain and polyurethane.

The whole house was repainted, some repairs were required to the flooring after which we sanded, stained and coated the floor with a matte moisture cured polyurethane.

The property involved resanding the existing flooring and the newly laid matai, then staining the whole lot a dark walnut.

This floor required extensive repairs in every single room before the floor sanding process could start. After the sanding we stained the floor in a beautiful brown oak stain and then applied a satin polyurethane over the top of that.

A concrete slab had to be removed in the hallway along with some other repairs to the floor before we starting the floor sanding process.

This property required a tiled area in the foyer removed before the floor sanding process followed by staining.

Our clients wanted to get away from the red shade that matai has, after a bit of experimenting we came up with a stain colour that neutralised the red of the matai. The timber was very dry and hence we have to reduce down the stain a fair amount to stop the floor turning almost black.

The property in this case had a coloured matai floor which the clients wanted stained. In the end a mixture of two stains was used to achieve the colour they wanted.

Stain Colour: 50/50 mix of dark walnut and mid brown.

The whole floor was covered in vinyl residue, after removing the residue we stained the floor in a full walnut stain and then finished it off with a satin moisture cured polyurethane.

Stain Colour: Walnut

This property was completely renovated including extending the Tawa floor, installing pine stairs and oak downstairs in the entrance way. Looking at the picture the darker stained area upstairs is tawa and the lighter shade is oak. The reason for the colour difference is due to the older softer tawa absorbing more stain than the oak which is a fairly hard timber.

Stain Colour: Earth

This one was a pretty straight forward job. Its a pine floor that the customer wanted stained but was worried about going too dark so we reduced the walnut stain down 50%.

Stain Colour: Walnut

This property had severe sun damage along the french doors and the only way to remedy the damage was to completely resand the floor and recoat it.

The floor at this property had some sun damage in areas and was showing general wear. Was a simply job to complete the floor sanding and polyurethane the floor.

This floor was showing a bit of wear and tear before we resanded and polyurethaned it. We also had to replace a few parquet fingers right in front of the bar where they had been covered by brass plates.

The floor had some sun and water damage in the kitchen which the customer wanted removed as the house was going up for sale. Floors came up like new after a sand.

This is an art centre in Pakuranga where we were asked to resand and polyurethane a dance floor. We also later recoated the auditorium.

This parquet floor was badly scratched up before we sanded it and polyurethaned it again.

This was a straight forward resand and polyurethaning job.

This is a newly renovated house in Parnell with a beautiful gloss finish.

Wimpey street is a rental property that was showing some wear and tear, a simple resand and recoat and she’s good as new!

This is a client we had done work for before, she approached us when she purchased her new property which was a do up project. The floors were covered in old carpet with stick down underlay. She wanted a finish which was as natural as possible and hence decided to have her floors oiled.

Eltham road required extensive repairs to the floor. We replaced some newly laid timber due to the builders not stitching the new boards into the existing floor creating a straight line. There were also a couple of sections of particle board which were replaced with new timber.

We didn't polyurethane this property, it was simply a large repair that we carried out and followed by a sand only request.
