Why Recoat Your Timber Floors?
Recoating timber floors is essential for preserving their beauty and enhancing their longevity. Daily foot traffic, sunlight, and general wear can dull the surface of timber floors, diminishing their natural shine and leaving them vulnerable to damage. Regular timber floor treatments like recoating can restore their finish, enhance protection, and extend the life of your flooring. At Enviro Floors, we provide a range of high-quality timber floor finishes that add resilience and beauty, letting you choose from gloss, satin, and matte options to suit your space’s unique style.
Enviro Floors prioritises the use of non-toxic, water-based timber floor sealers and coatings, making our recoating process ideal for families and environmentally-conscious homeowners. This approach ensures a high-quality, durable surface that resists wear without releasing harsh chemicals into your home. By recoating, you’re not only refreshing the appearance of your floors but also taking a proactive approach to long-term maintenance that can save on costly repairs or replacements in the future.
Our Timber Floor Recoating Process
At Enviro Floors, we have developed a thorough yet efficient recoating process that delivers flawless results. Here’s how it works:
- Surface Preparation: Before applying any finish, we prepare the timber surface to ensure maximum adhesion. Our team cleans the floors meticulously, removing dirt, dust, and residues from previous finishes. For floors with minor imperfections, we lightly sand them to create an even surface, ensuring a smooth foundation for the new coating.
- Application of Timber Floor Coating: After the floors are prepped, we apply a premium water-based polyurethane coating. This timber floor clear coat dries quickly, reducing downtime, and provides a protective layer that guards against wear. We use floor finishing products specifically formulated to highlight the timber’s natural beauty while enhancing its durability.
- Multiple Coats for Lasting Protection: Depending on the level of protection you desire, we can apply multiple coats of our timber floor coating products. These additional layers add depth to the finish, amplify the shine, and strengthen the floor’s resistance to scuffs and spills.
- Final Inspection: Once the recoating is complete, our team performs a final inspection to ensure the finish meets our high-quality standards. The result is a flawless, resilient surface that breathes new life into your timber floors.
Timber Floor Coating Options
Enviro Floors offers a selection of timber floor coatings to suit your preferences and flooring needs. We specialise in water-based timber floor sealers and clear coats that provide a natural yet durable finish. Water-based coatings are highly popular because they dry quickly, emit fewer VOCs, and deliver a beautifully even, crystal-clear finish.
- Gloss Finish: Adds a radiant shine that enhances the look of any space.
- Satin Finish: Offers a subtle sheen that complements both classic and modern interiors.
- Matte Finish: Provides a low-shine look that accentuates the timber’s natural texture and is ideal for contemporary spaces.
Each finish provides robust protection, extending the life of your timber floors while enhancing their natural beauty. These finishes are formulated to withstand heavy foot traffic, making them suitable for both residential and commercial spaces.
Our Process
Step 1
Talk & Plan
Agree on goals, finish, access, and timings for floors, decks, or stairs.
We listen to how you use the space and the look you want. We’ll confirm finish type, colour/tint if needed, slip needs, access during works, and your timeline. We explain dust‑control, noise, and how long each area will be out of action.
Service‑specific notes:
Floors: Water‑based polyurethane, gloss levels: Matt, Satin, Gloss.
Decks: Oil type (natural/tinted), slip needs, sun exposure, and weather window.
Stairs: Access plan during works; slip‑resistant options for treads/landings.
Step 2
Inspect & Measure
We measure accurately and assess the surface so there are no surprises. We look for wear, previous sanding, movement, gaps, moisture risks, and hard-to-reach areas.
Service-specific notes:
Floors: Board thickness, past sanding, nail heads, cupping, gaps, squeaks.
Decks: Loose/rotten boards, raised fasteners, greying/mould, moisture; rails and steps.
Stairs: Nosings, squeaks, gaps; treads, risers, stringers, handrails.
Step 3
Quote & Schedule
You’ll receive a fixed-price quote listing prep, sanding sequence, number of coats, and clean-up. We lock in dates and explain cure times—when you can walk, move furniture, or use stairs safely.
Service-specific notes:
Floors: Sequence inc. edges/detail (where suitable), typical three coats.
Decks: Wash/clean, sanding, oil type/coats; booked dry-weather window and rain plan.
Stairs: Staged access (e.g., alternating treads or overnight coats); slip additive.
Step 4
Prep
We protect adjacent areas, isolate work zones, complete minor repairs, and set up dust extraction. We vacuum thoroughly before finishing begins.
Service-specific notes:
Floors: Punch/re-set nails; arrange minor repairs; furniture help by arrangement.
Decks: Wash/treat and dry; replace damaged boards.
Stairs: Protect floors below; fix squeaks and fill holes.
Step 5
Sand & Finish
We sand in stages (coarse 40-grit → medium 60-grit → fine 100-grit), including edges and detail areas. If you’ve chosen a stain/tint, we apply it, then lay down coats to the manufacturer’s specs with inter-coat buffing as needed. We mark off areas until safe.
Service-specific notes:
Floors: Typical three coats; socks-only timing and furniture return guidance.
Decks: Even coats, wipe excess as required; rope off until dry; traffic/furniture timings.
Stairs: Detail around nosings/risers; slip-resistant additive available; staged opening of treads.
Step 6
After-Care
With all jobs, you’ll get a QBCC workmanship warranty and a direct contact for any questions.
Service-specific notes:
Floors: Cleaning routine, felt pads, rugs, and when to book maintenance.
Decks: Cleaning and re-oil timing (often every 6–12 months, sun/use dependent).
Stairs: Cleaning tips; runners/anti-slip options for extra grip.
