5 Star Floors Services
- Free Quotations and Professional advice:
5 Star Floors are happy to provide obligation free quotations and professional advice on all types of timber floors.
- Sanding & Polishing:
Sanding and polishing of existing or new timber floors is a large part of our business. Our machinery is less than 5 years old and very well maintained, consequently our work in this area is relatively dust free.
- Supply and Installation:
5 Star Floors can carry out the entire timber flooring project from assistance with choice to advice on timber selection regarding the various characteristics of different timbers (eg. as density and moisture content). With the correct preparation, Timber Floors can be attached to any substrate such as concrete slab, joists or over existing timber/particle board etc.
- Staining:
5 Star Floors specialises in coloured floors. With our unique methods we can achieve any colour you desire from a limed timber floor to a black japan or anything in between.
From the light cream pink colours of Victorian Ash to the dark reds of Jarrah, there are dozens of timber and stain varieties to choose from. The photos in our website gallery give merely an indication of the range available; our main suppliers of timber also have an excellent on-site showroom in which a wide variety of timber sample panels can be viewed.
- Repairs:
Timber matching and blending is a 5 Star Floors specialty. Whether it be removing an old hearth or blending in an entire extension, staggering boards into the existing floor using remilled or recycled timber of the same variety can acheive overall uniformity of the finished product.
- Maintenance:
Once we finish a project for a customer we note, on the customer's invoice, the product used to seal the floor. Keeping this for future reference allows the customer to seek a timely cutback and recoat every 5 to 7 years prior to the sealer wearing through, lengthening the lifespan of the finish and avoiding the need for a complete resand prior to coating.
- Cleaning:
Most professional cleaners will advise to use a wax based product which adds a "sacrificial" coating to the finish. Using these wax based products on a timber floor means you are then unable to apply a recoat, leaving a complete resand as the only option once the floor starts to discolour from the layers of wax. We do not recommend the use of these wax based products on timber floors. 5 Star Floors can advise on effective cleaning methods during consultation. We also provide guidelines here.
