Whitewashing Timber Floors

Whitewashing timber floors can really enhance a room, making it look more spacious, airy, and inviting. The process involves sanding, and applying a white stain and seal over the top of your current timber floors. Lightening your existing timber floors is a simple and easy way to modernise and brighten your home with sleek and subtle tones and saves you the trouble of installing brand new timber flooring. The method of whitewashing your timber floors creates texture and dimension. Whether you’re after a beachy, farmhouse or ultra-minimalist Scandinavian look, the art of whitewashing timber floors can transform your home instantly. Our flooring experts are meticulous when it comes to the craft of whitewashing timber and can provide you with accurate expectations on how to take care of your new timber floors after the finished result.

Staining Timber Floors

Staining your timber floors using a topcoat stain is a great way revamp your current flooring to create a polished, sophisticated, and luxurious look. The process will darken your timber floors, without masking the natural characteristics and grains that make wooden floors beautiful and unique. Staining your existing timber floors is a wonderful way to restyle your home, and relieves you from the expenses of installing new timber floors. There are several colours and shades you can choose from for your timber floors, depending on how dark of a finish you want and what kind of interior style you are envisioning for your home. Our team of flooring professionals can not only give you recommendations based on the current condition of your wooden floors, but we also take time to assess your needs beforehand until you’re satisfied with the approach. We make sure to apply the stain directly to the timber to achieve the best possible finish and long-lasting results for all our clients.

Liming Timber Floors

Similar to white washing, liming your timber floors creates a lighter look for your home. Just like white washing, liming your timber will brighten the wood without compromising all its character, knots and natural grains. However, liming does not give you a continuous white colour tone that the white washing approach achieves. Applying a few coats of lime will give your timber floors a whiter, translucent tone and a single coat creates a more transparent white tone. At ITB Floors we use premium, quality lime wash to create a striking, modern and luxurious finish for your timber floors. We work with you in partnership to ensure you’re happy with the style and end result for your lime washed timber floors.
