CASE STUDY
Restoring a Damaged Timber Floor
THE BEFORE — detail before restoration
The Challenge
The affected boards sat in a high-traffic hallway, so any repair needed to withstand daily wear while matching the surrounding oak's colour, grain direction and years of natural patina.
The Process
The damaged section was cut back, rebuilt and colour-matched board by board, with the grain direction and finish sheen tested against the surrounding floor before final application.
THE PROCESS — restoration in progress
The Detail
Colour, grain or veining, texture and finish were all checked against the surrounding surface before the repair was considered complete.
THE DETAIL — matching the surrounding surface
THE AFTER — completed restoration
BEFORE / AFTER
Compare the result.
Result
The repaired boards read as part of the original floor rather than a patch — the goal throughout was a result that disappears rather than one that draws attention to itself.
