About Us

Rustic Floors is a family-owned business that has been Sanding & Polishing Timber Floors for over 25 years with many successful projects & repeat customers all over Melbourne

A polished timber floor can add value to your home, it can make cleaning easier and even enjoyable and best of all it gives you a timeless and classy look.

We offer a range of services to protect and beautify your Timber Floors.

Mainly we offer a standard sanding service and a quality 3 coat system of durable coatings applied over 2 to 3 days after usually multiple days of sanding and preparation, and then curing of the coatings which is also multiple days.

Some floors require extra work, ie. floors from kitchens and laundry with leaking appliances, people overwatering indoor plants and pets doing what they do. Often floor boards need to be replaced, assuming we can match timber.

The Clear Finish options are (I am not interested in doing any colour staining work thankyou)

1/. LOBA Water Based Polyurethanes that will keep your timber somewhat lighter in colour and then fade/discolour over time, more so with UV effects

2/. POLYCURE Solvent Based Polyurethanes that will darken (there is also a sealer option that will lighten) your timber and then fade/discolour considerably over time, again more so with UV effects.

3/. Hardwax Oils 4/. POLYCURE Tung Oil

Getting a quote: Depending on where you are located, I quote after work most days around 4-5-6ish if you are nearby or if you are further away a time will be made within the following week or two. I can also provide reasonable estimates from the latest realestate.com listings if you provide your address

FINISHES I USE and THERE CONSIDERATIONS - All coatings have some noticeable application traits and drying problems Solvent Based Polyurethanes: are considered Highly Durability but Toxic and Harmful to living things The coating EdgeBonds which is it can glue multiple boards together (only a concern if you’re expecting considerable movement). Coating Characteristics- Air Bubbles, Dust Particles & Hairs can be very noticeable, usually in concentrated areas. They fade considerably, UV light turns them yellow and orange for light coloured timbers and dark timbers will either darken or lighten. Sheen levels can differ across the floor. Solvent based coatings can be quite complicated, fair enough with the perfect conditions they can look really nice but it is unrealistic to expect perfect conditions over every part of the floor so I offer a standard service that is done modestly. If you are after something a bit nicer, this can be attempted, if requested well in advance, and appropriate time and funding is available. It does not always happen due to onsite conditions and product limitations Curing @20degrees is a thick coat with hardener(and even more noticeable application traits) maybe 2-4hrs touchdry, without hardener10-20hrs, fully cured 7-10 days Water Based Polyurethanes: Are considered Highly Durable, they come in Low Toxic(so they say) or Less Toxic(must be requested), The coating EdgeBonds which is it can glue multiple boards together (only a concern if you’re expecting considerable movement) Coating Characteristics- Some orange-peel in coating - more noticeable on darker timbers, Turns any metal in floor black staples nails etc, Yellow/Orangeing/Discolouring moreso on light timbers with excessive UV but less than other options. Can react with mess in gaps and cause staining. On softer timbers like pine there can cause considerable grain rise and highlight evidence of the sanding process creating a unique look. If you are after something a bit nicer, this can be attempted, if requested well in advance, and appropriate time and funding is available. It does not always happen due to onsite conditions and product limitations Curing At 20 Degrees 4hrs touchdry 4-5 days fully Oil Modified Urethanes/Tung Oil: Med-Low Durability, Toxic/Very Smelly, slow curing No Edgebonding Oils & Waxes: Med-Low Durability(ok with shoes off traffic), Very smelly, 2 pack varietys toxic
