This rare basket-weave flooring restoration project is a perfect example of how professional floor sanding and sealing can completely transform a space. When we first visited the property, the hallway floor was looking old, worn, and tired, with years of foot traffic dulling its original character and charm. It was clear the floor needed expert care to bring it back to life.

At Decorus Flooring, we carefully sanded the hallway using a Lagler Trio Disc sanding machine — an advanced, industry-leading piece of equipment designed to sand, clean, and polish wooden floors with exceptional precision. This method provides a smooth, even finish while minimising disruption and achieving outstanding results, especially on intricate patterns such as basket weave.

Once sanding was complete, we applied a high-quality floor seal, a specialist chemical solution that protects the wood while restoring its natural appearance. Sealing not only enhances theflooring’ss appearance but also provides long-lasting protection against daily wear and tear, helping preserve the floor for years to come, especially in busy family homes.

One of the most rewarding aspects of this project was revealing the original basket-weave pattern, which had been hidden beneath years of wear or, on some occasions, even carpets. Our customer was completely unaware of thefloor’ss beautiful design and was absolutely delighted with the transformation.

This project highlights the value of professional wood floor restoration, particularly for traditional and heritage flooring. With the right expertise and equipment, even tired floors can be restored to their former glory.
