A New Look for a Northport Gem
Existing 5" Brazilian Cherry Flooring sanded and finished with 2 coats hardwood flooring bleach, 1 coat Dura Seal Rustic Beige stain and 3 coats Bona Traffic HD Extra Matte water based polyurethane. Handrails, Newel Posts and Stair treads sanded and finished with True Black stain and 3 coats Bona Traffic HD Extra Matte water based polyurethane.
We are always up for a challenge, so when these customers asked us to lighten their Bright Red Brazilian Cherry flooring, we said sure! Challenges of course were toning down the Red in these floors so that we could stain them a different color, as well as sanding all the handrails and posts entirely by hand. One coat of bleach was definitely not enough, as the floors were still quite red. After a second heavy coat of bleach, we were satisfied with the results and were able to continue with the rest of the work! We were thrilled with how these used-to-be-angry-red floors came out.
