A hidden hardwood floor, rescued from under carpet

The brief

A Robina family lifted a corner of their tired bedroom carpet and found tongue-and-groove hardwood underneath. They called us to find out whether the whole house was hiding a floor worth saving - it was.

What we did

We pulled up the carpet, underlay and a few hundred staples, then cut the hardwood back through three grades to clean timber. Decades of gaps were filled, a handful of paint spots lifted and a few water-stained boards near the bathroom blended in.

With kids and a dog, they wanted low-maintenance and natural underfoot, so we finished in a modified poly oil at matte - the soft, contemporary look with easy spot repairs down the track if a chair leg ever digs in.

The finish

A whole house of beautiful hardwood that had been hidden for thirty years - for a fraction of the cost of new floors. Matte, warm and forgiving of everyday family life. Four days across the house.

“We had no idea this floor was under our carpet. It’s transformed the house and cost a fraction of replacing it.” - The Patels, Robina
