Project Summary
Property
Converted barn
Area
Orangery
Finish Used
Bona Mega Silk Matt
The condition
A worn finish across a distinctive ash floor
Surface marks and general wear had reduced the clarity of the ash. Sanding was used to prepare the floor properly before a fresh lacquer system was applied.
Historic specification
Bona Mega was the product used on this project
This case study records the original project accurately. WoodXpert now specifies Bona Traffic HD as the standard final lacquer for comparable current lacquered floor restorations, but the historic Bona Mega finish remains part of this project’s factual record.
Restoration process
How The Floor Was Restored
Sanding
The worn surface and marks were reduced through progressive sanding.
Preparation
The ash was refined and prepared for coating.
Sealing
The timber was sealed to support an even finish.
Historic Finish
Two coats of Bona Mega Silk Matt were applied.
The result
Ash grain brought back into focus
The restored floor regained a clearer, more settled appearance and renewed protection suited to the light-filled orangery.
