Technical Case Study
Commercial Refinishing on a 2mm Wear Layer.
The Challenge
A third party maintenance company applied an improper finish that compromised the integrity of a custom engineered floor. With only a 2mm sawn face wear layer remaining, the margin for error was zero. Most contractors would have recommended a full replacement.
The 1 Wood Solution
Utilizing our 98% dust containment fleet and careful sanding techniques, we successfully removed the failed finish without compromising the thin wear layer. We restored three expansive floor levels and three custom staircases using Pallmann Magic Oil (Almond) for a durable, organic finish.
The Commercial Edge
Executed in 72 hour weekend cycles (Friday night to Monday morning), the tech firm's employees walked on the floors by Monday morning with no odor and no disruption to the adjacent café area.
The Restoration
Pallmann Magic Oil, Finished Over Weekends.
