Extensions - Matching New & Old Floors
When considering polished timber flooring, particularly in the context of adding an extension to your home, careful planning is essential to maintain a cohesive and visually appealing finish. Home renovations and extensions frequently lead to variations between the existing timber floor and the newly added sections.
Colour variations
These differences can stem from using different timber species in the extension compared to the original flooring. Even when the same species of timber is used, the age difference between the older and newer sections often, consequently, results in noticeable variations in colour tones.
Timber species
To address these challenges, we, therefore, always recommend, wherever possible, selecting the same timber species as the existing floor. This approach, in turn, minimizes inconsistencies and enhances the overall harmony between the two areas. Colour matching timber floors is a key technique we use to ensure a seamless blend of the old and new sections.
Plan 'B' is the Next Best Option
Alternatively, if using the same species is not feasible, opting for a lighter timber for the extension is, thus, a practical solution. This allows us to apply staining techniques more effectively, thereby colour matching timber floors seamlessly and blending the new flooring with the old.

Brisbane Polished Floors F.A.Q.
How long does sanding and polishing take?
Generally, floor sanding in Brisbane takes 4 to 6 days to complete a full house (to sand floors, coat/polish) depending on size. Also, see our home preparation guide for customers with helpful advice + more.
Can we stay in our home during works?
Generally, no. Although, where a two-story house can ‘seal off’ each level, then yes, of course. While inspecting your floors however, we always confirm this.
Do the sanders create much dust?
Besides our floor sanders being vacuum assisted, we also use room barriers, as well as refined methods to control it. Nevertheless, we always guarantee a dust-free home after completion.
Can you fill the gaps between floorboards?
In brief, no. Because timber will always expand and contract, then, as a result, the filler will always crack and break out. Read more about filling gaps between floorboards.
Can you remove our old floor coverings?
Yes. Our quotes always include options for extra services such as floor covering removal and disposal.
