Before: Original orange blue gum timber flooring - orange due to age and old style finish.
The Original State of the Project
Our client had a home with Blue Gum timber floors that were originally orange and yellow, and worn in many areas, especially near the kitchen, behind the counter, and by the exit towards the back veranda. The goal was to remove the outdated coloring and wear, creating a cohesive look with the pre-finished, pre-colored engineered timber in the back extension.
After bleaching. the orange / red tannins has been removed.
How We Solved the Issue
We began by sanding the Blue Gum timber to remove the worn surfaces and imperfections. To eliminate the orange hue, we bleached the timber, providing a blank canvas. We then applied a subtle custom lime wash that enhanced the natural grain without hiding it. This step ensured the lime color wasn't corrupted by the original tannins of the timber. Finally, we sealed the floors with a durable, water-based finish.
Final results: Bleached and limed. And colour blended to existing engineered timber.
The Transformation
The transformation was remarkable. The bleached and limed Blue Gum timber perfectly blended with the engineered timber in the back extension, achieving a cohesive and modern look. The removal of the reddish hue and the subtle lime wash brought out the timber's texture beautifully, brightening the space and adding a touch of elegance. The client was thrilled with the color blending and the overall improvement in the interior aesthetics.
Benefits of the Project
This project demonstrated the versatility of Blue Gum timber, showing that it is possible to achieve an oak-like color with proper bleaching and liming techniques. The water-based finish added durability and maintained the fresh look without yellowing over time. Our client's satisfaction with the seamless blend and modernized interior highlights the benefits of choosing professional timber floor services.
