Sanding and Refinishing Herringbone Floors
Herringbone Flooring in Manhattan was the main focus of A.M.’s hardwood floor renovation project. With 870 sq ft of herringbone white oak floors, the customer wanted to restore their floors with sanding and refinishing services. This job involved repairing a section of the herringbone floor, applying a natural finish, and using a high-quality polyurethane for protection. Our team worked overnight to minimize disruption to the home, ensuring the job was done efficiently and professionally.
Sanding and Repairing: Restoring the Original Herringbone Design
The first step in the renovation was sanding the existing herringbone flooring. Herringbone patterns are intricate, and our team made sure to preserve the unique design while ensuring an even, smooth surface. We also repaired 100 sq ft of the white oak herringbone floor, replacing damaged sections with new material to match the original look. Sanding helped remove imperfections and prepared the floor for refinishing, making it look fresh and ready for the next steps.

Natural Finish: Highlighting the Wood’s Beauty
For this project, A.M. chose a natural finish for their herringbone floors. By leaving the wood unstained, we highlighted the natural beauty and grain of the white oak. This timeless and elegant choice allowed the herringbone pattern to stand out without the distraction of a stain. The natural finish also ensured that the wood’s original color and texture were maintained, giving the floor a clean, classic look.
Polyurethane Protection: Bona Traffic and Durable Finish
To finish the renovation, we applied three coats of Bona Traffic polyurethane. Bona Traffic is a premium polyurethane that provides a durable, long-lasting finish, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. The three layers of Bona Traffic offer superior protection while enhancing the beauty of the natural wood. The final result was a smooth, shiny, and resilient surface that will stand up to everyday wear while showcasing the stunning herringbone pattern.
A.M.’s herringbone floors in Manhattan now shine with a natural finish, offering both beauty and durability. The sanding, repairs, and refinishing services transformed the space, making the floors look new while maintaining their original charm.
