Osmo Hard Wax Oil – Environmental Benefits
August 24th, 2010Osmo Hard Wax Oil – Practical Benefits
August 24th, 2010- The major benefit of Hardwax Oil is that minor damaged areas or high wear areas can be rebuilt without refinishing the entire floor, saving thousands of dollars. You can even leave the furniture in place! It’s water and stain resistant so you can use it in high traffic areas.
- Preserves the look and feel of real wood–not a plastic coating. You can “feel” the difference on your feet.
- Easy to apply – just two thin coats.
- Will not raise the grain when applied. Therefore no need to sand between coats.
- Thixotropic – no brush marks in hot weather.
- Penetrates into the wood surface, keeping it elastic but making it water-resistant. Finished wood won’t show water stains.
- Easy to clean – just vacuum and damp-mop.
- One liter covers about 200 to 250 square feet per coat and requires only 2 coats in most cases.
Before and After the finishing
August 24th, 2010This is a reclaimed fir floor before the finish is put on.
Here is the same floor with the water-based finish applied. It completely enhances the natural patina of the wood….making it a spectacular floor.
Turning this……………

This is how our wood arrives. After we’ve sourced it out, the wood is denailed, sorted, bundled and shipped. It’s then milled here in Calgary.
It’s then turned into this…………………..
Currie Barracks Reclamation
July 3rd, 2010Wood Floors is pleased to let you know we have been reclaiming wood from the first demolition at the Currie Barracks site (Canadian Forces Base) in Calgary. This first demolition site was a hangar built in 1936 and was used to train pilots. In 1998, the Canadian Forces Base was decommissioned, giving opportunity for a wide variety of private use for the land and it’s buildings. This particular hangar was used by movie and television production companies for shows such as Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Show and other projects.
We’re in the process of denailing and sorting and then will start the milling of these amazing beams and planks into a one-of-a-kind hardwood floor. We excited to not only give you a Green product, but to produce one with so much history.
If you want a piece of Canadian history, please contact us.
