The Junction floors
The Junction is one of Newcastle's oldest residential areas, and the timber floors tell the story. Narrow blackbutt boards, tallowwood in the hallways, sometimes even red cedar in the grander homes. These floors need careful sanding — aggressive machines in inexperienced hands will burn through the patina that gives these homes their soul. Bairt takes his time with heritage floors, preserving the character while delivering a finish that protects for another decade.
Which finish for your The Junction home?
Water-Based
- • Walk on in 2–3 hours
- • Low odour — stay in the house
- • Crystal clear, won't yellow
- • Best for light timbers
Solvent-Based
- • Rich warm amber tone
- • Extremely hard-wearing
- • Ideal for high-traffic homes
- • Traditional look on hardwoods
Not sure? Bairt will walk you through both options on site.
