I am hoping that someone will be able to help!!
We have a large lounge 38 m2 which has a lovely American Oak floor.
We have treated it in the past with Danish Wood Oil – as the previous owner of the house, who had the floor installed, recommend it and used it.
This was fine – there are only 2 of us both adults – we treated the wood once a year and it always looked lovely.
18 months ago we adopted a rescue dog – a large Bullmastiff cross (50 kilos) who to be honest has destroyed the floor!! It is only starches to the surface of the oil but it looks a real mess.
Now we are getting the house ready to put on the market and we want the lounge to look at it’s best – not JUST for the pictures but for every viewing!
Now I have done loads of research but my partner and I are having our own battle with regards to what to put on the floor to give it a beautiful shine BUT that is hard and tough enough to cope with dog scrabbling on the floor after squirrels she can see in the garden!
I have read that the Bona Mega or Traffic would be great – like a varnish but a lacquer.
I have been told that Osmo Oil should be enough – BUT I am not convinced and as I am only prepared to give this one shot before the move and we are hiring a sander to get it 100% right, I have to get it right first time!
My partner wants to put Ronseal Diamond Hard for floors (proper varnish) down, we have used it on floorboards in a different part of the house and it IS dog resistant, but I am very reluctant to do this – unless some else thinks this will work and won’t do damage to the floor?
I am prepared to spend a bit of money to make it right but I am only prepared to do this once – and I can’t cope with any more earache!
So if ANYONE of you lovely people can recommend what type of finish/product I should use for a tough dog proof shiny finish I would be overjoyed!
Thank you VERY much in advance!
