Maintenance of wooden floors

May 29th, 2008

Floors surfaces exposed to severe use will show signs of wear and tear very quickly.

A regular maintenance program would ensure that your floors are treated properly and kept in pristine conditions.

We recommend the use of professional water based products that can be diluted to suit your specific needs and can be easily applied by mop.

Arbos will offer a simple Dual Application maintenance program. The 2 products used in this program have been specifically developed for repetitive use and will help to regenerate and protect your wooden floors for longer.

 

All about wood care and protection!

May 6th, 2008

Everybody knows that wood requires regular care, but do we all know …

  • which is the best product to use to protect a French Polished surface?
  • would an oil finished table top or parquet floor require the same maintenance?

Why not talk with other people with the same questions? Somebody may have the right answer for you!

Your questions will also prompt an answer from our Technical Customer Service, and if you prefer a more private communication with a technician see our home page, …you are only a ‘click’ away.

We are confident that Arbos will be able to offer the right product for all and every application.

Feel free to use this vehicle to exchange ideas and opinions, and you don’t have to be a customer to use this blog!

A professional repair can restore a prized possession!

May 6th, 2008

With the right training and the right product it is amazing what you can do and how well you can restore a damaged surface.

An unexpected accident may have spoiled a unique heirloom beyond repair, … don’t give up, there may be expert advice at hand.

I have seen unrecognisable antiques brought back to their former glory by an ‘expert restorer’; often that means simply using the right tools and the right products.

Arbos offers a comprehensive range of touch up products, and the know how to use them correctly. You can source different Touch-up Cases and you can kit them to fit your particular needs.

Send us details and pictures of the specific piece, highlighting the damage areas. Maybe there is someone that can help!

Why would you need 6 different types of oils to finish a surface?

May 6th, 2008

The correct product to use for traditional finishes must always remain a matter of personal choice!

It would be very difficult to prove that a Danish Oil would be a better product to use than a specific brand of Finishing Oil. The texture, the smell, the feel or just the fact that you like the colour may be the criteria of choice!

You can use this blog if you want to argue the finer points of your preferred wax, oil or shellac.  We will welcome any such a toss as we are always willing to learn, also  because we intend to remain customer driven!

Arbos will offer a comprehensive range of traditional products and has the technical know-how gained from over 100 years in the woodworking sector.

If you would like to know about our products or wish to talk with us about your applications or special needs, we will be only too pleased to share your views.

Dealing with the bizarre, exotic … and the novelties!

The ‘Wooden Footloose’ blog’.

You are free to choose the subject, let’s have some fun and see where it takes us!

At Arbos we are always happy to discover and probe the unknown, provided it is and  does remain within legal boundaries and it somehow relates to wood.
