Oakwood bespoke colour finish with Pallmann Magic Oil | Art of Clean

I want to share with you the special qualities of Pallmann Magic Oil, which is a great product to use on the installation, renovation and maintenance of wood flooring.

This morning Pierre was mixing a bespoke colour using Pallmann Magic Oil 2K on a sample piece of solid oak wood to show to a customer.

Before applying the oil mix, the wood sample was sanded back using a 60, 80 and 100 grit sanding paper.  The wood was also water popped, which means light moisture is used to open the grain, which in turns swells the wood fibres and more colour is accepted into the wood.

The oil is then mixed using 15% black and 85% brown.  The oil is applied to the wood and forced into the fibres of wood with a green hand pad and the excess removed.

Pierre was using a piece of oak, but Pallmann Magic Oil works well on pine and most other types of wood.

As well as black and brown the other main colours are white, grey, dark brown, red brown and natural .

Some of the benefits of using magic oil, apart from the ones already mentioned are the four hours drying time and so the floor can be used much quicker, as opposed to 12 hours with other brand floor oils.

Magic Oil also comes with a hardener which makes it much harder wearing than many other oils. Also, if the floor is scratched the floor can be easily repaired with simply keying back the area and then apply a re-oil.

In the case of coloured oil, you would need to key back the whole floor.

Below is a previous example using Treatex (left) and Liberon (right).

Futon Beds and much, much more

Earlier in September, we posted an article raving about the benefits and wonders to be had from creating furniture from common pallet wood. Well, we're at it again.

This time we've gone a little further in our search for the most interesting ways to model poor pallets into superior designs. Why settle for a settee, when you can get a Transformer; Sofatron becomes bedmatrix.

With those left-over pieces, after you've created something marvelous for the living-room, why not create something comfy for the dog. Bot that he or she will use it (they much prefer your sofa, bed or lap) but it's the thought that counts.

This sliding pallett door is simply special. It has that heavy, rich, antique look and wouldn't look out of place in a country cottage or manor.

Now, this is for the lads. After those hours of hard labour and graft, don't you deserve a treat too? And what could be better than to wipe the sweat from your brow with an ice-cold Cerveja? Take one table, slice two even holes, add deep receptacle, insert draining function (one assumes for when the ice melts) and deposit beer.

And finally, possibly my favourite (seasonal too, given it's nearly Halloween), the pallett coffin. It explains why zombies and the skeletons in general escape so easily during the full moon. Note to self: use non-rotted pallets for coffin building exercise.

Here at Art of Clean, we don't actually make these things, but if we did (in the immortal, paraphrased words of a very well known beer company) they'd be the best pallett creations, ever.

Restoring wood floors without sanding

Aunties Tea shop is situated in Cambridge next to the Market Square.

Their lovely oak floor gets very greasy and dirty from the heavy foot traffic that passes through daily.  Art of Clean maintains the floor every six months to ensure it is always looking at its best. 

How do we “clean” and oil their oak floor?

We will deep clean the floor with a rotary scrub machine and Pallmann Neutral Cleaner. We will repeat the clean until we are completely happy with the floor. Once dry, a coat of Pallmann Magic Oil is bladed on and buffed in.

Maintaining the floor with a deep clean and oil benefit the client. The floor does not need a full sanding so the whole process can be completed much quicker and they can use the floor the next day

So next time you are in Aunties Tea Shop don’t forget to take a look at the lovely floor!
