Season-by-Season Guide
Spring
Windows can be opened for dust extraction and lacquer fumes. Moderate humidity ensures even finish.
Summer
Fastest drying times for lacquer and oil finishes. Rooms can be ventilated easily.
Autumn
Still excellent conditions. Lacquer dries well with central heating beginning to warm the house.
Winter
Possible but slower. Water-based lacquers can take longer to cure. Oil finishes work well with central heating.
Weather & Conditions
Floor finishes need adequate ventilation to cure properly and for fume extraction. Humidity affects water-based lacquers — too humid and they cloud; too dry and they dry too fast. We adapt our approach to conditions.
Booking Advice
Floor sanding is ideal when you can vacate rooms for 24–48 hours for finish curing. Spring and summer are easiest for this. Book 3–4 weeks ahead.
