 Our main business is restoration of wood floors. We also offer wood floor installation and occasionally we clean, grind and seal stone floors. We will be happy to help with any of your flooring requirements. We are based in North London. 
My name is Arnis Augulis: I am originally from Latvia but have been living and working in the UK since 1998
I have worked with several UK companies specialising in installing and refurbishing wood and stone surfaces, in a very wide range of buildings, mainly with flooring and similar surfaces.Since 1998, my company, AA Floors, has specialised in the finishing of new and old wooden floors - supplying, fitting, repairing, sanding and finishing to the highest standards. We are a well established wood floor finishing team, fully experienced and equipped with the finest European floor working and finishing machinery. We have long experience in using the most advanced modern, and the best traditional, floor treatments and finishes - our close relationships with manufacturers of these timber treatments mean we can match and reproduce any existing flooring - whatever the colour or finish: if you provide us with a sample, we can replicate it. We are able to apply most types of flooring treatments, for example :- water based lacquers; hard wax oils; solvent-basedand solvent-free high performance finishes. For creating colour effects and wood staining, we use many different techniques - spirit based stains, reactive stains, aquavintage stains, aquapads, tinted sealers or oils. Other types of treatment we carry out include: for oak flooring ageing, the traditional method of aqueous ammonia darkening; for wood bleaching we use non-harmful oxygen-based systems rather than acidic or alkaline processes. If you do not need a complete floor to be refurbished, we can work on small localised areas only - so we can work from a small stained patch or damaged single board or block up to whole rooms and buildings. We also repair and refurbish all sorts and sizes of timber worktops and tables - we treat them with the best table and worktop sealers and treatments to give exceptional wear and stain resistance whilst keeping the natural 'feel' and appearance of the original wood. Some of the projects where we have carried out flooring finishing: Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; Tate Britain, London; Royal Opera House, London; Newport Street Gallery, Lambeth; Gagosian Gallery , London; Central Square North, Newcastle upon Tyne; many other public and private properties. We are not a 'builder' who can 'do everything' - we are a specialist floor finishing team, who know how to finish wood floors - Properly. Painstakingly Carefully. Conscientiously Beautifully ! Fly & Sand Competition 2024The year 2024 was a significant one for AAFloors. Ten of the UK’s top floor sanding professionals, including us, were invited to Lagler’s headquarters in South-West Germany. As winners of the Fly & Sand Competition 2024, we had the chance to meet and learn from the creators of the best floor sanding technology on the market.During our visit, we experienced a comprehensive factory tour, showcasing the entire process from machine assembly to delivery. It was a great opportunity to meet the Lagler team and see firsthand the latest tools and technologies. The visit highlighted advancements in machinery and innovative methods for finishing wood floors more quickly and efficiently. The program included the Lagler PST floor sanding training course, with both theoretical and practical components. We enjoyed three unforgettable days in Güglingen.

WIRE BRUSHED FLOORING What is Wire Brushed Wood Flooring? Wire brushing offers a delicate texture to the floor while maintaining its smooth and attractive appearance. Wire brushing process involves pulling out soft grains from the wood surface while leaving the hard grains smoother, giving the floor a textured finish. This helps construct a more durable floor that is able to protect its self against everyday wear and tear. These days, many flooring companies are offering a wide variety of textured wooden floors pre-made , which you need to install only. When it comes to sand and finish new or old - existing wood floor , many companies found difficult from technical point of view to wire brush or texture wood floor on site. But recently there have been made big improvements for wood texturing on site, there are different grades of brushes available to attach on sanding machines. PROS OF TEXTURED HARDWOOD FLOORING The distressed and rustic look of textured boards can make your home feel more traditional. Some people don’t like the plastic, shiny feel of some of these lacquered floors and may opt for boards brushed with oil to avoid this look. You can have the best of both worlds by choosing boards that are lightly sanded and treated with a matte finish. They will still look authentic, minus the textured finish. These floors are great at hiding scratches and damage that can occur with hardwood floors because they will blend in with a finish that is already rough. Textured floors can also have a tactile feel and grip to the surface. The surface of wire brushed wood floors becomes stronger when the softer wood is removed, exposing the hard wood. Once the softer wood is removed, wire brushed floors can withstand more wear and tear because they are harder. Homes with kids, pets and lots of foot traffic are ideal for wire-brushed flooring because new scratches will blend right in!  CONS OF TEXTURED HARDWOOD FLOORS Due to the exposed natural crevices and nooks, wire brushed hardwood floors are much harder to clean than other options. As a result, it is imperative that you clean the floors regularly so as to prevent the occurrence of sticky areas or chances of compressed dirt. When it is time to refinish the surfaces of wire-brushed floors, you have to do it with care. When not done properly, it can end up destroying the look of your floors. At AAFLOORS we are happy not only to help with the finishing of wire-brushed hardwood floors but also to help maintain the original texture and appearance of your floors.  How much does wire-brushed hardwood cost? If the hardwood flooring is pre-finished — meaning manufactured beforehand — the cost will be minimal. However, flooring that's finished on-site results in a little higher cost, since it requires significant manual labor. Wood that's hand-brushed on-site labour cost starts from £ 5.00 per square meter, but it also depends on depth of texture, layout and how big is the entire area.
