The brief

The function hall at Wimbledon Rugby Football Club has a large hardwood strip floor that years of matches, functions and heavy footfall had worn down to a dull, patchy grey.

Before & after

Before: Clubhouse function hall, Wimbledon RFC — Before

After: Clubhouse function hall, Wimbledon RFC — Before

Work completed

Full sand of a large open hall: belt sanding across the main floor through progressive grits, edge sanding around the perimeter, benches and doorways, fine sanding to remove the scratch pattern, then a finish suited to a busy clubhouse.

Challenges overcome

A big commercial space with ingrained dirt and heavy wear lanes, and dust to keep under control in a working clubhouse – handled with Bona DCS 70 dust containment connected to the machines, as you can see in the progress photos.
