Durable and professional results for school and gymnasium floors

School halls and gymnasiums see heavy use and need floors that can withstand constant traffic. Our team is experienced in sanding and sealing large-scale wooden floors for educational and sporting environments. We’ll either restore your existing surface or lay and finish a new one that’s built for strength and performance.
We carefully plan each project, ensuring each layer of sanding and coating has enough time to cure properly for long-term durability. Whether you want a matte finish or a high-gloss polish, we’ll help you select the right floor coatings to match your facility's needs.

Perfect finish with German-engineered LÄGLER® sanding equipment

To achieve a flawless result, Flooring Effects uses world-class equipment from LÄGLER®, the global leaders in professional floor sanding machines. We rely on the iconic Hummel floor sander to complete both large-scale commercial projects and detailed residential work.
Benefits of the Hummel LÄGLER® system include:
  • Exceptional sanding precision – ideal for timber, parquet, and mixed flooring
  • Advanced dust extraction – keeps your home or venue clean during the process
  • Reliable performance – handles challenging timber types and complex flooring designs
For detailed edges and tight corners, we use the LÄGLER® Unico edge sander, which creates clean, sharp edges near walls, doors, and architraves. With this technology and our skilled operators, you’ll get consistent, professional results every time.

High-quality coatings and floor finishes for all timber types

After sanding, the right floor coating is essential to protect the timber and enhance its natural beauty. Flooring Effects applies durable polyurethane, oil-based, or custom finishes depending on the wood type and desired effect.
Certain timbers, such as rimu and other native hardwoods, require special preparation to ensure the finish adheres properly and doesn’t become milky or bubble over time. Our team has the technical knowledge to select the correct sealing process and apply coatings that protect your floor from wear, UV damage, and moisture.
If your floors are in good condition but could use a refresh, we also offer standalone coating services to restore sheen and protect the timber without the need for full sanding.
