Why restore a parquet floor in Vevey
Vevey combines Belle Époque buildings, contemporary lakefront residences and refined city-centre apartments. Many of these homes feature old solid parquet floors — restoring them preserves the character of the property while modernising the finish.
Restoring rather than replacing preserves a noble material, lowers the environmental footprint of the works and adds real value to your property — on the demanding Lake Geneva real estate market, an impeccable parquet weighs concretely on the perceived value of a home for sale or rental.
Dust-controlled sanding — how it works
1. Site preparation
Skirting-board and joinery protection, threshold removal when needed, filling of holes and cracks, board-by-board inspection.
2. Dust-controlled sanding
Professional belt sander and edger connected to a high-vacuum extraction unit — more than 99% of dust captured at the source. At least three passes with decreasing grits for a perfectly level surface.
3. Edge and corner finishing
Rotary edger and corner sander for a homogeneous result even under radiators and along skirting boards.
4. Dust removal and finish
HEPA vacuuming and thorough wiping before applying varnish or oil. Each coat is de-nibbed for a silky touch.
Premium varnish, natural oils or raw finish
Vitrification (varnish): water-based polyurethane, EC1 Plus certified, applied in three coats with de-nibbing. Matt, satin or gloss — durable, easy to maintain.
Oil finish: natural oils by Rubio Monocoat, Osmo or Berger-Seidle. The oil penetrates the wood, reveals its grain and preserves its natural feel. Available in tinted versions for whitewashed, smoked, patinated or natural looks.
Raw look: a contemporary finish that preserves the original pale tone of oak while providing lasting protection.

Plan for 2 to 4 days for an 80 to 120 m² apartment, including sanding, applying the finish and drying times.

Varnish or oil — which finish should I choose?
Varnish (vitrification) offers a very durable, easy-care protection ideal for high-traffic areas and rental properties. Oil enhances the natural texture of the wood for a warm, premium feel.
