Why a central Singapore parquet team
Queenstown and Toa Payoh were Singapore's first two satellite towns, and much of the private housing in Bukit Timah, Tanglin, River Valley, Novena and Marine Parade was built from the late 1970s to the 1990s. Of the 301 condos on this site, 84 were completed before 2000 and 25 before 1990. Many still have their original solid parquet.
Old teak and herringbone floors need different work from the engineered timber in newer downtown and Marina Bay towers. Because our jobs are in the central region, we know these floors and condo rules well and spend less time on the road.
Looking after your floor
| Task | How often | Who |
|---|---|---|
| Sweep or vacuum | Daily | You |
| Damp mop (well wrung out) | Weekly | You |
| Recoat | Every 3 to 5 years | Us |
| Full sanding | When varnish wears through | Us |
