Specialty Finishes
FLOOR STAINING
& LIMING
Transform the colour of your timber floor with custom staining and liming. Raul Prieto is known as "the staining expert" — matching any colour you can imagine.
Custom Floor Staining & Liming
Staining transforms the colour of your timber floor by applying a coloured pigment directly to the wood before the protective coating. Whether you want a rich chocolate, a deep walnut, a warm honey, or a dramatic ebony, our staining specialist Raul Prieto can match any colour you bring us.
Liming is a specialty finish that fills the timber's grain with a white or pale pigment, creating a soft, washed look that highlights the natural grain pattern. It is one of Raul's most popular signature finishes — a truly unique craft that transforms timber floors into something distinctive and elegant.

Our Process
01
Colour Consultation
We discuss your vision, review inspiration images, and assess how your timber species will accept different colours.
02
Sample Boards
We prepare sample boards on your actual timber so you can see how the colour looks in your home's lighting before committing.
03
Sanding Preparation
Your floor is sanded to a fine, clean surface — the blank canvas for the stain or liming.
04
Stain or Liming Application
The chosen colour is carefully and evenly applied, with layering techniques used where depth is required.
05
Protective Coating
Three coats of polyurethane seal and protect the colour, ensuring it lasts the life of the coating.
