Installation accessories

Wood floor accessories are an essential part of the floor’s installation stage. From abrasives, to adhesives, from fillers to fixings - at WFA we are proud to stock all you will need for the installation and maintenance of a new floor.

We are equally able to help with the supply of products for floor refurbishing experts, our broad range of polishing pads, hardwood lacquers, stains, oils and waxes are perfect for any restoration job.

Whilst hardwood mouldings will not be front of mind when your customer is choosing their new wood floor, at WFA we believe they are an important part of the process.

Not only do they help keep the floor secure and looking brilliant, they can help bridge a gap from one room to another to ensure a seamless transition.

At WFA we only sell accessories to help you install a wood floor which are of the highest quality and from leading manufacturers, providing a quality finish to any job.

Adesiv

WFA are the exclusive UK distributor of Adesiv. They have been growing as a company for 40 years thanks to the continuing investment into the research and development sector, plus their own installation of an advanced technological plant for the production of raw materials.

Listed below are the essential items needed whether you are installing, finishing or maintaining an engineered or solid wood floor, herringbone blocks, battens or parquet.

Among the products we stock mention must be made to the Adegloss 10. This is a hygro-hardening expanding polyurethane resin that can be used before and after the installation of flooring. Ideally used for small repairs of strips that have not perfectly bonded to the subfloor, it has a UNIQUE swelling characteristic that allows the filling of empty spaces.

Hermes

Germany is the home of Hermes, but Hermes Abrasives UK Ltd has been conveniently located in Colchester since 1985, this makes ordering and re-stocking for us at WFA a speedy process.

Within the flooring trade there are four types of abrasive grains typically used; Aluminium Oxide or Ali Oxide, Silicone Carbide, Zirconia or Zirc and Ceramic Grain.

Ali Oxide is a sharp, blocky mineral renewing its cutting edges as you work. It has what is known as a friability characteristic and fragments under the heat and pressure generated whilst sanding. The extreme hardiness of this abrasive means that it does not substantially dull before it fragments, thus undoubtedly making Ali Oxide the more economical abrasive.

Silicone Carbide, long and thin in nature, there are no choices on this particular abrasive. It’s tougher and sharper than most Ali Oxide options, breaking into smaller pieces when in use and for this reason it does mean that it will not renew its cutting edges whilst fragmenting. When working you will find that you sand at a much better rate in the first instance but this mineral will dull a lot quicker than Ali Oxide. Use as a perfect solution for sanding ceramic finishes from wood or cutting back lacquers.

Zirconia, the grain on this mineral is again significantly tougher than Ali Oxide, it is a man made material using both this and zircon. When using these belts, as the grain breaks down under the heat and pressure of heavy grinding stress, it fragments into smaller jagged pieces. It has a great cut rate, a long life and is perfect for sanding wood, especially the coarser grits.

Ceramic Grain abrasives are to a higher degree more sensitive to both the heat and pressure of sanding. When in use the micro-crystalline structure of the mineral breaks into smaller razor-like pieces before it dulls. We do not stock these but can order them in.
