Technically, I am only working with only part of my house, as I will explain.
I used yellow tongue when I found out it could be stained and varnished. Using it to floor a north facing verandah when converting to a sunroom.
However, I was not aware of the waxed coating. At my age and gender I do not relish the idea of wrangling a floorsander for an area of 7m x 2.5m
I believe I gave enough Tassie oak tongue and groove (earmarked for kitchen benches) to cover the sunroom floor.
When I mentioned what I intended to do, I was told that:
(a) battens need to be put down first,
(b) a waterproof membrane needs to be placed between both flooring materials, and
(c) the yellow tongue still needs to be sanded.
Are any of the above eessential?
Should sanding is still be required would a handheld belt sander be able to tackle 17.5sqm?
If I do need to sand could you advise what sealants, stain and varnish to use.
Thank you in advance for your help. Regards Sanni
