Rowheath Pavillion Wood Floor Renovation

Rowheath Pavillion has been at the heart of the Bournville community since 1924. The Terrace Room has always been central to entertainment at Rowheath. In the past, it was used for work dinners and balls, with family entertainment at the weekends. Today, the Terrace Room is available to hire for events such as parties and weddings. As the Terrace Room is very popular, the client requested a robust floor finish due to it being booked most days of the week and at weekends for weddings.

In the past, the onsite team buffed a lacquered wooden floor, which significantly degraded the finish. After Inner Space Flooring met with the client, they recommended PALLMANN Magic Oil for the job, as PALLMANN provides complementary cleaning and maintenance products that the onsite team can use once the job is completed. Once the flooring was completed, Inner Space Flooring conducted a training session with the team at Rowheath Pavillion to show them how to use the buffing machine with the correct pads and after-care products.

To restore the beautiful herringbone flooring, Inner Space Flooring undertook several steps. First, they had to sand the wooden floor with a special sanding machine. They then vacuumed the area in preparation to fill in any gaps in the floor. Once the gaps were filled and fully dried, they repeated the sanding and vacuuming process. Finally, Inner Space Flooring applied the PALLMANN Magic Oil to the fresh wooden flooring. PALLMANN Magic Oil was chosen for this project as it is a 2-component oil that is also been awarded EC 1 certification for being totally solvent-free and meets the requirements for occupational health and safety. It was perfect for the client as the PALLMANN Magic Oil range has a full array of maintenance products. Inner Space Flooring also installed new entrance matting leading to the hall to protect the floor better.

The project was completed in September 2023. The feedback from the client at Rowheath Pavillion has been nothing but positive and has exceeded their expectations for the end result. “Inner Space Flooring did a wonderful job restoring our tired-looking wooden floor. They revealed and lovingly restored the natural colour of the wood; and showed us how we can care for it going forward. Our community groups love the new-looking floor and we have received lots of positive feedback. I highly recommend this company!” – Rob Halcrow, Chief Executive Officer.
