Finishing cabin floors.

Small cabin floor you should cover bare pressure treated floor plywood. Vinyl plank flooring is easy to install and comes in a variety of looks such as wood tile and stone. Finishing the sub floor was just one of the cost effective projects we had done at the cabin and it s probably our favorite. Because i selected finished decorative panels there was no need to paint the interior of my small cabin.

For a fun wall accent we also put up thin brick veneer. Find a rustic look with a hand scraped texture or a subtle stone look to match your cabin s appeal. I feel like a cabin is a place to express a little more creativity and expression. I made a detailed video going through the installation and finishing process.

By and large there are 2 different types of pre finishing for timber floor boards. The most natural but least water resistant film finish is shellac. These techniques can be used on any floor or any wood surfa. Before finishing the floor we had many people giving us their doubts.

For you purposes at least 5 6 coats of shellac can be brushed or rolled on to a well sanded pine floor. This video goes into detail on the proper way of refinishing the floor in a boat. This also means that you end up with a very uniform finish which should result in a great looking log cabin flooring. Danny love grand rivers ky.

Oil based finish will last much longer in comparison. I am working on refinishing my cabin floorboards. If you choose varnish instead of polyurethane to finish your floor you will want to make sure that you select a varnish or finish that has hardening agents added to it to give additional durability to the pine wood. Just measure cut and nail to the wall studs.

The wood look and feel suits me well. Don casey replies. If it was our home i must say that i probably wouldn t have been as adventurous. Oil based varnishes are too soft.

Polyurethane is the better choice for a cabin sole. Although in my opinion 4 coats of satin polyurethane makes the very best finish for a pine floor there are many alternatives. My husband and i however like to experiment and figured our cabin was the place to do it. Of course a clear finish alone should retain that but then the floor would be lighter in colour than i want.
