Hi trying to help someone out (who is going through a bad patch), who is in a modern flat with no flooring.
The floors are very level and the finish on the hardboard (sub floor) is flat and smooth, there are stains on the floor.
The ideal solution would be a laminate floor as it is easy to clean. However he has no money, and I cannot lay laminate or carpet.
Painting/Staining + Varnishing, this would be cheap and hopefully give a decent surface which would be easy to sweep clean (no need for an expensive vacum cleaner)
I guess I should use a stain (which one??) and then varnish it (which one??). Bear in mind would need something that dries pretty quickly so can get back into the flat.
Was thinking to go up one day and stain the floors give it some hours to dry before we walk on it. Then the next day varnish it - but what products..
