Reclaimed Pitch Pine Flooring in Madrid (Pino Melis)

The soul of Madrid’s 19th-century bourgeois architecture: virgin-growth longleaf pine characterized by extreme resin density, warmth, and unmatched historic character.

Restoring & Preserving Authentic Melis Pine

Pitch pine requires a delicate and knowledgeable refinishing protocol:

  • Controlled Sanding: Preserving the maximum wearable thickness and avoiding burning the natural resin canals during high-friction passes.
  • Resin-Compatible 2K Primers: Specialized barrier coats that prevent natural resin bleeds from interfering with waterborne polyurethanes.
  • Anti-UV Non-Yellowing Sealers: Preserving the natural golden-honey tone without dark orange oxidation.
